Sapphire Adizes is a saxophonist, producer, and singer-songwriter who creates meaningful and experimental electronic music. My favorite song of his, “Proof of Concept”, is an entrancing journey from start to finish. A series of interesting vocal samples are interspersed throughout the track, linking together three wildly unique musical sections. It starts with softly crooned vocals that dissolve into an eerie …
BLACK LAND & Aglon – Talking In My Sleep
What kind of electronic black magic is this? Producers Black Land and Aglon teamed up to create this deliciously strange little number, and I for one am hooked. Pitched and chopped vocal samples are paired with thumping drums and an array of weird supporting sounds, resulting in a wild 3-minute ride.
Charli XCX – Lucky (Ö Remix)
Wow, this stripped down remix of Charli XCX‘s “Lucky” is something special. Experimental Montreal based producer Ö puts a delicate touch on this one, with echoing choral melodies and soft chants that build alongside Charli’s angelic vocals. Together, these pieces add a stunning new depth to what was already an incredible song. Stream the remix below and check out Ö‘s …
Halpe – Spells
Experimental yet catchy, Argentinian producer Halpe delivers another forward thinking beat in “Spells”. If you’re not familiar with Halpe, his style leans towards the future bass genre, though most everything he creates has a unique and unexpected spin. “Spells” is no different—pairing pitched vocals and upbeat melodies with sharp, bass heavy synths to create a really interesting contrast. Stream it …
Cozway – Bamboo
Vancouver based producer Cozway loves experimenting and coming up with exciting sounds unlike anything else found in the electronic music world. Most notable is the absurd drop in his remix of Quix and Nevve’s “Riot Call”… Take a listen and tell me it’s not insane. His new song “Bamboo” continues this trend with a jittery lead and thumping drums that …
Loosid – No Gravity
I featured one of loosid‘s exceptional remixes a few weeks ago, but this time it’s one of the talented producers original songs that has me all worked up. On “No Gravity”, loosid puts his finely tuned production skills on full display — with sharp percussion, a diverse mix of synths, and intricate electronic flourishes all melting together to create a …
Sal Dulu – Antasma
Never heard of Sal Dulu? I hadn’t either before stumbling upon his wild new song “Antasma”. According to SoundCloud, Sal Dulu is a producer from Dublin—but it’d be tough to tell from the sound of this tune alone. “Antasma” has a laid back, tropical tone that’s established with tight drum patterns, jazzy guitar riffs, and an array of soulful vocal …
quickly, quickly – Lost You
This track takes you on an emotional journey inside the broken heart of an immensely talented electronic artist. 16 year-old producer quickly, quickly‘s song “lost you” creates a minimalistic tone by stripping down drum and bass and concentrating on melodic harmonies that sound oh so sorrowful. The superb combination of real instruments atop a synthesizer and a drum kit creates …
Catching Flies – Komorebi
How to describe the wonderful music of London producer Catching Flies? It’s honestly hard to do justice to the beautiful feelings his music evokes, but on the most basic level it’s a melodic blend of chillwave, electronic, and downtempo – often taking the best of each genre and meshing them into a warm and easy listening experience. “Komorebi” is a …
Eastghost – The Apologist
Experimental Portland producer Eastghost has been one of my favorite artists for a while now, mostly because everything he drops seems to push the very boundaries of electronic music. He recently stated that he’s been “juggling inspiration to write many different styles of electronic music lately, especially so in the way of making huge, club-ready bass tracks that people can …
