The true essence of electronic music where madness and frenzy intertwine.
Born from the collaboration between French DJ Snake and American artist Lil Jon, this track marks the arrival of an overwhelming party anthem.
After its release in December 2013, it reached No.
4 on the U.S.
Billboard charts and sold over 8 million copies.
Fusing heavy bass beats with energetic shouts, this piece embodies a rebellious spirit that asks: why does the party have to end? Its powerful sound was widely acclaimed across various media, featuring in the film Furious 7 and in a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial.
It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to go full throttle on adrenaline—whether for training, hyping up before a game, or igniting a party scene.

This is a soul-stirring hip-hop track by American artist DMX, resonating with powerful beats and a heavy bassline.
Released in December 2002, the song is filled with strength and confidence, expressing a determination to stay true to one’s beliefs and face adversity head-on.

Dessert ft. SilentóDawin48rank/position

Right now, this is the hottest, most exciting track in the trance-style club music that’s exploding across countries, starting with the United States.
It’s a song about feelings for a girl you like, sweet like a “dessert,” and once you hear it, you’ll 100% be hooked—no question about it.
Love AgainDua Lipa49rank/position

Dua Lipa’s classic, “Love Again.” When people think of Dua Lipa, many picture a stylish sound rooted in house music.
This track, however, differs from the house style that’s become her signature, instead delivering a nostalgic pop piece that evokes the late 1970s.
The prominent bass combined with Dua Lipa’s lower register will have you feeling totally energized!
