To clear up any potential confusion for those who are lost, this is not Odd Future member Mike G. That said and aside, this Mike G is more than capable of living up to the chosen "dance" and "bass" tags. Booming out of Southern California, he's just had a remix come out on Hot N Heavyalongside Clicks & Whistles and held it down on a recent Freshmore podcast. His second release on Seattle-based Car Crash Set joins a roster of names like Cedaa, Mak & Pasteman,Gremino, Archie Pelago, Lokiboi, Distal – the list could go on but you get the point: it's all high quality, innovative artists. Check out the Boost EP now:

The original's air siren-esque intro gives little warning before unloading a dancefloor lethal salvo of bass and breaks. With a sledgehammering sound and a melody that is just too addictive, "Boost" feels right at home in the collection of any low-end fiend. "Damn" indeed.

Jersey Club extraordinaire DJ Sliink sets "Boost" to laser mode with a bold-faced drop and stark percussion that beautifully skips across the surface of the track. The UK's Admin takes a crack at a creeping refix that ominously and coolly drifts along before the grand finale from Melbourne'sBosstone. He transforms the original into a dramatic orchestral epic that's hard not to get emotionally invested in – this remix could easily be a film score.
