Kygo - Here For You ft. Ella Henderson
We've been on Kygo for a minute here. The fact there he's blowing up now, headlining festivals, starring on Apple commericals, and dropping new music every week is much deserved and more than expected for the 24 year old Norwegian producer. Probably his biggest single to date, "Here For You" features British phenom Ella Henderson; this is bound to push him to that next level of stardom. The fact that Kygo never sacrificed his style is astounding, the smooth tropical house and downtempo stylings are very refreshing and welcome with the saturation of EDM.

Duke Dumont - Ocean Drive (Alison Wonderland Remix)
Never saw this collaboration coming. 2 of my favorites, Duke Dumont and Alison Wonderland, come together for an unexpected remix of "Ocean Drive". The Aussie trap queen does her thing with Duke's 80's sounding house jam, she is able to keep most of the verses intact while transforming it into a building trap banger with blaring horns and 808's. Dopeness.
Adventure Club - Limitless ft. Delaney Jane
Yaaaaass!! New Adventure Club! Finally some new music from the Canadian duo, and one of my favorite artists, since their "Gold" EP. "Limitless" featuring Delaney Jane, follows the same AC blueprint that has made them so successful, great female vocal, melodic build, and monster dubstep drops.

Big Grams - Drum Machine ft. Skrillex
Big Boi + Phantogram = Big Grams + Skrillex!!!! Banger from the newest EDM hip hop group Big Grams called "Drum Machine"; they have a crazy chemistry and with Skrillex provided a bouncy bass heavy track this is bound to be a hit. Some trap, some jersey bounce, some hardstyle, just dope all around.

Machel Montano & Sean Paul - One Wine ft. Major Lazer
Apparently this song is about a year old but Mad Decent is just now promoting it or I just flat out missed it. Regardless this is a banger and I had to post it; "One Wine" is a monster collab from Machel Montano, Sean Paul, and the moombah kings Major Lazer. Can't wait to see Major Lazer next week at MDBP Chicago. I'm gonna lose my mind when they drop this!!
MNEK & Zara Larsson - Never Forget You
I've been on MNEK and Zara for awhile, they are killing it overseas with just solid music. When I saw this collab I was so excited for the two insane talents to come together. "Never Forget You" features the two in staccato style half time verses that help build to the poppy drop throughout the song. Just dope! I can't stop listening to it.
