Migos - Hannah Montana (Borgore And Protohype Remix)

Borgore & Protohype join forces to forge together a track that is complete madness.  Remixing "Hannah Montana" by Migos, calling this track filthy would be an understatement.  When artists with a sound as big as these two team up, you know you're in for a wild ride.  We can say for sure that this is a tune we need to hear at a show because it can never be played loud enough.  According to Protohype's Soundcloud, this will be a free download on the new Buygore Allstars Compilation, which we are anxiously awaiting!

Release: Datsik - Light The Fuse (Terravita Remix)

When it comes to going hard, Terravita will almost always do everything in their power to blow a hole in your speakers.  Another release from Dim Mak today, the bass trio finds a way to take Datsik's already filthy track to another level.  It seems peculiar that they are the ones creating a dubstep version of a Datsik tune, but you won't really care once you give it a listen.  We weren't prepared for how hard this hits you in the face but can't say we don't love it.  Even though he dropped it a while ago, we included the original version because we just felt like listening to it again.

Release: Deorro & D.O.D - Play

We posted about Deorro on Sunday night but this collaboration with D.O.D is just too impressive to pass up.  "Play" is out today on Dim Mak, and they create a fury of electro chaos that was meant to get crowds moving.  Also worth noting is the B-Side from Deorro entitled "Crank It Up", that once again showcases the command he has over his sound.  Unfortunately we only have the Beatport preview of the latter so grab your copy to hear the whole thing!

Release: Sander van Doorn - Neon

Sander van Doorn's collaboration with DubVision a few months back for "Into The Light" is a track that still hasn't lost popularity.  Released today on his Doorn Records imprint, "Neon" is a track poised for the same kind of success.  The experienced Dutch producer shows his prowess in the realm of progressive house with a track that grabs you from the start and doesn't let go.  This is a tune that's perfect for driving (or any other occasion), but more importantly, it's one you don't want to miss.  Check out the video and the full song below!

Deorro - Five Hours

It's Sunday night, let's end the weekend right.  Deorro consistently puts out solid tracks and this is one that's sure to find its way inside your head.  Currently without a release date, "Five Hours" is a song we'll have to be satisfied with on Soundcloud for now.  This track is more chill than some of his other songs, but it stays true to usual electro, vocal chop style.

Weekend Liftoff

It's Friday and it's time for some more free tracks for the weekend.  Our free pick for this week comes from the up-and-comer heRobust and the tune hits HARD.  You may have heard your fair share of "We No Speak Americano" remixes but we assure you this one is better.  The young Atlanta native flexes his trap muscles (no pun intended) and repackages it so well you'll wonder why the other remixes came up this short.  Breathing life back into the song we're sure you've heard hundreds of times, take a step back from your subs and get ready for a trap remix at its finest.

DJ Derb - Derb [Derbus] (Spaveech Remix)

If there's one thing Spaveech continually manages to accomplish, it's outdoing himself with each track he puts out.  The New Jersey native returns with a remix of the classic trance track from Derb and furnishes the tune into a festival-worthy banger.  Drawing from his previous strengths, the young producer takes the anthemic potential of the original and supplies a brutal amount of bass and rhythm to fashion together his strongest track yet.  As always, you can download the track for free from his Facebook page so go grab it!

Anything Diplo puts his name on is sure to catch our attention and this collaboration is one that should catch yours.  Teaming up with Mike Posner, Boaz Van De Beatz, & Riff Raff was more than enough to yield a banger.  The vocal contribution from Posner carries the song until you're punched in the face by the filthy behemoth of a drop.  The Mad Decent mastermind just hit a million followers on twitter, which perfectly suits the name of the track.  Best of all it's free, so make sure you download it below!

Paris & Simo's collaboration with 3LAU & Bright Lights last month for their track "Escape" churned out a house track we still have on heavy rotation around here.  Their newest release "Chaa", which dropped yesterday on Strictly Rhythm, gives you everything you could want from a progressive track.  Uplifting chords and fast paced percussion lead you into the rage-worthy drop that will surely get your blood pumping.  If there's one thing we can be sure if, it's that this young Canadian duo has hit their stride and will clearly be dishing out many more hits as time goes on.

Sunday Funday

The newest single from Shapes of Light showcases what the young producers are capable of and it's exciting to know they're just getting started.  They have already garnered support from Porter Robinson, The M Machine, & Gregori Klosman to name a few and are sure to be getting far more support as time goes on.  From the extremely melodic leads to the greasy pulsing drops in "Laika", it's easy to see why these guys are on a roll.  We're really excited to see what the futures holds for the duo but check out their other tracks to hold you over for now!

SYNTH Exclusive Artist Interview: STARKILLERS

Nick Terranova, better known as Starkillers is no stranger to success in the EDM arena. Having demonstrated his knack for putting on a great live performance and superior production talent through absolutely stellar tracks like "Pressure," "Let the Love," and "Rampage," his ascension to the top of dance music will surely continue to impress fans worldwide. That being said, we here at SYNTH sat down with this star of EDM to find out more about who Starkillers really is:

SYNTH: Thanks so much for taking the time to answer some questions for us. We heard the preview for your new track "Ride" and can't wait for the full release. How would you rank this among your previous tracks? 

STARKILLERS: This track is a big step for me, its a new sound and a development of my sound and I feel something fresh from what is out there now, I try to be a step ahead in this fast moving scene, I hope the fans love this record as much as I do. 

SYNTH: Awesome, we can't wait to get our hands on it when it releases! Now you've obviously played tons of live sets, but is there any set that sticks out in your mind as the best gig you've ever played? 

STARKILLERS: Spinnin' Sessions in Miami was a great gig for me this year, it was so great to play with many other great artists, I was lucky to really get the party going, it was so much fun! 

SYNTH: Miami and Spinnin' is a winning combination for sure. On that note, what's the most ridiculous thing that has happened to you on stage? 

STARKILLERS: I've had girls throw their underwear at me once, that was crazy! 

SYNTH: That is pretty crazy for sure! What would you be doing if EDM didn't exist? 

STARKILLERS: I would still be working in music, I used to make TV commercials a very long time ago, music has always been in me, I think I would work in film if EDM wasn't around, working in film has been something I'd like to try, I have a side passion for photography and cinematography. 

SYNTH: Are there any artists in particular you're really into right now? 

STARKILLERS: Sander Van Doorn is one of my favorites, and I'm loving what Dannic is doing right now, he is one to watch and of course my man Dmitry KO! 

SYNTH: All three of those artists are very popular here at SYNTH as well! We've read that you work closely with Dmitry KO during production, how did that partnership begin? 

STARKILLERS: We met when I was living in Vegas and instantly connected, I love working with him in the studio, he is super talented and we bounce off each other, he is one to look out for definitely. 

SYNTH: That must be awesome to have someone to rely on 100% in the studio. We know you made an album with Avicii a few years back, do you plan on collaborating with Tim again in the future? 

STARKILLERS: No I don't think so, that was sometime ago when we made that album, Tim is a great producer and I'm pleased for his success. 

SYNTH: What's your favorite thing to do when you're not making music? 

STARKILLERS: Movies, gym, you know the usual stuff. To be honest working in the music business is 24/7 so I'm always thinking about music and ideas 

SYNTH: It is absolutely an all consuming profession that doesn't leave much time for anything else. You've had big releases on Doorn Records, Spinnin' and Hysteria to name a few, what other big label releases do you have planned for the near future? Any exciting collaborations? 

STARKILLERS: My next release is on doorn, it's called "Ride" and is out on the 15th of July, I have a follow up single with Nadia Ali im working on, and I just started something with Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano. There are lots of great things going on, hopefully by the end of the year i can have the album pulled together too!

SYNTH: Wow sounds like you've been a busy guy! We are definitely looking forward to those new singles and your full length album! Thanks so much for your time and keep making awesome music!

Release: Dannic - Ignite

Dannic is at it again and we love it!  The Dutch producer still has that spark and he couldn't have picked a more appropriate title.  After we recovered from the excitement of "Viper" a few months ago we knew there was going to be plenty more bass heavy electro coming our way.  Released today on Toolroom Records comes his newest single "Ignite" and it has everything we crave.  Soaring synths, brutal bass, and a drop that makes your hair stand straight up, chalk it up as another success for this rising star.
