Dillon Francis, Allenora, America Foster - RIDDEM
Read more . . . →Dillon Francis doing a trap-influenced track on Monstercat is exactly as chaotic as you’d expect, and that’s not a complaint. “RIDDEM” leans hard into that dirty, bouncy energy that made him famous in the first place — the kind of bass pressure that physically relocates your organs. Allenora and America Foster bring vocals that keep it from being a pure instrumental banger, and the combination actually works better than you’d think going in. The vocal layering in the hook is relentless; you won’t get it out of your head and you’re going to be slightly annoyed about it. Francis has...

Viperactive, NGHTMRE - Earthquake
Read more . . . →NGHTMRE and heavy trap go together the way old friends do — you know what you’re getting and it’s still satisfying every time. Earthquake doesn’t try to reinvent anything and that’s kind of why it works. Viperactive brings something slightly harder and more mechanical to their side of the collaboration that gives the whole thing an edge NGHTMRE doesn’t always have on his own. The drop is immediate and unforgiving and that’s the point. There’s no slow build here that tricks you into expecting something different — this track announces what it is in the first thirty seconds and then...

Kaizen - Wreker Cauze
Read more . . . →Trap Nation find. Kaizen with a track that sounds like its title — deliberately misspelled, deliberately heavy, probably intentionally annoying to people who only listen to deep house. The intentional-damage energy is real. Buy / stream this track → More like this KLAXX, yetep - STARLIGHT (feat. Aviella) SPAG - TREP SPYR - NO MANS LAND

KLAXX, yetep - STARLIGHT (feat. Aviella)
Read more . . . →KLAXX and yetep teaming up again, and this time they’ve roped in Aviella, which turns out to be the move. These two already have form together with “Runaway,” another Aviella feature, so this isn’t a one-off experiment so much as a trio that figured out they work and decided to run it back. Good call. Her voice is the whole engine of “STARLIGHT.” It floats clean and bright through the intro, and then when the drop lands it’s her vocal getting chopped and twisted into the melody itself rather than just sitting on top of the beat. That’s the trick...
