“Drowning” is a trippy instrumental from up and coming UK based producer Groke. He says it’s a song about “the turbulent descent into the deep blue darkness”, which nicely sums up how this one feels. An intro with frenetic strings leads into an otherworldly vocal style synth, then plummets into the abyss with a monstrous beat. Before it ends, the string section makes a grand return—tying everything together and putting an exclamation point on this unique new tune. If you’re feeling this one, be sure to check out the rest of Groke’s work on SoundCloud, and stream “Drowning” below.

So & So – Alone
There’s not much info on So & So, but I really like this kind of stuff. I first heard “Alone” a few days ago and it stuck with me. It’s an instrumental that starts with some pretty piano and unfolds into a hypnotizing jam featuring plucky synths, breathy vocal samples, and a sturdy beat. Listen to the rest of So & So‘s work on SoundCloud and stream “Alone” below.

Y2K & bbno$ – lalala
I first heard this one on a stupid instagram video and haven’t been able to get it out of my head. “lalala” is the first single off producer Y2K‘s upcoming EP, Dream Eater and it’s catchy as hell. It’s a collaboration between producer Y2K and Canadian rapper bbno$ that features a thumping beat and super catchy lyrics. It’s short, sweet, and guaranteed to worm its way into your head. Both Y2K and bbno$ are worth checking out on SoundCloud, so be sure to give ’em a follow if you like “lalala”. Stream it below.

Cozway & Jon Casey – Ambush
“Ambush” was first heard last year on RL Grime’s Halloween VII mix and fans have been clamoring for a proper release ever since. It’s finally here, and it was worth the wait. The two newest additions to the Sable Valley roster bring the heat on this monstrous trap collaboration. Cozway and Jon Casey fuse their respective sounds—creating a frenetic and hard hitting song that quickly builds momentum and never lets up. If you’re not already familiar with these guys, be sure to check them out on SoundCloud (Cozway | Jon Casey), along with all the previous Sable Valley releases.

TroyBoi – HIGH (feat. YAS)
TroyBoi‘s new EP V!BEZ, Vol. 3 was just released via OWSLA, and it’s got some good new songs along with a proper release of his hit song “Do You?”. My favorite track from the project is “HIGH”, which features softly crooned vocals from YAS, serene production, and an unexpected explosion of synths midway through. It’s not at all what I imagined from TroyBoi, but I’m certainly not complaining. Check out the full EP here and stream “HIGH” below.

Production duo X&G are back with a dangerous new house tune that wastes no time getting into a dark groove with churning bass and furious percussion.

Stream it below and be sure to keep an eye on X&G’s SoundCloud for more.

Madeon – All My Friends (TOO KIND Remix)
Up and coming Orlando based producer TOO KIND is back with another ferocious remix—this time taking on Madeon‘s latest song, “All My Friends”. The vocals from the poppy original are kept mostly intact, but TOO KIND introduces growling synths and high octane percussion to warp the original into a gnarly, hard hitting new tune. I’m a big fan of this guy’s work, so if you’re not already familiar, be sure to check out his Billie Eilish remix along with the rest of his work on SoundCloud.

Oshi – My Girl
The latest from Oshi is a beautifully melancholic tune with pristine production and original vocals from the man himself. “My Girl” features a beat that’s full of rich synths and crisp percussion, but it’s the addition of Oshi’s vocals that really sets this one apart. The young artist pours his heart out with powerful lyrics that evoke a hopelessly lovesick vibe. The chorus is the highlight for me; it got stuck in my head the first time I heard it and it’s kept me coming back time and time again. Check it out below and head to Oshi’s SoundCloud for more.
