I love music. This week I took in a bit of everything, which is what I’ve put together below. Without making one tune overshadow another, check out some of our favorite tracks from this week and don’t forget to favorite our SoundCloud playlist linked at the bottom of the page.
Black Tiger Sex Machine x Lektrique – Religion
“Religion” is one of the darkest, baddest, and most epic originals I’ve heard all year. The drop is original and the overall theme is futuristic and intense. Aside from their recent collaberation, the BTSM trio have founded a brand new label, Kannibalen Records, with a roster that will include Snails, Dabin, Lektrique, and many more. BTSM will also be at Electric Forest this weekend, holding a flash mob event within the EF grounds, don’t miss it.
SNBRN – Raindrops Feat. Kerli (Gianni Kosta Remix)
Gianna Costa’s progressive-trance remix of SNBRN’s “Raindrops” delivers extremely trippy and harmonious vibes to say the least. The well-panned sound is super therapeutic and all around beautiful.
Ki:Theory – If You Don’t Care / Fake It (GANZ Remix)
The chill trap remix of “If You Don’t Care / Fake It” from GANZ is euphoric; blending light, poopy sounds with soft, delay synths – a wonderful combination.
Download “If You Don’t Care / Fake It (GANZ Remix)”
Stratus- Juiced EP
Stratus is the type of sound you can expect out of next-gen DJs. His drum kits and plugins selected for this EP are phenomenal, making each song shine by not sounding like any other.
Pegboard Nerds – Swamp Thing
I don’t know what’s better, the album art or the southern-influenced track itself. Pegboard Nerds goes for a video-game hilly billy theme with this one, throwing in some bounce as well, and it works hilariously and wonderfully.
SIVIK – U Got (JackLNDN Remix)
JackLNDN is known for his chill but moving tracks, “U Got (JackLNDN Remix)” is another one for the history books. The trait I love most about JackLNDN is his tracks are never one genre, with the “U Got” remix, the melodies is deep house, the percussion is tech house, and rest is just a beautiful blend of JackLNDN’s style.
Au5 – Inside (feat. Danyka Nadeau)
Au5 hits us with a powerful progression tune containing a classic combination, a powerful house beat, sensual vocals, and a massive raw drop. The melody and background effects really is hard to beat, enjoy Au5’s “Inside” above.
Said The Sky- Book Of Us (ft. Mothica)
Forming highly unique anthems through great production, Said The Sky introduces “Book Of Us” a trap-influenced single that’s as meaningful as it is powerful. Mothica vocals gives the perfect amount of melancholy to the tune, enhancing the themes of “Book Of Us” altogether.
Echosmith – Bright (Lost Kings Remix)
6 days, over 100,000 plays, HypeM #1 overall. That says something in itself. Numbers aside, Lost Kings has yet again brought about magnificent, touching progressive remix that’s all it own, but still contains Lost Kings signature style.
Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano – Come Follow (OLWIK Remix)
Wow. Just when you through you’ve heard the most heartfelt house music, OLWIK comes along and completely takes anthems to an entire new level. “Come Follow (OLWIK Remix)” is everything you could want in a nostalgic feeling progressive tune, and more.

Couzare – Just (Ft. COZY)
“Just” mixes tradition pop instrumentation with some of best elements of the melodic house movement. “Just” re-sparks my excitement of where the genre is heading.
Vaski – 2051 EP
LA-based Vaski is no stranger to RR, when we heard his new EP, sharing was inevitable. Groovy, trippy moments and heavy captipavtiving moemnets are all found within the 3-track experience. This is one EP you’ll want to listen to all the way through.
