Amtrac - Madness To Mayhem
This deep vocal track is nice. It’s soothing, it’s got peaceful melodies, rhythm and synths. But the last 2 minutes of this song blow me away. It reminds me of an outtake of a track from Disasterpeace’s soundtrack on Hyper Light Drifter. (Check out our full review of the game here).

Holy Ghost! - I Will Come Back (Drop The Lime Remix)
I don’t really know much about Drop The Lime. I know he was peaking around 2010, 2011 by the looks of his facebook, but it seems his career is somewhat defunct at this point. If you want to undoubtedly surprise your crowd with some absolute tech bliss, look no further than this remix of Holy Ghost!’s ‘I Will Come Back”.
What you’ll get: A tribal-tech beat with some sub-bass, ripping vocals with some reverb and an overall “chune”. This next part might be dissapointing… I unfortunetly have no idea where you’ll be able to purchase or even download this song. It streams on Spotify – you can’t even find it on YouTube. It’s all very peculiar. Anyway, enjoy and good luck DJ’s 😄
