Feed Me - Feed Me From The Clouds
70
Hitting hard with the sounds of electro and bass house, "Feed Me From The Clouds" is another solid addition to an already expansive discography. This EP in particular is your no-nonsense, big sound, heavy beats record that is unrelenting in its pace.

Favourite: Say Yes Or Say No
Least: Total

Travis Scott - UTOPIA
70
With such an expansive tracklist, I'm impressed Travis was able to keep the record sounding as homogeneous as it did while venturing into some darker tones. I do believe that Travis excels the most when he's branching into more experimental territory; much of this record doing so.

Favourite: HYAENA, TIL FURTHER NOTICE, CIRCUS MAXIMUS
Least: TOPIA TWINS, K-POP

OTR - Be Quiet, They're Listening
70
What a great vibe this project is! A mix of house and garage sounds makes for an easy-listening, summer album. The single-style tracks from this record are definitely highlights while the more reserved atmospheric tracks tend to lag behind. In the end though, it's a simple record that's easy to play whenever you are.

Favourite: leave You Behind
Least: I Want to Feel

NGHTMRE & Big Gigantic - GIGANTIC NGHTMRE
60
The collaboration of two massive artists makes for a fun, yet neutered EP. Each of the five tracks here and simple and fun blend of both artists, but ultimately feels like a stepdown of either sound. NGHTMRE's big drops sounds feel pulled back and the live instrumentation and heavy basslines of Big Gigantic are seldom found. This was a collaboration that seemingly worked great on paper, but in execution was just ok.

Favourite: Never Loved You Like That
Least: Disconnected

Aphex Twin - Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760
60
I think Aphex Twin's production may just be too over my head. I enjoy the sound design and melodies but am struggling to find what truly makes this a cut above the other IDM/Breakbeat projects out there. It's a neat project that I sadly didn't find favour with.

Hello Bowtie! Just released a new EP (glitchy, wonky, and weird electronic genre) and if you're interested, would love it if you checked it out!

Is good to see electronic appreciation here on this site (even if we don't have the same taste in EDM, all EDM is great)

Oh shit I saw your videos on nurture!

About

I review music on a YouTube channel that focuses primarily on electronic/EDM music.

I look at A LOT of music that the majority of this userbase does not.
