A new collaboration between DJ Snake and The Weeknd could be on the horizon. According to a report by Sada El-Balad, the two artists are set to appear on a forthcoming album by iconic Algerian singer Khaled. While details of the album are scarce, sources say the tracklist will feature 12 songs. Pouring gasoline on the rumor of a collaboration with the Grammy Award-winning R&B and pop superstar, DJ Snake retweeted a post from a fan, who wrote, “If only [DJ Snake] and [The Weeknd] could announce a collab.” Considering the innumerable number of Twitter mentions he receives from his 1.6 million-plus followers on the platform, the fact that he chose to share this specific post is emblematic of an impending announcement. The retweet could also be a red herring, but taki...
Earlier in the month of August, French compatriots DJ Snake and Malaa joined forces for “Best of Both Worlds,” a collaborative livestreamed DJ set. To no surprise, the tandem threw down, playing out a slew of their own originals as well as a number of unreleased tracks that had their fanbases clamoring to identify them. One of those IDs has now seen the light of day, thanks to the serendipitous release of Malaa’s remix of Snake’s thunderous hybrid trap tune “Trust Nobody.” Malaa takes his patented sound and twists a knife into it, delivering a more ominous take on his penchant for G-House. He produces nasty bass patches in the drop, which run roughshod through a thicket of saturated kicks and menacing percussive patterns. Malaa also decided to go haywire...
DJ Snake sent shockwaves through the world when he dropped “Trust Nobody” in his hometown at Paris La Défense Arena, igniting a massive “wall of death” for the largest single-day EDM event in European history. The organized chaos of the mosh-pit echoed the high-octane energy of his hardest release to date. He’s now passing over the remix baton to fellow Frenchman Habstrakt, who somehow made it into even more of a behemoth. When an artist like Habstrakt says “I lost it on this remix, had to go HARD,” you know it’s time to buckle up. He transforms the track with a large dose of his signature frenetic bass house, cranking up the BPM to a degree that will have you opening up the pit in your own living room. Habstrakt&nbs...

Featuring mostly black and white visuals, DJ Snake and Malaa took the decks alongside festival-grade production to really enhance the rare livestream event. Included in their setlist are a number of unreleased IDs, fan-favorite tunes from both producers, and tracks from French compatriots&nbs...
