The Chainsmokers Upload New Episode of ‘Nice Hair’ With Heavy Guest Mix From NGHTMRE
The Chainsmokers have been winning the hearts of OG fans back over the last year since their return to the dance music paradigm. One of their most convincing efforts so far has been their balls to wall collaboration with NGHTMRE. It seems that the collaboration has produced a bit of a friendship as NGHTMRE has also come on as the special guest for the latest episode of their radio show, ‘Nice Hair’.
The episode is a full hour long, and is without a doubt some of the most exciting music we have heard from The Chainsmokers so far, and the guest mix just doubles down on the awesome. NGHTMRE really packs a punch with the time that he has. We have our fingers crossed that these artists continue to work together as the year closes, but when they do – magic happens.
Check out the mix below via The Chainsmoker’s Soundcloud.
Why NGHTMRE Was The Right Guest
This wasn’t just a random booking. This episode of ‘Nice Hair’ landed as episode 050, and it dropped less than a month after The Chainsmokers and NGHTMRE released their original collaboration “Save Yourself” together on August 24, 2018. Getting NGHTMRE on the show right after that single came out was a smart way to keep momentum going, giving fans another taste of the chemistry between the two acts beyond just the one track. ‘Nice Hair’ had already built a reputation as a place where The Chainsmokers bring on producers they’re actually cool with rather than just filling a guest slot, so pairing it with a fresh single made a lot of sense.
Nice Hair’s Bigger Picture
For anyone newer to the show, ‘Nice Hair’ has stuck around as a recurring outlet for The Chainsmokers to showcase both their own unreleased material and tracks from artists they’re into, eventually growing into a full podcast that later landed on platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Episodes built around a single guest, like this NGHTMRE hour, tend to be some of the most replayable ones in the catalog since the guest gets a real runway instead of a quick five-minute cameo. If you’re a fan of either act, this one is worth revisiting even years later.
