LA-based production wizard, Hoodboi, introduces a new smoother, sonic identity with “Glide” in conjunction with Tkay Maidza. Piano-smashing duo, The Him, add a dancier, more energetic touch to Kygo‘s “Kids In Love” in their shimmering new remix.

Additionally, we’ve provided our top picks from within The DA Hot 25, highlighting two standout tracks.

The Heat of the Week: The Chainsmokers – You Owe Me

The Chainsmokers boldly introduced their post-Memories Do Not Open.. sound with “Sick Boy” earlier this year that steared their project more in the pop direction with a punk twist. Their follow-up piece, “You Owe Me,” continues to boast an emo tinge, however, the drop towards the end of the track is reminiscent of the duo’s past indie-electronic sound.

The Breakout Select: SUMR CAMP – Drop

Originally making their debut with an official remix of Marshmello’s “Silence,” SUMR CAMP continues to open a window into the mystery producer’s sound with “Drop,” a grinding, hypnotic house tune.
