Out now on Afrojack’s Wall Recordings, this is a must-add to any playlist looking to bring some unreal vibes.

Featuring vocals that are both uplifting and inspiring, this is a tune that is perfect for the main stage as it brings those infectious vibes that we just simply can’t get enough of. Take a listen below and tell us if you’ll be making some “New Memories” in the comments!

Recently released over on SubSoul via an EP from Adibanti (aka Rory Nelson), “Silky” brings both the sexy appeal of RnB rhythms, the swooning vocals of a soft male voice, and the beauty of House grooves to an infectious sound. While the track sticks to its tropes for the most part, expect a twist at the 2:15 mark in the track. I don’t want to spoil how neat the flip here is, so I’ll leave you to explore. Love the creative use of artistry in this one.

TWO OWLS & MICAH MARTIN shine brightly on tune “Dying Young”.

Adrien Rux, Bedmar, David Tuck, & Kuaigon collab on “Set Me Free”.

A deep, progressive house tune that will rock you to the core, “Set Me Free” will unleash anything you have bottled up inside you. All four artists who worked on the tune in collaboration come from the new wave of talent in Spain, giving the already musically-rich region some fresh faces bringing more unique sounds.

Out now on Steve Angello’s SIZE Records, “Set Me Free” is sure to get plenty of play by artists looking for an atmospheric track to include in their sets. The vocal sample alone leaves a lasting impression, but from start to finish this infectious tune is one to add to your collection today.

On this one as Giuseppe explores a road less traveled culminating in a musical experience that shines a light on his incredible diversity in the studio.

Crystalize gives Eric Prydz’s classic track “Call On Me” a feel good remix!

I have been absolutely loving everything Crystalize has put out lately, and this track is no different! Eric Prydz’s “Call On Me” is a beloved track for many – the uplifting vocals and awesome beat never fails to put a smile on my face. Crystalize took the iconic vocals of the original and gave it a beautiful melodic bass drop, creating a truly euphoric feel.

Crystalize is definitely a rising artist to watch; his diverse style ranging from extremely bass heavy to more light and happy in tracks such as this one. He’s released track after track in these past months, make sure to give his remix of Virtual Self’s “Eon Break” and his flip of RL Grime’s “Core” a listen as well!

Balkan Bump’s “Irfan” brings an upbeat instrumental that’s an instant classic!

Balkan Bump is a project created by trumpet player and producer Will Magid. Based out of Oakland, CA, Magid is an ethnomusicologist who has been gathering inspiration for his music all over the world.

“Irfan” is the first track off his upcoming EP and as its name suggests it is focused on music from the Balkans. Brass bands reign supreme in the region and Will’s talents on the trumpet lend themselves well to the style steeped in tradition. His blend of drums and brass sounds are energetic and will have you dancing in no time.
