3) Myrne
Myrne is one of the most talented and underrated producers in the game right now. This young Singapore-based producer immersed himself in the music production side of the industry nearly two years ago and used his nine years of intensive classical training to his advantage. This tribal juggernaut of a remix flips Pegboard Nerds’ ‘Hero’ into a exquisite soundscape filled with complex and euphoric progressions that boast his melodic emphasis.

4) Defreakz
Defreakz is comprised of two Maastricht University students who began producing approximately two years ago. They started performing a school parties and have gradually taken their duo project to a more professional level. Thanks to their extensive background in music, their percussion, saxophone and guitar experience are beginning to pay off.

5) Artec and Triarchy
Artec and Triarchy teamed up for this seamless edit that takes on a light progressive house approach. Although Artec began his music career after graduating from Boston University last year, he has already performed at legendary venues including Webster Hall in New York City and Mansion in Miami. Triarchy’s resume consists of bountiful support from house heavyweights Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Benny Benassi and more. With plenty of success up their sleeves and surely more to come, the two acts successfully collaborate on this excellent track.

6) KICK
Caleb Ely, better known as KICK, is a producer from the small town Bloomington, Indiana. His main inspiration is his mother who, by the age of 23, had earned a gold and platinum record. At 21 years old, Caleb dropped out of college to pursue his music career and moved to New York City. Although it being a risky career move, Caleb clearly has his mind focused on simply good music. This pure original is as chill as it gets from the soft piano melody and morning vocals to the light percussion.
