Amserterdam’s own The Flexcian comes to us on a stellar collaboration with Major Lazer to produce “Watch Out For This,” a moombahton banger that brings together reggae island influences and dirty Dutch bass.

Two new hard-hitting tunes by Dim Mak superstar duo Showtek have caught our attention.

Oliver Twizt & Angger Dimas “XXX” Teaser
What do you get when you combine hardcore electro with real dirty Dutch? Dangerous music for mature ears only.

Des McMahon “Welcome To The Jungle” EP
Philadelphia-based Des Machons is one of the most recent additions to the Play Me family, and one of the most promising we might add. The up-and-comer brings the heat up front and full-force in his Welcome To the Jungle EP. Frenetic leads build dramatically only to fall away into eerie waves of down-tempo atmospheric bass. [...]
