Considering the 48-hour timeframe and the electrifying production, it seems the virtuosic duo were especially inspired for their latest house music masterstroke. They completely transformed the dubstep banger, dropping a tech house nuke with the quirky yet explosive sound they’ve delivered time and again. Rich DietZ managed to harness the acid-fueled leads of GRiZ and Subtronics’ original and interlace them with a chunky bassline, reimagining the festival anthem for the clubs.

Two formidable electronic music duos have collided for a remix of epic proportions. Where It’s ATT and Rich DietZ may produce different styles of dance music, but with the same flavor of grit and badassery, they’re kindred spirits. And their respective artistries have now collided with Rich DietZ’s remix of “Thunder,” a down-and-dirty house jam for the clubs. The original “Thunder” is a swaggy midtempo number that fuses dark bass elements with Where It’s ATT’s unique hip-hop flair. Conventions be damned, Rich DietZ decided to dial up the track’s BPM and flip the arrangement on its head, dropping a typically infectious tech house anthem.

Rich DietZ are back—but this time with an exciting new look. Known for their unique twist on house music, the duo have eschewed their signature sound, teaming up with dubstep producer Poya for a brand new banger called “Empire.” “Empire” is a slight departure, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive. The thunderous single is as authoritative as its title suggests, a post-summer trap anthem that moonlights as a celebration of the long-awaited return of music festivals. The track’s mirthful lyrics invite listeners to simply let loose—and to break necks, of course. After a typically head-bopping hip-hop section, wherein Rich DietZ spit hedonistic verses over a smooth beat, “Empire” builds into something more menacing. Ev...

The arrangement is in half-time here, making for a hypnotic, trap-inspired doozy of a v...

Rich DietZ continues their relentless release schedule with a brand new offering titled “Tech No Malfunction.” The unstoppable duo is known for churning out infectious dance behemoths of the tech house nature, and this latest single follows suit. Prepare to be transported to a dark warehouse where the party has no intention of stopping. “Tech No Malfunction” kicks off strong from its inception, with a steady bassline and ominous synths that lend to a sonic atmosphere of tension.
