Prior to taking the stage for his solo performance at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, Ozuna let slip that he has another major collab with DJ Snake in the works. Given the meteoric success of 2019’s “Taki Taki,” a bilingual reggaeton-dance crossover track by Snake featuring Ozuna, Selena Gomez and Cardi B, perhaps it’s no surprise Ozuna and Snake have plans to recreate the magic. Today “Taki Taki” sits at a staggering 1.2 billion streams on Spotify alone. Their forthcoming collaboration, dubbed “La Funka,” isn’t short on star power. Chart-topping rapper Megan Thee Stallion and K-pop supergroup BLACKPINK are joining the effort, Ozuna said. The track will mark the second appearance on a dance music record for bo...
After first announcing his ambassadorship nearly three years ago, DJ Snake is dropping a fresh spin on luxury watchmaker Hublot’s flagship “Big Bang” model. The stunning timepiece is emblazoned with a kaleidoscopic splash of colors that has the effect of changing the perception of the hues depending on the level of light and the angle from the viewer’s vantage point. As Forbes notes, the complexity of the process effectively results in no two watches being exactly the same in terms of color scheme, which adds an extra layer of singularity to the product. In total, only 100 units of the watch will be made. DJ Snake has always projected himself as a man of refined taste, and this luxury product spares no expense when it comes to the details. This is best encapsulated ...
DJ Snake is a gift that keeps on giving. Amid a monster year full of chart-topping hits, Vegas residencies, and lavish lifestyle collabs, he simply refuses to take his foot of the gas. Snake’s latest venture is a massive joint track with Rick Ross and Rich Brian, which was produced for Marvel’s upcoming film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. “Run It” is a heart-racing banger fit for the suspenseful action sequences of a tentpole Marvel film. Snake mutates into a chameleon here, flexing his versatility and genre-fluidity by producing a hip-hop and midtempo hybrid. Rich Brian kicks things off with a verse in his breakneck flow as Snake builds the composition into its blood-pumping drop. It’s here where his French roots ooze through the arrange...
This afternoon, fans of DJ Snake were told that something massive was on the horizon when he tweeted at Marvel, only adding a cryptic “pair of eyes” emoji.

DJ Snake‘s return to the stage to kickstart his 2021 U.S. tour highlighted just how much his cachet has grown since we saw him last. Immediately prior to the onset of the pandemic, February 2020, DJ Snake wrapped the biggest show of his career at the Paris La Défense Arena, performing in front of 40,000 people. It was an iconic moment, but no one could have expected the glacial freeze in momentum the music industry at large would sustain a mere month later. As we’re entering the other side nearly 16 months later, artists are beginning to reconnect with their audiences again—some more successfully than others. For DJ Snake, however, the start of the Chicago leg of his tour was met with a particularly warm welcome. It was a statement-making night for Snake at Ch...
