Cardi B & DJ Khaled Team Up for 'Smurfs Movie Soundtrack' Cut 'Higher Love': Listen Fans Are Loving Lil Nas X's New Teaser for His 'Hotbox' Single Mochakk feat. The RAH Band, 'From the Stars' Brazil's jet-setting party starter makes his Ninja Tune debut with his From the Stars EP, a two-song project led by its title track. A collaboration with England's The RAH Band, the song is a take on the group's 1983 bop 'Messages From the Stars,' with Mochakk turning up the BPM and the far-out factor on the slinky, sexy but still muscular club update, which balances nicely with its cool after-hours B-side, 'Maria.' The mustachioed producer born Pedro Maia calls releasing the EP on Ninja Tune 'completely bananas… one of those stamp-of-approval moments' that he'll celebrate by playing a flurry of shows in his native country as Brazil celebrates carnival later this month. Closer to home, he plays EDC Las Vegas in May. Röyksopp feat. Robyn, 'Do It Again [True Electric]' 11 years after the release of the original, Röyksopp drop an edit of their Robyn collab 'Do It Again.' While the original leaned hard into urgency and flirted with heaviness, the new take adds maximum peak hours heft, dialing up the BPM, isolating the vocals in just the right moments and eventually exploding into all-out, all-encompassing dancefloor delirium. The edit is the second track from the Norwegian legends' tenth studio album, True Electric, coming April 11 on their own Dog Triumph label. Bianca Oblivion feat. Sam Binga, 'Hypnø' Los Angeles-based producer Bianca Oblivion makes her long-form debut with a heater of an EP, Net Werk. The four-track project spans bass, grime, Jersey club and more, with 'Hypnø' (a collab with British artist Sam Binga) fusing squelchy strings, a hectic beat and waves of low end into a delicious kind of chaos. Oblivion says she 'never wanted to rush into an EP or album until I fully understood myself as a producer and felt that my music could stand alongside the tracks I play in my sets.' The title reflects the global network of friends and collaborators I've connected with over the years, all of whom, alongside the many music influences from my childhood, have helped shape this release.' Net Werk is out on the U.K. imprint LuckyMe. Tripolism & Nandu, 'Sunrise' Danish trio Tripolism and producer Nandu link for the hypnotic 'Sunrise,' a track that says right there in the name what part of the set it should be played at. It's recently been rinsed by acts including the ever chic Keinemusik and has gotten support from other tastemakers, with key ears apparently in thrall with the track's balance of sunlight-like falsetto and a chant that implores what those of us still dancing at dawn might already feel: 'You're never going home, you've got to keep going.' The heater is out on Ultra Records. Hiver, 'Dreamachine' Be transported to the '90s afterhours of your mind with this electronica-era influenced dreamscape of a track from Milanese duo Hiver. Out on CircoLoco Records, the track pairs pristine production and clean, soaring strings with a feeling of undertow embodied by the beat and the emotive vocals. Hiver says the song is 'a testament to our growth as producers. We've invested countless hours in honing our studio skills, experimenting with sound design, and perfecting the production process to craft something that feels authentic and unique. The track reflects our love for the electro sound while pushing boundaries to create something unique.' Also: Do not sleep on the uptempo edit by Romanian master Gerd Janson.
