Sidney Samson – Chase The Trap [Preview]
Dutch trap?! It seems like there is no end to the amount of DJ’s hopping on the trap bandwagon but no complaints here! This time its Sidney Samson who samples The Prodigy’s “Out of Space” and mixes it into a BANGING dutch infused trap drop. Then comes another sample in Jay-Z’s “Lucifer” and the second killer drop. He dropped this one at UMF and we simply cannot wait for this to be released. More info as we get it but kudos to Sidney Samson for putting out this fresh new tune.

Just when we thought the hype was all over, Afrojack takes on PSY’s notorious “Gangnam Style” and gives it his signature dutch twist. We didn’t know until recently that Diplo would also be taking a stab at it and your boy absolutely killed it. A long with a special appearance by 2 Chainz and Tyga, Diplo delivers a fresh trap remix and actually makes the track enjoyable. Check it out on BeatPort and let me know which of these Gangnam Style remixes you prefer.

Sidney Samson – Move [Release]
Although he has been quite as of late, Sidney Samson certainly has a knack for creating tremendous drops with absurd amounts of bass. The Dutchmen does not disappoint with “Move”, as the initial beat has a similar sound to his banger in “Get Low”, and then sure enough you are hit with that hard hitting drop. It’s safe to say Samson will showcase this track throughout WMC, and perhaps his fellow JACKED brethren will help spread the word. Grab this track on BeatPort via RockTheHouze and enjoy!

Wolfgang Gartner – Anaconda [Release]
New release and the first in 2013 for Wolfgang Gartner, arguably our favorite American DJ. Following up on his latest release “Evil Lurks” , this new release brings more of an energetic feel with those vintage Wolfgang electro and dutch like synths. I remember Joey opening with “Anaconda” at Electric Zoo 2012 and it completely electrified the crowd. Hearing it again only brings back good memories and we are very thankful for this incredible release via Ultra. Check this tune out on BeatPort and enjoy!
Sidney Samson – Get Low (Kennedy Jones Trap Remix) [Release]
Any fan of trap is well quite familiar with our boy Kennedy Jones. After releasing a killer trap remix to “Suavemente” via Borgore’s Buygore All-Stars EP, KJ is back with another massive tune. This time its to Sidney Samson’s “Get Low.” With two killer drops, this one is a no brainer for any fan of the genre. Check out his Facebook page for this free download and enjoy!
