In February, DJ Snake dropped an Indian or Middle Eastern-influenced single called “Magenta Riddim.” Unlike his recent releases, which have been radio friendly, “Magenta Riddim” is a club and festival track. It has become a favorite in the DJ community, topping DJcity’s Hot Box chart within days of its release. In terms of commercial success, the song is currently No. 26 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Now, a month after its release, there are plenty of remixes of “Magenta Riddim” to choose from. Here are our favorites so far:

A post shared by DJcity (@djcity) on

Refresh Cumbia Remix
The cumbia genre, which originated in Colombia, is gaining momentum.

Clips & Ahoy Remix
“Magenta Riddim” gets transformed into a trap track.

Jordan Crisp Hype Edit
A creative edit that samples Sean Paul‘s 2003 crossover hit, “Like Glue.”

Greg Lassierra Twerk Remix
Though it has twerk in its title, Lassierra’s version also has a moombahton drop.

Lumberjack Remix
A tribal house rework, a style that’s differentiated by its drum sounds and patterns.

After going viral thanks to an online dance challenge, DJ Kass‘ anthem “Scooby Doo Pa Pa” has received an official visual. The track is essentially a reggaeton flip of Big Shaq’s own viral anthem, “Man’s Not Hot.”

Since its release in January, “Scooby Doo Pa Pa” has received thousands of videos from fans and 34 million Spotify streams. (It’s currently No. 9 on Billboard’s Top Latin Songs chart.) Now, with an official visual, the track has the potential to gain even more traction. Will it be the next Latin crossover hit?
