Coming off strong after their first Coachella performance in the Heineken Dome, Dzeko and Torres have unleashed “Down To This,” a collaborative effort with hard-hitting Dutchman Chuckie. Premiered during David Guetta’s Ultra Music Festival set, the track has seen support ranging from Hardwell to W&W drawing testament to its wide appeal. Hampering characteristic drops coupled with big room bass the track takes the term ‘anthem’ to an entirely new level.

Holy hell. Eerie, Indiana native Figure, just took a hatchet to Chuckie, MRK1, and Doctor’s “Mek Money,” stapling and glueing the track back together into freakish dubstep meets trap masterpiece. Figure‘s “horrorcore” sound pulses through the entire production with blaring sirens, monlithic horn blasts and syncopated 808s that uppercut the mix in a barrage of thunderous percussion and gritty bass. Initially developing with a trap foundation, Figure lets the track build before taking it down darker alleyways, delivering a speedy dubstep breakdown designed to redline a mixer and contort the dancefloor. This is monster music.
Ultra Music Festival is officially over but its 6-day run was full of unforgettable surprises and guest appearances. One such unexpected collaboration came when Dutch phenom, Chuckie, invited Slash — ex Guns N’ Roses guitarist — and label mate Betatraxx to premiere their new track live on stage. “Rocktronica” is a unique fusion of rock and electronic music unlike anything they’ve released as individual artists and Chuckie hopes that the collaboration will act as catalyst for the emergence of a new sound. Incorporation of live instruments (outside the live stage) emerged as a festival theme this year and we’re excited to see how the trend develops. The track, which has been in the works since last summer, is now available for mass consumption as a free download.

Dance music veteran Laidback Luke officially released “Pogo” last month, giving fans an electro house beat with an infectious vocal hook from MC Majestic. A fitting name for the bouncy beat, “Pogo” is a combination of Laidback Luke’s dirty Dutch roots and Majestic’s grime-style vocals creating a hard-hitting production with mass appeal. Fellow Dutch house champion Chuckie gives the track an entirely new feel, allowing Majestic’s lyrics to take center stage. Incorporating a Latin-flavored drum line with cascading synths, Chuckie forms a remake ready for the main stage. The remix package also includes works from Congorock, Deorro and H.P Vince.
