Jakatta – American Dream (PROFF Interpretation)
Genre: Organic House
It’s unreal that we can officially say this. But the remix is finally out. Following a hotly anticipated premiere on Anjunadeep 15 — and an even hotlierly-anticipated debut on his 2023 Anjunadeep Explorations Albania set —, PROFF‘s “Interpretation” of Jakatta‘s ‘American Dream‘ finally saw the light of day, offering a noble perspective on the iconic original track.
The result is a vibrant and danceable track that captures the essence of the original while adding a unique and contemporary twist. The track’s reflective breathing spaces provide a welcome contrast to the energetic dancefloor-ready sections, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the music’s emotional depth.
Santiablo – X
Genre: Progressive House, Melodic Techno
Santiago, also known as Santiablo, a Bronx-based music producer, has been shaking up the New York music scene with his sound, for close to ten years. His music, characterised by infectious rhythms and soulful melodies, has earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting and influential producers of his generation.
His latest release is simply titled ‘X‘. The track is a powerful blend of Progressive House influences, nearly bordering Melodic Techno. It’s an energetic record that plays with mysterious and tense progressions over a solid bed of arpeggiated melody, and the end result is quite tailored for the more packed moments on the dancefloor.
Seth Schwarz & Lydgen (as ARTEMIDES) – Matter of Time (Stars Align)
Genre: Organic House
Great news comes to you today from the generous world of the Deeper House family, as the Electronic duo ARTEMIDES, consisting of Seth Schwarz and Lydgen, has finally released their much-awaited single ‘Matter of Time (Stars Align)‘. This is arguably their most requested ID ever, as the track became one of the unofficial anthems of last year’s Burning Man, jumping from DJ to DJ, and quickly spreading across USBs on the playa like wildfire.
The track is an Organic House masterpiece. It’s not only iconically beautiful — a characteristic so core to ARTEMIDES’ sound —, but it’s also quite catchy. So, one way or another, it’s got the formula for success. It’s a laid-back piece that, to be frank, at times wants to make you tear up. The warm pads and the chords portray emotion from all angles.
Rebūke – Along Came Polly (Konstantin Sibold, ZAC, CARMEE Remix)
Genre: Melodic Techno
Rebūke‘s 2018 hit ‘Along Came Polly‘ is back, reimagined for a new era. This track, originally a favorite among underground DJs, made waves with its infectious riff and relentless beat. Now, it returns with fresh energy, thanks to a collaboration between Konstantin Sibold, ZAC, and CARMEE.
Since 2022, this remix has been in heavy rotation, creating buzz among fans. After two years, it’s finally available for everyone. This reimagined ‘Along Came Polly’ is set to dominate 2024 playlists, continuing Rebūke’s legacy and captivating new listeners.
Diplo & Mau P feat. Gunna – Receipts
Genre: Tech House
Diplo and international house sensation Mau P have delivered a collaborative new single, ‘Receipts’, featuring acclaimed rapper Gunna. The genre-defying track harnesses the essence of each artist’s individual style, delivering a new sound uniquely in a category of its own.
The result of several sessions preparing for their B2B set at Coachella earlier this year, ‘Receipts’ signalled the onset of an authentic personal and creative partnership for Diplo and Mau P. The pair first unleashed the track during the four-hour performance, marking not only Mau P’s Coachella debut and the duo’s first back-to-back but also the first time the collaborators met in person. ‘Receipts’ has since become a fixture in both artists’ individual sets around the world.
Kasablanca – Breathe
Genre: Techno, Melodic Techno
Prepare to be blown away by the Kasablanca boys’ sensational official cover of The Prodigy’s timeless 1996 hit, ‘Breathe’. Hitting the music scene in the late ’90s, ‘Breathe’ quickly climbed the charts and attained 2x platinum status. It solidifies its position as one of dance music’s most iconic tracks.
The remix captivates listeners with its atmospheric and immersive experience. It features ambient textures, spacious soundscapes, and evolving buildups that breathe new life into the track. It made its debut in 2023 during Kasablanca’s electrifying set at the Group Therapy Weekender at The Gorge Amphitheater, stunning the audience with a vibrant and dynamic rendition of ‘Breathe.’
