Apashe — “Catch Me”
Canadian producer, composer, and artist Apashe has unleashed his masterful new album, Antagonist. With an inimitable fusion of electronic, orchestral, hip-hop, and alternative, the producer presents 14 tracks steeped in dynamics and drama.
It’s an insane composition of music, fusing symphonic orchestral work by Prague Philharmonic and Brussels Symphony with a rotating cast of vocalists and collaborators, including Busta Rhymes, EARTHGANG, Geoffrey, and Flux Pavilion. The second track on the collection, “Catch Me” stirs up your insides with frenzied symphonic composition, searing bass, and drops of anthemic house that truly set the tone for the rest of the album.

NITTI, Hadar Adora — “Looking 4 Me”
Dive into the dynamic realm of NITTI’s latest musical masterpiece, “Looking 4 Me.” This Latin Grammy-winning artist, known for his versatility and iconic collaborations, delivers an unforgettable drum & bass experience in this track released via Tiësto’s Musical Freedom Records.
The song, featuring the soulful vocals of Hadar Adora, starts with a retro-sounding synth that seamlessly blends with Adora’s compelling lyrics.
