DJ Susan‘s Hood Politics Records is thinking outside the genre with their latest compilation, Dubstep Forever. Contrary to what newcomers to the taste-making imprint may be led to think after reading that title, Hood Politics Records is more closely associated with smooth grooves than aggressive headbanging. However, they’re now taking a trip to the dark side by outfitting some of the world’s most popular dubstep tracks for the club dancefloor. Hood Politics Susan himself kickstarts the imaginative effort alongside Broken Future with a fresh spin on Zomboy’s “Like a Bitch.” The blistering basslines tear through the sonic spectrum with furious barks in this instant party-starter.

If the latest compilation from Do Not Duplicate Recordings is any indication, the label’s commitment to authenticity is as strong as ever. Helmed by BIJOU, the imprint has dropped Unlocked Vol. 8, a record comprising eight songs that reimagine the rave. CASHEW, Collelo, Control Room and more contribute stunning house tracks, all of which represent the latest display of prowess by the G-House star’s flagship imprint.

“Hey, yo, what’s your sign?” ask South Floridian duo Rich DietZ on their latest bass house anthem, “Free Ur Mind.” Out July 1st via Azueron Select, the track is right in line with the party-patented sound of previous works like “White Claw Song” and “Jedi Sh!t,” which call on cheeky lyrics and wonky sound design to pump power through the speakers. “Free Ur Mind” combines hypnotically filtered vocals, spine-tingling percussion and an eerie melodic tone to fill out its own late-night feel. Dark and dirty bass beats break throughout to carry the energy from start to finish. “We wrote this record almost two years ago and we are hyped to share it now more than ever,” wrote Rich DietZ on social media. ̶...

2021 is almost over, but with a tandem as prolific as Rich DietZ, every day is curtain time. This year, the promising house music duo have released new music with the furious pace of the Energizer Bunny.

This time around, Rich DietZ have turned the clock back to 2006 to rework Cassie’s steamy R&B hit “Me & You.” The remix is anthemic in nature, dialing up the BPM of the original and transforming it from a bedroom baby-maker to a certified club jam. Rich DietZ were shrewd in their decision to keep the song’s distinctive keys intact, a move that pays homage to Cassie. While the remix is certainly a showcase of Ri...
