Major Lazer feat. Wild Belle – b2gether (Mija Remix)
Major Lazer's collaboration with Wild Belle, "Be Together" provides a balladic foil to their massively popular "Lean On." Slow, sultry, and pointed with wistful lyrics, the original track manages to be soft without being sappy. Mija's remix increases the track's energy, but doesn't lose its solemnity.
Keys N Krates – Dum Dee Dum (NGHTMRE Remix) [Free Download]
2015 has been a good year for LA-based trap producer NGHTMRE. Spurred along by a slew of successful Slander partnerships, NGHTMRE's near-meteoric ascent was solidified when Skrillex opened his 2015 Ultra Miami set with his then-unidentified but extremely hyped original track "Street." Since lifting the veil to "Street" last month, NGHTMRE has become established as one of the rare producers who can successfully tow the line between being dark, distinctive, and danceable in his production.

Since producers Benzi and eSentrik refer to their musical partnership as TWRK, it's no surprise that the majority of their musical catalogue centers around lighthearted but heavy hitting mid-tempo trap. For their latest release, they've teamed up with twerk up-and-comer Lambo to deliver something a bit different from their standard fare.
AYO ALEX – I.M.T.B.M.B (Original Mix)

For his latest release, "I.M.T.B.M.B," AYO ALEX returns to his most well-practiced style - G-house.
Tony Quattro enlists homeless vocalist for ‘My House’
"My House" recalls characteristics of early tech house. Minimal synthesis, meets danceable but complex rhythms to culminate in an effortlessly motile musical flow. Amidst clanging percussive fills and smooth trumpet-laden breaks, we hear the vocals of Showtime Willy. Tony Quattro's process in finding his vocalist is an uniquely interesting story.
