All hail Bassnectar! This pack kicks off with a collaborative remix I did with my good buddies TERRAVITA. We traded the files of “Upside Down” back and forth for a few months, and the final master that Seth did makes this one of the loudest, wildest drops to date!

Ever since they teased me a few weeks ago with the preview I’ve been craving this DADA LIFE track. As usual it has their signature Dada Life touch, with a heavy synth rhythm and a driving bass line that will keep your soul engaged and slice your eardrums wide open! Personally this is one of my favorite tracks from them to date. Anything this Swedish electro house duo touches is gold. One thing’s for sure; nobody does synths quite like the DADA. Besos!
