With summer blooms vibrant greens, lush flowers, and bright blue skies! A vivid spectrum of colors and emotions should come with a playlist to match. This week’s Hot & new playlist holds music from across genres, including hip-hop, tech house, and wave!
Burgeoning rap trio Wild East Radio makes their Audius debut, sharing their latest single “S!CK.” An explosive debut indeed, this track features a nonchalant beat in tandem with strong and independence-driven lyrics. The members of Wild East Radio flow about how they’re “S!CK” of the nonsense - fake, fickle, and two-faced people, among other things. Even though the lyrical content implies a fed-up attitude, the instrumental is almost cheery and neighborly, feeling fit for a walk around on a sunny day. This contrast harkens to the deep history of New York’s hip-hop scene, solidifying Wild East Radio as a group to keep our eyes and ears on!

DJ S.K.T, in a hilarious yes fiery bit, remixed a TikTok video in a tech house contender for the summer! Credited to @girl_on_couch on TikTok and titled “Man In Finance,” the bouncing bass and the addictive, driving four-on-the-floor inspires even the most serious techno elitist to dance. Rife with different lasers and disorienting sound design, DJ S.K.T found the intersection of silly samples and seriously good dance music; an intersection so iconic of all corners of the dance music scene, yet difficult to master. This “Man In Finance” remix will undoubtedly set the mainstage aflame this summer!

Another Audius debut comes from Neddie, who presents their remix of “Chroma.” In the original version of “Chroma,” Paper Skies and Nasko explore the beauty in melodic dubstep. Neddie took this another step and explored the relationship between melodic dubstep and future bass. Both sparkling and mechanical, Neddie’s remix of “Chroma” travels rapidly down a kaleidoscopic tunnel. Indeed, Neddie sparkles prismatically in their Audius debut, attracting San Holo and bitbird fans!

Spoken Bird’s latest track, “Worlds Collide,” is offered to listeners by the wave connoisseurs at vibe.digital. Weaving together the emotional sentimentality of wave with the flowing nature of psychedelic bass music, Spoken Bird illustrates celestial tragedy and beauty. “Worlds Collide” glows and morphs like an interstellar nebulous body.

Codaclef dives into the curious, the nostalgic, and the playful in “Cartridge.” The experimental, almost random melody contains a jazzy swing, adding to the silly, vintage video game nature of the tune. An array of gentle samples pop delicately like iridescent bubbles. Simple yet sweet, “Cartridge” will brighten any moment!
