June begins with a burst of summertime sunshine and sizzling heat - temperature and tunes! On this week’s Hot & New playlist update, Audius presents a vibrant sonic selection for the season’s long days and adventurous nights.
Drum and bass cornerstone artist DJ Fresh unveils an Audius exclusive VIP! He takes his latest commercial release, “The Martians,” and tweaks it uniquely for Audius listeners. Dubbed “The Degens” for our platform, DJ Fresh alters the vocal sample he used, an AI generation of narrator Eric Conger reciting a sci-fi sample about an alien invasion; instead of aliens, it’s degenerate rave-goers prepping their finger guns for hours of dancing to DJ Fresh’s maddening breakbeats and otherworldly DnB. Released on the Breakbeats Kaos label, this track and its stems are available for download, making it ready for any party remixes or festival playlists!

From breakbeats to techno, duo Local Dialect shares their two-sided single release, “Hallucinations / In My Mind.” These melodic techno tracks invite listeners along for two different experiences. “Hallucinations” disorients the crowd with squiggly, indecipherable voices underneath the bouncy and galactic melody. As the song continues, the “Hallucinations” shift into quavering and sparkling synths. Then, “In My Mind” gently conjures a mist to obscure the shifting nebulous lights. This second track coasts, slowly breathing and morphing into a darker, more intense soundscape. Indeed, this two-sided single will hypnotize lovers of techno and trance!

Pack Records features Maya Randle once again as she releases the second single from her upcoming EP, composure. A collaboration with Milkz0121, “one more time” is a liquid funk-inspired drum and bass tune, an audio representation of longing. Maya Randle composes a peaceful, romantic environment with delicate vocal synths and deep, subtle bass growls. The first half is rife with yearning, and the rapped verses in the second half inspire a different, defiant state of mind. “one more time” leaves listeners wanting for something they can’t quite describe, proving Maya Randle’s impeccable ability to emulate complex feelings in their stunning production.
