Coachella drew millions of eyes this weekend, inspiring massive FOMO and appreciation for music in everyone. This week, Audius teleports listeners to their own dancefloor with this week’s Hot & New playlist update, rife with delectable electronica!
GANZ continues displaying his affinity for genre defiance in his production with a UK garage hit, “Won’t Forget U.” Dropping through GANZ’s brand new imprint, yLewis Records, “Won’t Forget U” is also the exciting collaboration between him and JSaamena, GANZ’s latest alias and project. “Won’t Forget U” is a glistening garage tune, creating a pastel bounce utilizing impeccable textures. This track commands a strong presence with its minimal structure that fills speakers lusciously. Indeed, “Won’t Forget U” is a celebration of GANZ himself - production abilities, multiple paths of thought, and carving his own path in electronic music.

One of trap’s favorite record labels, FUXWITHIT, returns with another heater from PRYZMS, “OG.” True to the track title and sound, “OG” harkens back to the Team Supreme style of West Coast trap and bass, the seeds and roots for the immense growth that both genres experienced over the last 10 years. PRYZMS emphasizes sound design and simple composition in “OG” that still packs an addictive, danceable punch. Ghostly grit and clean staccato merge, reminiscent of Great Dane. PRYZMS nods to the past, present, and future of trap in “OG,” reminding listeners that the sound never truly dissipated.
