oh no, that album cover is something else...
(ngl both tracks hit hard though)

imagine getting teleported on a faraway place that looks like a giant land of cotton candy. Not only that, it feels like cotton candy as well. That's what Niallo's new EP sounds like. Props for Gaijin Graphics for the visuals too, it definitely fits Niallo's vision for the release.
I stumbled across this release by a self-promo post on 174. Facebook group. Like what I've described earlier, this release sounds like cotton candy with its light, sparkly and ... read more

when I hear of a_hisa, it reminds me of a video game composer with a imaginative mind, capable of producing tracks from most genres.
this one goes for a mysterious, solemn approach with pianos as the main instrument + I like how a_hisa experiments with vocals for the release.
another W for a_hisa 👀

҂ ★★★
Remember Self vs Self w/ In Flames? That time fans were begging for a new metal + dnb collab for years. Today, the calls have been answered, because Pendulum collabed with another metal band "Bullet For My Valentine" (Matt Tuck, specifically). It got all the stuff fans want, but personally, there is more to this because the execution is quite badass.
The first half of the track sounds very promising, with the sinister intro creeping ... read more
81 • turned myself to dust upon listening to this
҂ ★★★★
knock knock, who's there? Voicians? Pendulum? Close, but this is new Metrik actually. Surprised? 👀
Metrik played a little safe here, following the same theme as Immortal. (EP?) He added familiar sounds here and there. Immortal was a banger, no need to fix something that isn't broken, right?
(tbh, I forget that metrik is capable of producing nasty sounds sometimes)
(and it's better than the pendulum track that was ... read more
80 • sparkly future house tune
҂ ★★★★
I keep misspelling their alias ;-; like there's little difference between asuzora not azuzora idk
asuzora as an artist intrigues me. they're* a future house artist, that uses color bass sound design, which they call it "color house".
Personally, it's a really fun style to listen to most of the time, unlike the dubstep style that is usually associated with color bass (depends on the artist ofc, but I meant dubstep type is hit or ... read more

I did it, I listened to this for curiosity purposes. The thing is, why does this exists on Spotify, when it's just a 15 second loop of a song with the exact same melody?
yeah, this belongs only on advertising campaigns, even though they ain't that good lmao
favorite tracks:
idk, chicken chicken???
73 • cozy blend of organic and synthetic
҂ ★★★☆
bowtied media reviewed this so might as well listen to this lmao
A cozy downtempo album with a blend of piano and brass. Perfect cafe music. Made me sleepy for a while though
If you're in a hurry, you can listen to this, as this album is only 30 minutes long. (I'm aware that there are albums with a shorter length than this)

Stessie, you're back (after 9 months!). I thought you will quit music production after your debut album, which is weird tbh. Track-wise I enjoyed it obv
63 • a tad overrated
҂ ★★★
Yes, production is good, vocals are good, but that's it. I don't get how people vibe a lot to this one
72 • euphoric
҂ ★★★☆
The final single before the album release.
You found a staircase that goes all the way to heaven. Curiosity got into you as you took your first steps. As you walk up the stairs, a camera is watching behind the subject starting from the bottom. Another camera starts panning in circles, highlighting the subject from all sides. You feel the pressure in your chest and it just keeps going, and going...
And after with all that buildup, you suddenly feel a sense ... read more
90 • certified banger
҂ ★★★★☆
I used to vibe to this track when I stumbled on NCS' channel back in 2021. I don't listen to electronic music that much back then, but this track got me hooked (for a while). I still have this downloaded on my phone actually
Netrum, together with his close friend, teamed up to make a banger of a track. Like a phoenix, this track gives you a flap of energy. It allows you to spread your wings, either at home or in a club with other people. and yes, ... read more

The remix just basically ups that energy to the max, especially the already aggressive basslines. You know, REAPER making noises
67 • spooky and drippy
҂ ★★★☆
This track has a dark warehouse feel to it. I like the chromatic keys every 4 bars too, it feels drippy. Not to mention your typical scrunchy bass from Culture Shock. So yep, it's well made, but that just it - this might grew on me though.
64 • shockingly decent (ong)
҂ ★★★
This took me a while to write and I have no idea as well. And as always, sorry for grammatical mistakes lmao
Culture Shock's debut album on RAM Records shows his capability of making euphoric tunes, but there's some room to be desired.
Personally, Culture Shock is the type of artist who will release tracks so good I put it on repeat and release tracks that is so generic it makes me sleep. Kind of like Dimension but more hit-or-miss. (they kinda ... read more
