NGHTMRE performing at Avalon’s Control Fridays in Hollywood, California. (Oh Dag Yo)
NGHTMRE’s new single “Street” is one of the biggest trap songs of the year so far. Released last week, the track has already amassed over 400,000 plays and received support from Skrillex, Flosstradamus, and RL Grime. We’ve personally seen NGHTMRE drop it twice in the last month, first during a live stream at Mixify’s headquarters and then for his Los Angeles debut at Control. The crowd went wild each time.
With “Street” gaining momentum, NGHTMRE has shared a masterclass that he taught at the University of California, San Diego in April. Included in the two-hour video is a section on how he produced the single, which at the time was unreleased. It begins at the 58:40 mark.
