It’s the beginning of June – festival season and warm weather is officially upon us! This week’s collection of Powerful Picks are full of blissful original tracks and remixes guaranteed to start your summer playlists off happily!
Trademark – Where We Fit In (BYNON x Ember Island x Echosmith)
This mash up of several songs (including a Justin Bieber cover,) flows ever so smoothly and harmoniously, but when the bass drops, it’s a festival banger: get ready to sing along and jump.
Jason Derulo feat. Jennifer Lopez & Matoma – Try Me
In a pretty surprising turn of events, Matoma collaborates with two pop stars on an ultra-chill and fresh single “Try Me.” With over 200,000 plays in less than a week, this single is definitely worth checking out.
HAEZER – Mutate
Magnifying a dark, somewhat evil theme, HAEZER drops “Mutate.” Combining mid-tempo vibes with heavy, roaring basslines. This is the first time HAEZER has been on Powerful Picks, but most likely wont be the last.
Stratus – The Collider (Original Mix)
Stratus goes harder than hard with his stomach churning original “The Collider.” The track significantly mixes it up with plenty of catchy hooks, pro sound enhancements, and firm chord progressions.
Dom Corleone – Dirty Talk
The Godfather-themed DJ has officially released his EDCLV DJ submission for the 2015 festival. A bit of trap, melody, and originality, making it fun from beginning to end.
Gold Dash – Wanna Make
Gold Dash reworks Akon’s “Right Now (Na Na Na).” It is still recognizable, but this is totally an awesome and original track all on its own. Labeled as “future r&b,” this song has futuristic house vibes and r&b beats that will make you fall in love with it (right now, na na na).
The Chainsmokers – Good Intentions (ft. Bullysongs)
The Chainsmoker’s latest release begins like an early Killer’s song, but it quickly turns into an upbeat anthem. Bullysongs vocals and lyrics are beyond catchy. Out of all of the songs on this list, this one makes me feel the happiest.
Years & Years – King (Gryffin Remix)
Gryffin remixes Years & Years “King” into a deep house tune where the vocals truly shine, making this a more emotionally hitting version of the two. The original “King” is currently one of my favorite songs of the moment, and this remix does it justice through and through.
NGHTMARE & SLANDER – “Gud Vibrations (Myles Travitz Remix)
Myles Travitz remixes his good friends’ track, changing up the drop into something that isn’t future trap, but one that’s more uptempo and just as fun as the original. This one is full of good vibes (and vibrations, of course).
Hirshee – Royal Flush (Wild Boyz! Remix)
The Wild Boyz! duo have tossed together another classic dubstep tune. Blending classic late-2000’s dubstep melodies with the grinding drops similar to what Must Die and Skrillex have been dishing out lately.
(We Are) Nexus – They’ll Never Stop Me (Bimbo Jones Remix)
Bimbo Jones’s innovative chill/tropical/deep house track captures a special good vibe moment with each passing moment. Havn’t heard something quite this unique and uplifting in while.
DWNTWN – Til Tomorrow (Avenore Remix)
This chill track from LA’s DWNTWN gets a D&B remix from fellow City of Angel’s musicians Avenore with beautiful violin work by Elise Ackermann.
GIO – By The Morning Feat. Ashley Michelle
A new group Gio has made it’s way on SoundCloud, releasing an electro-infused vocal track with small hints of trance. I wouldn’t call the tune innovative, but definitely has many enjoyable elements to it.
