While some music is based in trends, much more music stands the test of time and becomes immortalized among records. Other tracks and albums transport us back in time with nostalgia or fast forward to a high-tech future. This week’s Hot & New playlist invites listeners on a sonic journey across time and memories!
Audius joins forces with Bite This!, Jauz’s own imprint, and welcomes the label to our platform with our latest remix contest! In this spotlight stands Albert Breaker with “Ella Dice (ft. KiNG RO),” a salacious and percussive tech house track with heavy Latin influence.

Another exciting Audius debut comes from Dazzle Camouflage, a brand new dance music project from the indie minds of band members from Slenderbodies and Night Cap. The group’s name, Dazzle Camouflage, comes from an early 1900’s naval strategy of painting ships to disorient enemy forces regarding the speed and course of the camouflaged ship as a result of the intersecting lines of paint. As illustrated in the bands logo and sound, Dazzle Camouflage is the unexpected intersection of the dreamy Slenderbodies sound with the reminiscent vibe of Night Cap. Together as Dazzle Camouflage, this collaboration explodes onto the scene as joy-inducing sentimental dance music just in time for summer!

Maintaining this nostalgic mood, Lvl. 13 Ice Wizard presents “Opening Demon Doors,” another beat in their signature sound. Riding the line between lo-fi beats and medieval video game music, Lvl. 13 Ice Wizard creates magic in Lumbridge as well as in the DAW. In spite of the tension-inducing name, “Opening Demon Doors” creates a sense of mystical peace with its gentle flute melody and strums from the acoustic guitar. Lvl. 13 Ice Wizard consistently portrays the calm found in lo-fi beats and fantasy games all while expertly upholding his mysterious and mischievous persona.

Returning from a more than 6 year hiatus, producer AIRWAV unleashes the Rebirth EP. Aptly named, these four tracks prove that AIRWAV never took their finger off the pulse of electronic music trends. While Rebirth still contains kaleidoscopic synth chords, AIRWAV adopts a very wave-heavy sound. Lush technicolor elements slowly shift and morph together in these celestial soundscapes. Audius warmly welcomes AIRWAV to our platform, knowing that the Rebirth EP will attract plenty of new fans from across genres!

Producer Eklo re-enters the Audius spotlight, attracting brand new attention to his hit “Runaways (ft. JordinLaine)” as well as his most recent release, “Sunrise (Let You Go).” After taking several months away from production and socials, fans new and old embrace these shimmering emotional tracks. Eklo’s music induces wanderlust, encouraging listeners to become nomadic, go on adventures, and embrace the untamed natural beauty beyond the cities.
