You may not know it, but producer Jim-E Stack and Bon Iver have worked together before, with Jim-E contributing to Bon Iver’s 2020 single, “PDLIF“. I’m glad to hear them back at it with a new collaboration—an upbeat and poppy song called “Jeanie”. These guys obviously have great chemistry and I’d love to hear more collabs down the road.
Lil Tecca – Selection feat. Skrillex & DJ Scheme
I don’t know who Lil Tecca is yet but I saw the name Skrillex and had to listen. “Selection” is catchy as hell, with easy vocals delivered overtop a casual beat. It’s nothing mind-blowing but it’s still a good one–especially considering everyone involved.

Kid Cudi – Memories Ft. Travis Scott & Quavo (Dawg Remix)
Dawg took a little break but he’s back with “Memories” – a reworking of Kid Cudi‘s song with additional adlibs for flavor. It’s got a good bounce and it satisfies that trap beat thirst. Check it out below and follow Dawg on Soundcloud here.
The Knocks & MUNA – Bodies (Tycho Remix)
Prepare your mind for a gorgeous new remix from the one and only, Tycho. The supremely talented producer puts his chilled touch on this one in a big way – transforming The Knocks‘ “Bodies” into a hypnotizing pop groove. I liked the original but I love this remix.
Daktyl – To Be Alone With You
Daktyl just doesn’t miss. The English producer follows up his semi-recent album, Unreality, with a gorgeous new tune called “To Be Alone With You.” It’s the first single off his upcoming EP Sangria and it has definitely gotten my attention. There aren’t many artists making high level instrumental electronic music like this anymore.
Tony Velour – EURO PLUG (feat. Dylan Brady)
Tony Velour and Dylan Brady join forces for “EURO PLUG” – an electrifying jam that really gets the people going. It’s high energy from the jump, with sharp synths and a supremely catchy chorus. Check it out below along with a little bonus: Rico Nasty‘s “iPhone”, also produced by Dylan Brady.
Slow Magic – Somewhere (feat. Woven In Hiatus)
I’m glad Slow Magic has returned. The enigmatic, mask-wearing producer has been a favorite of mine for many many years. “Somewhere” is the first track on his phenomenal new EP, Closer 2 U, and it takes me back in time.
Ta-Ku & Panama – Cruel
The new collab from Ta-Ku and Panama is a suuuper smooth groove. There’s a lot of classic instrumentation in “Cruel” – sweeping strings and acoustic piano are backed by a snappy beat, with vocals that set up a sultry vibe. It’s excellent late night music.
Kito, ZHU, & Jeremih – Follow
This song came outta nowhere and it’s the perfect summer jam. Producer Kito teams up with heavyweights ZHU and Jeremih to craft a bright and bouncy dance tune that’s undeniably catchy. The speedy house beat and warm synths coast alongside Jeremih’s vocals, which are always top notch. If you’re looking for an upbeat tune to get you moving, look no further than “Follow.”
Silva – Freeze
Love this new freshness from Perth, Australia based producer Silva. This is an artist who’s in a lane of his own—his style doesn’t sound like anything else out right now. His latest offering, “Freeze,” starts smoothly and evolves into a serious banger, complete with a high-octane drop that’ll blow your hair back. I can’t get enough of it.
