It’s time for another edition of Powerful Picks with some familiar names and newcomers as well. With some killer remixes, slamming EP’s, and fresh originals, you won’t want to get your bass fix from anywhere else. Kick back, crank the speakers, and get ready for our hand-crafted selection – this is Powerful Picks.

Gammer – THE DROP (Fransis Derelle Remix)

Kicking us off this week is Fransis Derelle with his latest remix of Gammer’s “THE DROP” on the official Monstercat remix pack. With eleven remixes compiling together to make the two separate packs for the addicting original release, it’s safe to say that this massive flip is one of the best to come from the albums. With a heavier than life drop and some serious synth work, it will be impossible to stand still when you drop this.

Crankdat – Say It (feat. Sara Skinner)

Up next is the heavy hitter producer and DJ Crankdat with a fresh release coming your way alongside Armada Music. “Say It” is a unique and refreshing take on the classic DnB sound that fuses pop and high tempo production. With Sara Skinner lending a helping hand in delivering a flawless top line and infectious vocal chops packed into an adventurous chorus, you’ll be hooked on this new track before it even comes to an end.

Meaux Green – Atlas Shrugged EP

After releasing his recent single “Call To Arms” with Flux Pavilion, Meaux Green is now here to bring forth the rest of his Atlas Shrugged EP on Circus Records. With three more tracks that capture his own sound and are able to get any crowd rowdy, it’s going to be hard to call just one a favorite. You can expect an upbeat and high energy sound loaded into each tune that will surprise you with each unexpected drop and twist.

Falcon Funk & Bossfight – Comeback

Out recently on the powerhouse label, Monstercat is the collab between Falcon Funk and Bossfight, “Comeback.” This glitch-hop tune will get you bouncing to the rhythm as the springy percussion and melodic leads takeover. From the groovy synth lines to the non-traditional timing on the leads, you’ll quickly get stuck on this fresh release.

Kill The Noise – Jump Ya Body (SLANDER & TUCKER KREWAY Remix)

Here to showcase another major flip is SLANDER and this time with TUCKER KREWAY helping out as well. Their remix of Kill The Noise’s classic hit “Jump Ya Body” will get you jumping around as the percussions slam and the bass pumps. With some seriously heavy drops and an unexpected double time ending, you’ll quickly be banging your head with each wobble.

Lu Han – Football Gang Remix (feat.Fabian Mazur)

The legendary Chinese singer and megastar Lu Han is here to showcase a fresh hybrid remix of his track “Football Gang”. The tune is one that features Fabian Mazur and mixes future bass with heavy trap elements. From the addicting vocal hooks to the luscious and moving chords in the drop, you won’t want to miss out on this uplifting record.

Holly – Reyna EP

Closing us out this week is the legendary Portugal producer Holly with a new three-track EP on Borgore’s imprint Buygore. This album takes us over to the experimental side of bass music as Holly continues to push the envelope for bass music and evolve his own unique sound a step further. After giving the EP a listen, it’s no wonder why his music was quickly picked up by the highly regarded label.
