No one can answer the “Is it a banger?” question better than a booked-up DJ on the frontlines, road-testing new releases on the regular. At the end of each month, we’re tapping a handful of selectors to find out which records have been popping off the most in their sets. These are the hottest jams according to some of our dopest DJ friends. Take it from them; they know what they’re talking about.

Hayden James “Just a Lover”
I’ve been friends with Hayden since the beginning, and this is just another awesome house track by Hayden.
ZelooperZ “Elevators”
I met ZelooperZ when he was on tour with Danny Brown. I think the beat to this track is really interesting; you don’t really hear much like this in the hip-hop world.
Boys Noize ft. Hudson Mohawke & Spank Rock “Birthday”
I am a massive fan of all three of these guys and I think this is a great collab
Mr. Carmack “Pay for What” (Alexander Lewis Trombone Flip)
This has been a staple in my set for a while, especially the live trombones part—super cool.
The Avalanches “Subways”
Such a fan of the Avalanches, been waiting for new music for 10 years. Stoked it is finally out.
