October always promises amazing music. From haunted electronic music to high-energy indie rock, there’s plenty of tunes to enchance different party vibes. Audius presents some of our favorite uploads this Halloween season from our Hot & New playlists!
House production duo Disclosure delivers excellence once again with “Arachnids.” Presenting us with an extended mix, listeners can immerse themselves in this curious cavernous track. A sharp bassline goes hand-in-hand with staccato hi-hats, creating a foundation for shimmering synthesizers and sprinkles of distortion. “Arachnids” amalgamates characteristics from across house music: a hypnotic beat, elements that organically breathe into one another, maddening acid flourishes. Indeed, all of Disclosure’s music corrals the crowd and keeps them dancing; “Arachnids” is no different!

Producer Broz Rodriguez remixes a track from fellow XDM artists, the band cnvs (pronounced ‘canvas.’) “Batallas,” originally presented as a pop rock inspired by the sounds of Arctic Monkeys, Broz Rodriguez transforms it into a rave-ready progressive house beat. Incorporating plenty of the original vocals, this remix adds mystical synths and a driving bassline. This house remix of “Batallas” brings together an unexpected matchup of genres, certain to harken to fans of both!

Tutara Peak lights a fire in our hearts with “Sports.” Opening with ambient trickling sounds, this instrumental quickly transitions to upbeat, playful indie rock. A very brief drum buildup is the only warning listeners get before “Sports” explodes into a jubilant and twinkling chorus. This entire track is decorated with occasional crowd cheers, adding to the infinitely energizing feeling. Tutara Peak always inspires strong emotions in their music, and “Sports” in particular brings about feelings of unstoppable joy.
