MOTi – Ride Wit Me

For millions, the phrase “If you want to go and take a ride with me…” immediately conjures up images of St. Louis rapper Nelly and the iconic, sun-drenched hip-hop anthem from 2000. MOTi’s version pays perfect homage by centering that recognizable vocal hook, but the journey it takes you on is distinctly different.

MOTi transports the track from the dusty streets of St. Louis to the neon-lit club main stage. The core of the song is the driving, rhythmic energy of Slap House, a subgenre that dominates the current dance music landscape.

Ice Spice – Think You The Shit (Odd Mob Remix)

Odd Mob’s signature sound is gritty, groovy, and unapologetically bass-heavy, sitting comfortably in the Tech House and Bass House crossover lane. “think u” is a perfect encapsulation of his style.

Ty Dolla $ign – TWITCH (feat. 2 Chainz & Tyga)

Ty $ign anchors the track, effortlessly blending singing and rapping as he handles the main verses and, crucially, delivers the incredibly smooth, addictive hook. His performance here is a perfect showcase of his versatility, easily transitioning between the polished R&B singer and the sharp-tongued rapper.

Migos – STRAIGHTENIN (M?STIC x finneh Remix)

The production duo of M?STIC and finneh (Young Finneh) have taken the hard-hitting original and completely transformed its sonic landscape. They don’t just tweak the drums; they rebuild the entire foundation, swapping out the familiar Atlanta trap thump for something darker, faster, and undeniably infectious.

Skrillex, Missy Elliott & Mr. Oizo – RATATA (LUSSO & RION Remix)

When three giants like Skrillex, Missy Elliott, and Mr. Oizo join forces, you know the result is going to be something explosive. Their collaboration, “RATATA,” is an undeniable banger—a frenetic, genre-bending track that perfectly blends the worlds of bass music, hip-hop, and avant-garde electro.

But what happens when you hand a track of that magnitude over to a fresh set of producers? You get a masterclass in re-imagination. Enter LUSSO & RION, the production duo who have taken the iconic original and completely flipped the script, delivering a remix that transforms the tune from a bass-heavy stomper into a relentless Tech House groove.

Hamdi – Nightmares (feat. Issey Cross)

For months, the SoundCloud preview of “Nightmares” was a staple in DJ sets and a teasing snippet of bass music perfection. Now, the full track from UK producer Hamdi and vocalist Issey Cross has officially dropped on Atlantic Records, and it’s everything fans hoped for: a masterful fusion of dark energy and pop sensibility.

If you thought Hamdi’s signature blend of grime, UKG, and dubstep couldn’t get any bigger, “Nightmares” proves otherwise. This is a track built for main stages, blending the producer’s deep, aggressive bassline roots with a striking, radio-ready vocal performance from Issey Cross.
