Welcome to Episode 24 of Beyond the Beats! Thanks for tuning in for your weekly dose of electronic music news and culture. This week, we cover two new releases from two prior Artists We're Watching: Skrybe and Uknew. Skrybe stuns again with his insane cinematic style production and Uknew continues his hot streak by adding another house banger to his resume that'll make you want to move your feet. We also cover new music Illenium .x The Chainsmokers, Rezz, Hot Since 82, Above & Beyond x Seven Lions, and W&W x 3 Are Legend. Delving into the world of EDM, we FINALLY put the Ultra Miami fiasco to bed by discussing their return to Bayfront Park. Also, we dive into Seismic Dance Event, the Numark Scratch, DJ Snake b2b Malaa at Hard Summer, and a new documentary on BBC Four about the history of acid house! A special shoutout to the Artists We're Watching this week: RemK and Banza. RemK is an up and coming trap producer - who experiments with house - from California. His shit is fire! Coming in from Europe, Banza is an incredibly talented bass house/house DJ from Serbia. These two have bright futures. PUT THEM ON YOUR RADAR. Lastly, as always, THANK YOU for tuning in.
