The collection plays like a perfectly programmed club night. “Britney” (with Dances) and the Martin Ikin collab “4U” (already a Beatport #1) set the tone with festival-tested muscle. The new additions prove equally lethal: “Ca

Surging bass music producer YDG has released "Echo," a grimy showcase of his production skills. Using no shortage of bass to scratch every itch in our brains, the track alternates between haunting vocals and grating saws, both of which fittingly echo through the arrangement to breathe life into its title.

When you combine Subtronics' heavy dubstep and Alison Wonderland's spellbinding soundscapes, the result is an instant classic, "No One Does It Like."

Later on, they flip the drop sequence on its head with a dark and seamless blend of both producers' styles. Out now via Cyclops Recordings, the track doesn't mark t
