Color bass at its finest, on display by some of the most exciting rising producers. From bangers like "Halo" and "Hyper Beam" to chill songs that are equally incredible, such as "Diffract," this always-exciting compilation has it all.
While some songs leave me wanting more, Dronez absolutely killed it with this futuristic melodic riddim EP.
Undoubtedly Kaval's magnum opus. Four cohesive, enjoyable tracks, displaying what Rushdown artists do best: make melodic music that still goes hard.
The greatest album I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. For a while, this was my favorite album in general too. The production quality and variety throughout all 70 minutes is already an incredible feat, but when you add the extra layer of storytelling, that's what makes Aetherborne so legendary. You can tell that Chime put his absolute heart and soul into this project.

First of all, it's great to watch an artist this early in his career begin to build his talent. I'm gonna keep it honest, Jared's vocal style isn't my type of thing, as it's very monotonous and lacking energy, but I really like his flow, specifically on "This Is Me." While I usually feel like features add quality to an album, I feel like they hurt this LP more, specifically the features from A.C.E. Turk. The production on this album is nothing to write home ... read more
Incredible witch house project that spans a wide variety of emotions while still being cohesive and nice to listen to.
This isn't my favorite electronic album (that title goes to Aetherborne), but this is without a doubt the one that I return to the most. Each song has a hook that's catchy in its own right, whether from Moore's production or the vocalist (or both, in the case of See You Go for example). There's also a ton of variety, from house (Another Year Of Whatever) to dubstep (Call Of The Unicorn) to electronic trap (Vendetta For Cupid), and many more. Despite that, this album is ... read more
Nothing short of incredible. Melodic Dubstep/Future Bass producers should look to this project as an example of how to make a great work of this genre. My only complaint is that Ode's drop is a bit underwhelming. But otherwise, I don't think I can find a single mistake in Summerdew.
Favorites: Stand Tall (top 5 songs of all time), ChurchGarden
Least favorite: Ode
Nowhere near perfection. But it's still my favorite album of all time. Maybe I'll write a full essay about this album sometime like I should, but for now, I'll just say that Whole Lotta Red is innovation in a time of redundancy.
Super fun house EP, albeit inconsistent.

Neddie's best work for sure. This is really the project that made me love this nostalgic style of future riddim that I literally produce myself now.
Favorites: There's A Whole World Out There, Are We There Yet, Sometimes I Wish I Learned How To Live Life Sooner, Still Thinking About You
Least favorite: Tearing Up
While this album didn't live up to my complete expectations, ranking 2nd in my list of Neddie's projects (with There's A Whole World Out There, Go Explore It EP having an 88/100), it was a more mature project than anything else Neddie's ever released. The storytelling, which I haven't fully grasped yet, definitely takes a center stage of this project, tying together the diverse range of genres that Neddie displays on this project. The goal of Neddie's previous EPs ... read more
#88/225 album
This album is like a book, where I don’t know why I’m reading it, but I can’t put it down. Never did I think I would enjoy a drone album this much.
Favorites: Punish, Houseofpsychoticwomn (favorite), Vacillator, Etienne
Least favorites: Perverts (least favorite), Pulldrone
#13/225 album, #6/133 rap album
Introspective while still being lighthearted. Never a dull moment, and always creative, even on the rare weaker track.
Favorites: DENIAL IS A RIVER, BLOOM, WAIT, SLIDE (favorite)
Least favorites: BOOM BAP (least favorite), GTFO
Absolutely incredible. Super diverse, yet cohesive and interesting album. My personal favorite work that Travis has ever put out.
