by: Austin Evenson Sep 7, 2016

The DA Hot 25 is the definitive playlist series running through dance music culture and hand-delivering you with the essential tracks of the week. Whether it’s the hottest or quickest trending tracks, brand new music from your favorite artists, or songs from the unknown that should be landing on your radar, Dancing Astronaut brings you 25 carefully selected records that reflect what’s happening in our world.

Check out this week’s playlist featuring Getter, Oliver Heldens, and BIG MAKK; as well as electrifying house selections from Two Friends, Chris Lorenzo, and LVNDSCAPE; and all-star collaborations from Steve Aoki & Blink-182, Zedd & Grey, and Snails & Pegboard Nerds. Additionally, we’ve provided our picks from within The DA Hot 25, highlighting two standout tracks.

The Heat of the Week: BIG MAKK – Beachside

In honor of the tragic loss of Orlando-based talent BIG MAKK, The Heat of the Week comes from his mixtape, The Makk Tape, that his management has posthumously released. “Beachside” is on the softer side of the EP, but perfectly exemplifies BIG MAKK’s love for heavy kicks and wobbly synths.

The Breakout Select: Zedd & Grey – Adrenaline

Although his recent releases have been more pop-directed, Zedd gives fans a blast from his past with his new electro/bass house single, “Adrenaline,” with the assistance of Grey.
