[Single Saturday #16] PKSkyker- FREE ROAM (Prod. BOSEBY)

Image
NEOPOLISM Y22K by PKSkyler The track starts with an eerie melodic vocal sample, when PKSkyler's first verse begins it gets very heavy. "Tap into the wire, download your soul" hits different seeing as we're in the age where anything can be downloaded from the internet, the beat is very mellow that Boseby produced it has influences of many genres combined into one. On one hand, it has an ambient vibe on the other hand it has the percussion element that bangs hard and reminds me of early clams casinos instrumentals. PK's flow on this is amazing his vocals rides the wave of the beat very well, the lyrics on "FREE ROAM" are on a whole different level when PK said "All around the world is rotting" I felt that because of all the chaos that's happening around us every day. I also love the 808s on this track they make the instrumental stand out, from the experimental beat to the very unique vocals BOSEBY and PKSkyler have outdone

[Album Spotlight #5] Thumb & Kid 1 by emptybrother7 & MJC

Thumb & Kid 1 by emptybrother7 & MJC   Thumb & Kid 1 is a beat tape by emptybrother7 & MJC, this project dabbles in many genres different genres and is very experimental. I had the pleasure of listening to this masterpiece early and loved every track, here are my thoughts   "Caddy Trap" is the first track on the album and its bangs, lush piano synths fill the air with catchy drum percussion, the ambiance is so uplifting on this one too. Caddy trap would be something you'll bump when you're cruising down a highway at night,  The second track in this album is titled "Soul In Lofi" the beat starts with a chopped r&b vocal sample, then suddenly you're introduced to a crunchy lofi beat style. You can faintly hear the vocal chops through the duration of the beat, which play into the melody very well. The 808 bass reminds me of early future bass sounds. "In Search Of Silence"  is very unique,  from the start you&#

[Single Saturday #15] EXiL3- amphetamine binge

EXiL3 · EXiL3 - amphetamine binge *MUSIC VID IN DESC* For this weeks single Saturday, we have a track for you by EXiL3 titled "amphetamine binge" The track begins with a distorted guitar sample that EXiL3 is known for, when the vocals are introduced it hit me hard. If you've ever done stimulants then the first verse "Amphetamine binge haven't slept in weeks" will make you relate to what the artists message is, "haven't eaten in days but that's ok" is the result of bingeing on different types of substances,  I feel like EXiL3 was trying to spread a special meaning behind "amphetamine binge" even though the track is catchy is still will make you feel how he felt during a period in his life. The trap drums bang hard and give the track a lot of energy, it will for sure amp you up so your best bet would be to listen while driving around. If I had to classify this track I would say it's alternative with emo-rap in

[Digiview #8] An interview with 죽음ᵈᵉᵃᵗʰᵖᵒᵉᵐ

Image
죽음ᵈᵉᵃᵗʰᵖᵒᵉᵐ is an ambient/vaporwave from Tennessee, he specializes in making music that will take you to another realm of existence. With a new record in the works the sky is the limit for 죽음ᵈᵉᵃᵗʰᵖᵒᵉᵐ I had the pleasure to interview him a few days ago When did you begin making music? i started making music around the age of 13. I started playing guitar around the age of 10, but became obsessed with the idea of recording music, and made my first rough demo around the age of 13. it was probably some terrible metalcore or whatever I was into at the time haha. That's very cool, one of the first bands I discovered was a metalcore band back in middle school haha Amazing! Some of your projects give off dream punk vibes, how do you vision the dream punk scene in a few years? I hope that it continues to be about expression and experimentation, and I hope it constantly evolves. I feel like it will eventually become unrecognizable from what its origin point once was, and honestly,

[Single Saturday #14] hellvalleyskytrees- who died and made you king?

hellvalleyskytrees by hellvalleyskytrees For this weeks single Saturday we have a track by hellvalleyskytrees titled "who died and made you king?" The track starts with distorted and vocoder vocals that will melt your brain, the vocal pitch changes ever so often. This song will ease the anxiety you had throughout the day because it has a very slow and moody sound, the percussion is buried under the mix well and makes the sound atmospheric, there's also a synth lead that carries the song which I enjoyed very much. My favorite part of the track happened halfway through it when hellvallyskytrees transposed her vocals to create a screaming type of vocal, the effects on all the different sounds are on a different level of production, love every second of it. hellvalleyskytrees is in my opinion a fantastic songwriter, her lyrics match the track with ease. The artist did a fantastic job on the mixing end everything blends well, "who died and made you kind?'
