THUMP helps you get through Hump Day with a round-up of the hottest singles of the week. This week features new tunes from Wheez-ie, DJ Technics, Jubilee, and more.
Wheez-ie – “Deadbolt” [Fool’s Gold]
Watch out how loud you bump this new single. I think Wheez-ie might have hit the poop note somewhere around the three-minute mark.—Max Pearl (@maxpearl)

Cloudface – “Reduction” [Black Opal]
Opal Tapes has really been understanding my vibe recently. Cute bleep bloop melodies, teensy lil claps—it’s like I’m living in a baby’s dream, and I love it. —Elissa Stolman
DJ Technics – “Girlfriend” [Bootleg]
While all of us were be-bopping around the festivals this weekend, Baltimore’s DJ Technics has been uploading all those records we couldn’t find back in the day. Coming from Atlanta Inoj was the summer anthem, when I first heard this flip in a Rod Lee mix was like \O/ – Now we can all has.—Joel Fowler (@freemagic)
Jubilee – “JMZ Riddim” [Mixpak]
I’ve heard rumors that Jubilee can sometimes be found slinking around the VICE office. I’ve still never seen her, but hey girl, this track is all kinds of dope. Dancehall and reggaeton and Brooklyn? It’s everything this native New Yawkah ever wanted. Train rides will never be the same.—Lauren Schwartzberg (@LaurSchwar)
Audialist “Gone” [Deep Heads]
You know when a 2:30 minute preview succeeds at sucking your entire soul into a wormhole of melodic hypnosis, that you probably have a pretty good track on your hands. This latest lullaby jam from Audialist, an artist I know absolutely nothing about, is warm and gentle enough to put a newborn baby to sleep, but also complex enough to satisfy the older heads. Or should I say, the deeeep heads.—David Garber (@DLGarber)
Kove – “Liberator” [MTA]
In honor of Kove being a pleasant surprise on the EDC line-up, here’s a brand new jungle riddim from the man himself. The cool thing about Kove is that he’s as equally as capable of churning out crossover-ready acid house vocal anthems as he is making low-end heaters like this one. Check out the warble on that sub. —Jemayel Khawaja (@Jemayelk)
Audiofreq – “Warcry” [HARDwithSTYLE]
It’s climbing in your windows. It’s snatching your people up. Hardstyle is coming to America. Hide your kids, hide your wife. —Michelle Lhooq (@michellelhooq)
No Artificial Colours – “Matilda” [PMR]
While I love a dirty ditty as much as the next head, NAC keep it clean on this wordless slice of sunny day atmosphere. You said you like house? Prove it and get on down. —Zel McCarthy (@zelmccarthy)
