deadmau5 begins work on his own tropical house EP, ‘Weekend at Meowington’s’
Often known for criticizing the work of Kygo and the tropical house movement, deadmau5 had a sudden change of heart following Kygo's debut performance at Ultra Music Festival this past weekend. In the past, the Canadian pot stirrer had called Kygo's brand of EDM "lobby music" denouncing its integrity and accusing it of something you would hear "in an elevator." After listening to the Norweigan's debut performance at his beloved Ultra Music Festival, Joel has retracted his previous statements stating that he thinks he's "come around on the whole tropical house thing," and that he'll be producing his own 5-track tropical house EP "just in time for summer."

The Chainsmokers release the kinkiest, most NSFW music video of all time
The Chainsmokers sense of humor and charisma is exactly what launched the career of Drew and Alex. Or Alex and Drew, whomever's hair looks better on any given day. The two lampooned nightlife with "#SELFIE" but it was always their talent for reworking indie music that really kept the boys on the map. Now ditching the remix distinction, the New York natives enlist Great Good Fine OK to create an indie meets dancefloor gem all their own.

Watch as the practically inseparable duo get their rocks off in the strangest of ways in the official music video for "Let You Go."
