It's hard to tell whether a highly anticipated release will be worth the hype surrounding it, but we'll go on the record and say that Disclosure have exceeded my expectations with "Omen." The duo teaming up with UK superstar Sam Smith for the first time since their 2013 pop crossover mega-hit "Latch" turned so many heads that I had to write about it twice, but this song gets it right in so many ways that I'd be willing to cover a remix series or two as well just to sing its praises.

No conversation about future bass and contemporary midtempo is complete without mention of Sydney, Australia-based Flume, which makes the impending release of his follow-up album all the more anticipated.

Amid one of the more bizarre scares to hit social media in recents months the timing may not have been ideal for Dash Berlin to drop such a high-profile remix, because when it comes down to it it's not all that memorable in the first place. The trance trio has tried their hand at Martin Garrix and Usher's "Don't Look Down" - several months too late and with little to stimulate the imagination.
