This week's crate is built around contrast rather than five versions of the same record: OMNOM's dark offbeat pressure, an emotional late-set bridge from Joshwa, a 132 BPM tension builder from Riordan and Locky, JAMØ's fakeout-heavy left turn and a Chris Lorenzo re-rub that can brighten the entire room.
How to use the list
Listen for the job each record can do. Pressure locks the room into something darker; If Its Real creates an emotional bridge without losing the groove; Friction raises the tempo and earns its payoff through a major breakdown; atmosphere disrupts expectation; and Acceptable in the 80's gives a DJ a shared nostalgia moment. Vote for the one you would reach for first—not simply the biggest name.
