[Album Spotlight #8] derivative誰- wedding cake mix tape

Image
wedding cake mix tape by derivative誰 To celebrate derivative誰 wedding he has created a 6 track vaporwave EP titled "wedding cake mixtape" as a present for his significant other surprise 先生 (Desired remix) is the first track to kick off the EP, it has a classic vaporwave feel to it. Mellow drums as well as sampled saxophone pieces feel the air in the room, this track also has hints of R & B mixed in. Through the track, there's  a spoken word that says "Thank you all for joining I've been waiting for this my whole life" which left a smile on my face knowing that derivative has found someone to be with forever. スタジオ is by far my favorite track from this EP, I'm a fan of schoolboy and this remix is stellar. The vocals have heavy reverb on them that defiantly sets the mood of the setting,  I feel like this would be played at derivative誰  bachelor party a few nights before getting married while you're hanging with your best friends having fun. &quo

[Single Saturday #23] deelovesamy x zachedellic- mind games

   It's Saturday once again so that only means it's time for single Saturday! For this week's edition, we bring you a track by two great underground artists deelovesamy & zachedellic. The title of the track by the duo is "mind games"  when I first began listening to "mind games" I was in complete awe, the first thought that came to mind was how very hypnotic and dreamy it is. I have to say listening to "mind games" helped ease the stress that I had all week, the drums are mellow as well as the piano Rhodes you hear throughout your listening experience, If you listen closely enough there is an 808 bass line that gave this track some room to bounce. deelovesamy did a fantastic job of chopping up the samples extremely well and adding his own unique twist to the beat. deelovesamy and zachedellic have created something amazing, "mind games" is something you would kick back and relax to after a long week of stress. It did a great job of

[Single Saturday #22] Audrey Hornet- Burned by the Witch

Burnt Speech by Audrey Hornet   This week's single Saturday features a track by the very talented Audrey Hornet After a brief vocal recording that reminded me of what it must have felt like to be at the Salem witch trials the track begins, right away you're consumed with heavy industrial drums accompanied by vocal chants that say "Burned by the witch" this track builds up every second you listen to it. The tempo quickens as different kinds of synths are added to the mix, I could hear many influences of genres that Audrey was inspired by, Such as digital hardcore, IDM, as well as post-hardcore, and a touch of noise pop.  The lyrics are straightforward throughout your listening experience as I mentioned, but in the middle of the track there's a breakdown with a sample of someone speaking but Audrey takes that sample and adds a glitch effect at a very fast speed, I thought that was a unique way to add to the atmosphere of 'Burned by the witch".

[Album Spotlight #7] VARIOUS ARTISTS- VNR2022 COMPILATION

Image
VNR2022 COMPILATION by VARIOUS ARTISTS VNR has just recently released a very special compilation album with 22 tracks featuring the finest underground artists in the scene The first thing that I would like to say is that there are many different types of music on this compilation, you have tracks such as marth Daul's "Endangered" that starts off the album with a bang. Beautiful noise-styled ambient sounds that will make you stare off into space throughout the whole duration of the track, there's a very unique field sample of rain mixed into "Endangered" which was a nice touch. An artist that I featured on here not too long ago was emptybrother7, his track "weekend" is a downtempo/chillhop banger that didn't disappoint at all. This would be something you'd listen to while you look up at the stars on a summer night while you have a few drinks with your friends There are harsh noise tracks on here such as Sidekick Wave's "So Col
