If you have ever had a chance to talk to any artist that has played or is going to play Electric Forest, they talk about it with such a sense of reverie. It’s not just a magical place for attendees, but for performers as well. It’s a whole different kind of energy that permeates through the entire festival and is contagious from every single soul. It’s a beautiful feeling that I have not been able to replicate no matter how many festivals I go to.

Genre-defying duo M42 just dropped “Gimme That Dirty,” and it’s every bit as filthy as the name suggests. John Anthony DeJoria and Joey Francis (aka Bad Nonno) are in peak form here, fusing breakneck drum & bass percussion with a pounding techno backbone and warped vocals that demand your full attention. As you’ll hear below, the track is raw in all the right ways: distorted textures, heavy low end, and a pace that feels engineered for warehouse mayhem.

LISTEN: Modestep Drops Explosive Single “Bodybag” and Announces First Album in a Decade

1 month ago | runthetrap.com | Hunter Thompson

With “Bodybag,” Modestep kick off their Give Up The Ghost album era in full throttle. It’s a track that digs deep into their roots while dragging their sound into darker, heavier territory — less polished, more punishing, and refreshingly unbothered by genre boundaries. The first half hits like a warped love letter to early dubstep and 80s synth grit — thick with distorted leads, reverb-soaked snares, and a weighty, driving low-end.

If that wasn’t enough, the second drop hits even harder, and is almost guaranteed to make you want to run through a wall.
