Chase B, a DJ and producer from Houston, Texas, has helped create worldwide live excitement as Travis Scott’s right-hand man.

As a key figure supporting Cactus Jack, he’s also built a solid track record on the production side.

In December 2025, he released a new track, “Satellite,” featuring his labelmates Don Toliver and SoFaygo.

As the title suggests, it’s a trap tune where floaty, space-drifting synths intertwine with sweet, mellow melodies.

Perfect for nighttime drives, its cool, crystalline texture pairs with lyrics that capture a deft, push-and-pull sense of distance.

It’s a polished soundscape that whets the appetite for his next project.

NinaJirachi is a producer and DJ based in Australia who’s been turning heads with her distinctive electro sound.

She describes her music as “girl EDM,” and her pop-leaning yet eerie production has already earned her a large following.

Teaming up with London-based DJ Effy, she’s dropped CSIRAC (Effy Remix), a bold evolution that transforms a track from her August 2025 album I Love My Computer into a harder, darker club cut.

The sharp percussion and heavyweight bassline hit hard, delivering a groove that makes you move without thinking.

A buzzy release that was even used in the Primavera Sound Porto 2026 lineup announcement—perfect for nights when you want to dance until dawn.

Rimzee – Lonely Nights Part 2 (Visualizer)- ft Tiny Boost & Matt Lansky

Rimzee, a storyteller of the UK rap scene’s “road rap,” has earned strong support.

He’s a London-born rapper who overcame the gap left by time served in prison and steadily built a track record through his own unique path.

His single released in December 2025, “Lonely Nights Part 2 (ft Tiny Boost & Matt Lansky),” brings in Tiny Boost and Matt Lansky.

Revisiting the theme he explored on an album track earlier that summer, the song is crafted as a tribute to those who keep fighting through loneliness and hardship.

The words traded by the three over a heavyweight beat carry an urgency that seems to make the cold night air tremble.

It’s recommended for moments when you need to steel yourself against adversity, or when you want to sink into a quiet night and listen closely.

One standout track is “Such A Funny Way.” Initially included only on the physical edition and keeping fans on edge, it was finally released on streaming on December 24, 2025—Christmas Eve.
