Dirt Monkey & DMVU – Dolphin Safe
This fresh new collab is a perfect example of high producers can draw influence from pretty much anything. With their strange sound design Dirt Monkey and DMVU perfectly recreate some dolphin sounds, and then they proceed to transform them into a weird trap bassline. This is the kind of track that bends people’s brains when dropped on the dance floor.
Dubloadz – Ghosts On Acid
Dubloadz tapped into his weirder side with this tune, which features captivating melodies, as well as out of this world sound design. The drop’s wonky and unpredictable bassline assaults the listener, creating a high energy track that will certainly stand apart from many of the dubstep tunes that come out this summer.
Trampa – Rocket Fuel
This atmospheric banger is the perfect song to hype people up with! The tune’s buildup is long and cinematic, filled with sirens and other tension building sound effects. By the time the drop hits the listener is completely engrossed, ready for the speaker shattering bass that is to follow. This is riddim done right people!
Noah Neiman – Hold On To Love ft. Laci Kay
“Hold On To Love” is a track with addicting vocals and a powerful drop. After getting mesmerized by Laci Kay’s soothing voice, you’ll be hit by a chorus with chopped vocals and a huge impact. This is one track that is sure to make a huge wave this summer!
Wells x Party Thieves – Realm
Moving on to the darker side is “Realm”, a track that will bring a refreshing feel to the hybrid scene. The trap legend Party Thieves teamed up with new producer Wells to deliver this haunting and hard hitting tune that will explode with energy on each and every drop. The sound design on this leaves a unique mark, helping it break through all the noise in the genre currently.
Wooli – Back
With his newest release Wooli joins the ranks of Circus Records, dropping a fresh and exciting new dubstep track. The buildup is pretty minimal, which makes the drop hit even harder when it comes in with it’s weird and metallic bassline. It’s amazing to see the growth that Wooli has made in the past year, because this is undoubtably one of the hardest hitting songs he’s ever released!
TC – Wasteman
DnB heavyweight TC is back again with an energetic banger oozing with hard hitting bass and hair raising sound effects. DnB fans will lose themselves in this track on the dance floor, reveling in the simple but monstrous bassline, which is paired with ultra punchy drums. We can’t wait to see this tune played out this summer.
Anakim – Dark Matter
On a bit of a more low-key note, we have the newest techno banger from Anakim. This tune is aptly named, because everything: the bassline, the upper synths, and even the drums, feel tainted with this dark energy. Everything comes together beautifully, creating a vibe that is infectious and filled with replay value.
Sagan & Boostereo – So Real
With a collaborative effort from Sagan & Boostereo, it’s hard to not expect a grooving tune that will be impossible to sit still to. This upbeat, jovial track will have you grooving to each kick that drives the melodic drop. “So Real” is one future house hit that will be making its rounds in plenty of house sets!
