The Netsky situation - (BONUS JOYRYDE news)

Author: Ryan Dragostinov

Good evening fellas,

For the last week we've had heaps depressing weather... I think I have finally found out why. 

Netsky just released a new single and to say it was disappointing would be an understatement to be honest... Talk about pathetic fallacy.

This news comes straight after his previous release which wasn't terrible, it was just further from his usual. Now don't get me wrong, it's great when artists explore new genres and try something new, but Netsky seems to be straying further from what made him famous (and what his fans loved - drum and bass) and into more popular EDM, following the likes of David Guetta.

I can't help but feel it's a career move motivated more by the prospect of growing his DJ profile, since drum and bass isn't nearly as popular as EDM, which would allow him to play at more festivals and get paid more doing so.

I'm not hating on the man, just a bit sad that we probably wont witness his old school drum and bass glory days again. ;(

ON OTHER, LESS DEPRESSING NEWS

If you're an OG fan, you might remember and earlier post I made about JOYRYDE's cryptic announcement on Facebook, and I predicted that he would be releasing new music and possibly an album.

I was right.

The man himself posted this image to Facebook a few days ago:

"First this.. then my album ‘brave’

November 30 .."

Building upon the previous image he posted, we can now confirm that a Skrillex collaboration is coming first on October 19th, possibly as a single, then he is releasing his album 'Brave' on November 30.

One word: Huge.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm LITERALLY shaking right now

Behold after over a year of silence, JOYRYDE has finally teased what could be new music on his Facebook page this Tuesday.

Although the man has been keeping his fan base up to date amongst his extensive touring this year, this sort of an announcement came out of the blue, and to be honest, we really don't know what to expect. The image was posted on October 4th and contains the OWSLA (JOYRYDE's label) logo on a scrappy background, very much aesthetically significant to JOYRYDE's art style. The image was labelled with the caption "I've never done this before.. I'm ready now" - If I'm being completely honest mate, me too...

Is it a new tour? Is it new merch? Or is it..... Could it be..... new music. Well there's no telling for sure, but an announcement this out of the ordinary can only be good news.

Looking at his Instagram, he has since posted various snippets of a new track, possibly a Skrillex collaboration, however he has not provided any comments and has yet to even mention any release dates.

If my predictions are right, this will not only be a new single, we could be looking at a whole album, because the amount of time we've spent in the dark is way too long for just ONE song, (Also Jauz just released an album after a couple months of silence, maybe we are seeing a trend?). Either way new music is new music and I can't complain at all.

Keen...
