Kodak Black – Too Many Years ft. PnB Rock (Baauer Remix)
In his new Kodak Black remix Baauer continues to draw influence from hip-hop, while expanding past his normal trap sound. A minimal, melodic bass is the main focus of the tune, blending with the crisp drums and vocals to create a sound that makes it impossible to keep your body from moving.
Astroid Afterparty – Planet Party
“Planet Party” is a tune that is literally out of this world. Filled with spacey pads and melodies, the song subtly glides into a drop is heavy, but somehow feels slightly distant. The melody of the metallic basses lead perfectly back into song’s normal pads, creating a tune that is wholesome and filled with replay value.
San Holo – Light (Crankdat Re-Crank)
Crankdat is one artist who continuously pumps out addicting tune after tune. The young producer is here again to deliver a joyful remix that will be finding it’s way to hit us right in the feels. His re-crank of “Light” will have you lost in an atmosphere that will sweep over and take you away to another world.
Wrekloose & YSSY – Obeah
Wrekloose may seem like the new kids on the block, but this duo composed of two industry veterans proves they are far from it. After putting out electro hit after hit, “Obeah” is nothing short of what you would expect from them. With a classic breakbeat feel and powerful chorus, you’ll be moving to every kick on the dance floor when this track drops.
The Weeknd – Party Monster (KRANE Remix)
Like many good remixes, KRANE’s reworking of The Weeknd’s new radio hit finds a good balance between the original source material, and his personal style. Huge pads and bass are the main focus of the song, mixing perfectly with The Weeknd’s smooth vocals to create an immersive audio experience.
Skrillex, 12th Planet & Kill The Noise – Right On Time (not sorry & Wild Boyz! Remix)
not sorry & Wild Boyz! have made a name for themselves via terrifyingly massive bass bangers that gain their edge by going bigger and harder than the competition. “Right On Time (not sorry & Wild Boyz! Remix)” is an extension of that type of sound. Remixing a classic, not sorry & Wild Boyz! do the original justice with a party-starter of a remix.
Kai Wachi – Vision EP
Boasting a UKF premiere right out of the gate, Kai Wachi has dropped a 2 track EP filled with forward-thinking bass beats that turn heads. “Vision” intros the unique bass style Kai Wachi is showcasing, while “Eminence” sums everything up with an anthemic element mixed together with an experimental / commercial bass crossover vibe. This EP will make your day.
Dusty Bits – Jump On Back
With their new track Dusty Bits seems to have literally jumped on back in time. Old school chords and classic beats soon mix with modern growls and effects, leading into a killer drop that shows just what break beat is all about. As the drop continues to progress it evolves, masterfully resolving back into the tune’s main chord progression.
B.R.E.E.D – Feels (Boltcutter Remix)
In his new remix Boltcutter sends us to space with lush pads and wonky alien sounds, before flipping the tune on it’s head with a unbelievably heavy drop that still maintains a level of conservatism. The song’s vocal samples act as great narration to guide the listener through the track./
PatrickReza – Choices
The chillstep/liquidstep master is back with an 8-bit synth that electrifies the track. With a marshmello reminiscend sound and adolescent vocals, it’ll have you bouncing.
