This Week on coldplaysucks — May 18-24
Read more . . . →28 tracks went up last week and the queue decided this was Indie Electronic Week. 7 of them. MRD had a one-man remix festival (4 entries). And out of nowhere, a Syrian dabke track snuck in and ate the whole thing. Track of the Week Omar Souleyman - Allishiryan This is the surprise.

Armin van Buuren & Glockenbach - Sun Shines On Me (Rising Star Remix) [Live @ EDC Las Vegas 2026]
