SLANDER & RIOT – You Don’t Even Know Me

Starting us off on a high note is SLANDER and RIOT teaming up to deliver their hypnotizing single “You Don’t Even Know Me.” With shrilling highs from flawless vocals and deep lows in two unique drops, you’ll be torn down the middle on which one is the best. The unique combination of their respective sounds is the cherry on top for this fresh track.

Hekler – Frequency Jammer

Up next with Never Say Die Records is Hekler and his new release “Frequency Jammer.” You’ll be mesmerized as his sound design continues to push the envelope of what’s possible in the realm of dubstep. Don’t let the shorter length of the track fool you though, as he packs in enough of a punch to hit hard!

Trivecta – Axis

Trivecta is here alongside Monstercat to showcase his latest tune “Axis.” This one starts off with a smooth cinematic build that brings you on a long adventure before throwing you into a world of darkness. With slamming percussion and electro style synths, the hybrid record will surely be one to catch you by surprise and get you pumped for any event.

Black Tiger Sex Machine & YOOKiE – Snakes

Black Tiger Sex Machine and YOOKiE couldn’t have paired up more nicely to create the perfect team behind their new collab “Snakes.” This old-school feeling tune will play with your emotions as the nostalgic sounds and sample styles take you back to the early days of acts such as Knife Party. If it’s safe to say one thing, it’s that this electro banger will surely have you moving and headbanging as the bass pumps.

Quix – Giving Up (feat. Jaden Michaels)

If you’re a fan of hypnotic vocals and evolving drops then look no further. Quix is here to present “Giving Up,” a track that will take you from the softer world of future bass to the hard-hitting side of hybrid trap in one track. With Jaden Michaels lending a helping hand to deliver haunting vocals, you’ll surely be hooked on this one before the chorus even approaches.

Midsplit & Lost Capital – New Beginning (feat. xo sad)

Midsplit is back again and this time around with Lost Capital to deliver “New Beginning.” You can expect to be enthralled by the vocals of xo sad that pair perfectly with the producers’ crisp production and perfect vocal mixing. From the unique and unexpected drop to the upbeat feeling captured perfectly, you’ll surely be wanting more from this impeccable team.

Samplifire – Mancubus EP

Closing us out this week is Samplifire and his four-track EP out now on Never Say Die Black Label. His Mancubus album will surely deliver something for bass fans of all subgenres. With brutal drops and a side of experimental production, it will be impossible to not have a crowd rowdy after dropping any of these tunes!
