Afrojack & Luis Fonsi release "Wave Your Flag"

Afrojack & Luis Fonsi send a message of love to the world with “Wave Your Flag”

The superstar DJ/producer and record-breaking latin pop icon come together on an uplifting new anthem and video shot across Mexico’s beautiful landscapes to spread a message of acceptance and love.

At a time when every headline in the media seems to tell another tale of violence, religious warfare and cultural intolerance, European Border Breakers Award winner and superstar DJ/Producer Afrojack and Grammy winner and Billboard artist of the decade Luis Fonsi have joined forces in a historic collaboration to send out a message of love, acceptance, tolerance and cultural pride. Coming from two widely diverse cultural and musical backgrounds, friends and international megastars Afrojack and Luis Fonsi have captured a unique blend of sounds in this upbeat, feel-good pop gem.

The message delivered by these two multi-platinum artists is strong as Luis Fonsi's iconic voice belts out: "I'm color blind, color blind to the whole world, all I see is love."

Accompanied by an uplifting video shot across stunning scenery from Mexico's Monterrey, Mexico City, Mérida and Riviera Maya, the track aims to remind listeners that love and acceptance conquers all when we choose to believe in ourselves and open our hearts to others.

Croatian Beatsmith Matroda Unveils "Ghetto Funk"

In a fierce blend of bass house and breaks Croatian beatsmith Matroda delivers the sinister "Ghetto Funk," using eerie synth plucks and wicked wobbles to deliver a behemoth of a Dim Mak debut. The single has already seen support from Tiesto, Oliver Heldens, David Guetta, and more.

Matroda’s well-rounded sound pulls from his classical training across the violin, drums, and keyboard. In 2015, he kicked off his career by partnering with Chris Lake on an official remix of SNBRN’s “California”. It proved to be a stellar debut, quickly reaching the #2 spot on Beatport’s main chart and #1 on the house chart.

Since then, Matroda has steadily become an artist to watch. His 2016 bass-house hit “Chronic,” on Spinnin’ Records, garnered wide A-list support including Avicii, Diplo, Laidback Luke, and RL Grime, who dropped it during his 2016 Coachella set. 2017 is looking to be an even bigger year for Matroda, as he’s coming off a brand new Dustycloud collaboration “Come Back” and an infectious VIP Edit of Migos’ “Bad and Boujee.” The VIP skyrocked to #1 on Soundcloud’s House Chart and Billboard cited it as one of the “5 Best ‘Bad and Boujee’” remixes.

JOYRYDE unleashes bass-heavy OWSLA single I WARE HOUSE

In the midst of his three-month headlining North American tour, bass purveyor JOYRYDE brings the heat with his new OWSLA release “I WARE HOUSE.”

The bombastic number kicks off with high-pitched sirens alarming and chopped up grime vocals before launching into an aggressive, synth-heavy hook flanked by acidic bass womps and wobbles. JOYRYDE initially achieved success by putting out free releases which caught the eyes of Skrillex’s imprint OWSLA, and this is now his third massive release on the label.

The official “I WARE HOUSE” video, set in an IRL warehouse, also dropped today with footage shot by Brandon Parker, LaineKelly and edits by JOYRYDE himself. Smoke bombs and eerie, dark vibes pair perfectly with the track, as the visuals focus on a girl dancing on a car.

Taiki Nulight, SMLE, and MERCE Remix Max Styler and Colt Matthews' "Heartache"

Building on the buzzing momentum of Max Styler's debut album Heartache, Dim Mak recruits SMLE, MERCE, and Taiki Nulight for three scintillating remixes of the record's title track. Electronic duo SMLE goes the future bass route, lacing bright pads under Colt Matthews' dreamy vocals while MERCE follows suit, adding a radiant cinematic touch with soaring orchestral synths. Flexing his signature dark UKG sound, Brighton's Taiki Nulight brilliantly dunks the original into a bass house batter to close out the package with a bang.

2016 saw Max Styler transform from a budding producer to a full-fledged recording artist. After dropping multiple originals on Dim Mak throughout the year, such as “Fly” “Skyline” and “Show U How (feat. KARRA),” Styler turned his studio prowess up to 100 for his debut album Heartache. The record received praises from LA Weekly, Dancing Astronaut, and Insomniac, who lauded the title song as "a languid cut that’s dripping with sultry soul.” Heading full steam into 2017, Max is continuing his trajectory of success. In just under 3 weeks, his new Dirty Audio collaboration “Roller Coaster” (on Monstercat) has already amassed 650K+ collective online streams.

Providing Max three brand new reworkings are Dim Mak affiliates SMLE, MERCE, and Taiki Nulight. With several #1 Hype Machine tracks including edits of T-Pain’s “Buy You a Drink” and Alicia Keys’ “You Don’t Know My Name,” SMLE’s ability to craft infectious remixes has put them on the map as ones to watch in 2017. Joining them on the package is the sinister Taiki Nulight, who released his underground-leaning Sledge EP last year. Rounding out the release is rising Finnish producer MERCE. After releasing his rework of Watch The Duck’s “Making Luv to the Beat,” which racked up over 1M plays on soundcloud, MERCE was called on for official remix duties of R3LL & HVNS’ “All 2 U (feat. Kiff).” The stunning trap VIP has racked up close to 3M YouTube views on Trap Nation.
