I first encountered Branchez in 2013, when he made me fall in love with a Rihanna track. Since then he’s continued to impress with stellar reworks for What So Not and Wet, plus one of the hottest originals of 2014 (‘Truth’). Today, the NY producer is back with another one that guaranteed to leave your brain blown. ‘Cuenta’ packs everything from verbal gun shots,…

The last time NIGHTOWLS connected with Sam F they brought us the after hours anthem ‘Nap In The Club’. Continuing in the fun yet viscous vibe comes their latest collab, a rework of Lil Dicky’s ‘Lemme Freak’. As Dicky seduces listeners with pizza, a little bit of weed and the features of his fridge, the beat creates an air of anticipation. Looped vocals…

Brilly Twonka aka Yung Brillionaire aka Netflix and Brill aka Brillz is back with something massive. Geekin is a four track offering that’s guaranteed to appease the bass gods (and heads!). The title track kicks it off with a true trap feel. Knockin 808’s, an abundance of bass, sinister horns and Que as ignorant as ever all combine and culminate…

Lido is currently one of the best producers in electronic music, period. The volume, consistency and quality of his releases have made this an undebatable fact.

His new joint EP with Santell is…

So when the two come together for a song it’s only fitting that those attributes are magnified exponentially.

Just seeing Diplo and LIZ come together for ‘Set Me Free’ already looks like a win. Diplo seems like he can hardly miss these days and LIZ’s vocals never disappoint. The track opens with LIZ providing festival ready, albeit poppy vocals that are sure to draw you in. Diplo hits with a first drop that’s aggressive and trappy but proves to only be…

The last time Yogi and Pusha T got together they crafted one of the biggest anthems of the year in ‘Burial’. Considering the track’s immense success and Pusha’s recent love for electronic music, a follow-up was only a matter time. That time has come with the release of ‘Siri’. Following a similar vibe to their first release, the track blends hip-hop swagger…

Our favourite breakout French producers of 2015, Malaa, is back with another dancefloor rattler in ‘H+M’. Leveraging a nostalgic vocal sample, the track professes his love for the varied genres of house music. Celebrating everything from acid and tech, to minimal and jack. The vocals provide and anthematic feel while Malaa laces the beat with dirty deep bass and pounding…

Baauer has had a relatively quiet year. Aside from the Songs From Scratch collab with Fetty Wap, the Trap Kingpin hasn’t made much noise in terms of releases. Spending the bulk of his time in the studio it seems that Harry has decided it’s time to resurface. Last week he warmed things up with an exclusive mix for Triple J and…
