I'm not too familiar with Polish composer Piotr Kurek before this, but I kind of find myself fascinated by the sounds he's crafted here.
This record was composed mostly by himself throughout the winter, spring & autumn of 2011.

There are 8 tracks to be discovered, all of which have a different mood to them; if I'm being honest, they do a great job of capturing the mood sets you'd expect for ... read more

Well... as far as Hardcore / Uptempo music goes, this track takes that aggression to another level, and I mean that in the best possible way.

With chant-like vocals mixed with insanely fast disorted kicks and piercing synths, Drunk At The Rave is a perfect track to use for festivals and never shows you any mercy for 3mins straight.

Not for the faint of heart!!

I don't understand how a record this gorgeous flies over the radar.

I adore Hundred Waters' sound; it's a mixture of melancholic, atmospheric, elegance and pain.

The atmosphere is haunting and raw, with it's elements of folk music being given a new lease of life as H.W. blend it together with Art Pop, a genre I have lots of admiration for.

Another highlight is the consistency, which this record never lets down the entire ... read more

Each single from D&D has been pretty enjoyable, but this is easily the most fleshed out one in sound.

The chilly 80s Synthpop rhythms match its title incredibly well with a nice disco touch to it.

You can tell now at this point that I cannot wait to hear Diamonds & Dancefloors on Friday!!!!

I didn't know who Luke Blovad was until now, but apparently he's a TikTok creator most-known for his fashion TikToks featuring nostalgic clothing referencing Gen Z signifiers like SpongeBob, Minecraft, LMFAO, Among Us, Call of Duty, Roblox etc....

I'm actually speechless here... it's like a fever dream that I can't wake up from.

I think this actually qualified as the worst EP I've ever listened ... read more

*Consistently impressive, I swear*

The Stranger marked as Billy Joel's 5th album which released in September 1977. It was recorded over the last 2 months prior in A&R Recording, Inc. in New York.

Joel was almost dropped by Columbia Records due to the underperformance of his last album Turnstiles, which prompted him to feature his touring band during the making.
He also got the help of Phil Ramone, whose worked for other artists ... read more

Even as a major EDM lover, Psybient is a genre that I'm aware of, but never listened to much of it to get a proper opinion until now.

This is a trip, a smooth psychedelic one... the kind that makes you feel like you're wondering through a kaleidoscopic tunnel that has a long winding path down different cultural environments and decades worth of experimental sounds.

Production wise, it's hallucinogenic and occasionally claustrophobic; sometimes you ... read more

The Low End Theory is the 2nd album from the American Hip-Hop group that released in September 1991.

It was produced primarily by Q-Tip (one of the members of the group) with a minimalist sound consisting of bass, drum breaks & jazz samples.

The album was initially doubted by critics due to the moderate success of Check the Rhime, but the releases of Jazz (We've Got) and Scenario brought the group further popularity.

Nowadays, The Low End Theory is ... read more

Fade is the 13th album from American indie rock band Yo La Tengo, released in January 2013.
It was recorded in Soma Electronic Music Studios in Illinois during summer 2012.

It marked as the band's first time hitting the Top 40 in the US Billboard 200 (No. 26)

I love the straightforward indie sound; it's peaceful, restrained and stripped back, feeling like something you'd hear during a live jazz session at a local venue.

Ira Kaplan's ... read more

If there's one thing I got to start off with, its the memories of playing Silent Hill 3 as a teen and those were the scariest gaming moments I've had during some nights; nothing's really topped that still.
The level of anxiety that game provides to you due to the heavy reliance on psychological horror, dark tone and dimly lit gruesome layered environments with monsters that make the sounds of worn out rust being scraped against or distorted ... read more

Make Yourself is Incubus' 3rd album, released on October 26th, 1999 (the day I was born, lol).
It was recorded at NRG Studios in Los Angeles throughout May and June of that year.

It was a modest critical & commercial success in the US, peaking in the Billboard 200 at No. 47

The electronic-infused riffs on this album are fuckin' unreal and offer a nice splice of classic punk-rock edge with some Hip-Hop elements.

I love ... read more

COME GET YOUR KNIIIIFE!!!

Honestly, where to start....?

The 3rd album from American alternative metal band Deftones, White Pony was released in June 2000.

Quite a fine example of Noise Rock with a gorgeous Lo-fi aesthetic.

Being the 2nd album from Dinosaur Jr. released in December 1987, You're Living All Over Me was a refinement of the formula they introduced on their self-titled debut album from 2 years before.

The album was originally to be released under the name Dinosaur before a lawsuit forced them to change it to Dimosaur Jr.

It is regarded as being a high point of American ... read more

We all know Carly Rae Jepsen since she propelled into stardom in 2012 with Call Me Maybe (and yes, I do like that song), and she has over time become a well known name, especially in the US.

E•MO•TION was released in August 2015. Carly was looking to distance herself from the Bubblegum-Pop sound of her 2012 album Kiss.
She took inspiration for her this album with 80s music and alternative styles, getting a variety of names to collab in making ... read more

Lemon Demon is a musical project created by American comedian, musician, YouTuber and animator Neil Cicierega, whose is also known for creating mashup albums under his own name as well as a popular puppet show web series called Potter Puppet Pals.

Normally I don't hold much faith when it comes to YouTubers making music since it often tends to have a certain kind of quality that feels novelty, but this is actually quite solid and has a ton of charm to it.

I love the ... read more
