This week’s playlist is filled with only the best of the best of spooky melodies and terrorizing bass. If you dare, turn up your speakers, grab some leftover candy, and get ready for this week’s Powerful Picks!
MurMur x Audiodrone – Zombie Aliens
This X-files inspired track combines robotic grime with sci-fi melodies as heavy bass attacks your ears with out of this world ferocity. The tune’s terrifying intro leads into a drop layered with a spooky lead synth that lays hauntingly in the background, providing the perfect ambiance for this creative Halloween tune
Bukez Finezt – Graveyard Shift (Feat. Virtual Riot)
This fire collab between two of Disciple’s most creative producers perfectly captures the feelings of fear and excitement when walking through a graveyard at night. The 80’s style drums and lead melody meet horns tinted with darkness, before a horror filled scream throws the listener into an intense drop that continues to evolve as time goes on.
DJ Fresh – Louder (Crankdat Re-Crank)
Crankdat is back again with yet another one of his renowned re-cranks. This time he took DJ Fresh’s remix of Doctor P and Flux Pavilion’s classic hit “Louder” and turned it on its head. After finding the vocals while he was in Australia 3 months ago and whipping up his own take in only a few hours, this track has been the staple of his sets ever since.
Machete – The Marionette
With “The Marionette” Machete delivers a chilling, yet hard hitting track, proving that there is still life in the genre of Moombahton. Unsettling pianos meet distant percussion and atmospheric risers, slowly but surely evolving into a drop focused on a metallic bass played with captivating rhythm.
Conrak – Shown (Esseks Remix)
Esseks’ remixes Conrak with his ever evolving style, creating a unique track filled with grimy basses and phat, well balanced drums. As always the producer’s impeccable ear for melodies leads the listener on a journey of epic proportions, always leaving them on their toes, wondering which off-kiltered sound of note they might hear next.
Seppa – Conk
This beautifully mixed track sets the stage with lush pads and thick drums, before throwing the listener straight into a rhythmic wonderland of downward pitching sounds. The trippy lead synths and neurobasses that join in as the song develops work to further establish the track as a psychedelic journey that will ooze pleasure out of your ears.
Glitch City – Black Hole Skank
Just like space, this tripped out drum & bass banger continues to expand. Glitch City makes sure that even though the bassline is repetitive, no two moments are the same due to the producer’s careful placement of sound effects and fillers.
