J-Sea - A Tragic Love Story (feat. Johnny Phade)

Ghostly vocals, downtrodden raps, and a tear-stained trap beat slows to a gorgeous finish.

Valley Swerve - Ocean Skyline

A gripping soundscape builds anticipation for a huge drum n’ bass takeoff. These chillout sonics become as vast as the sky and ocean.

I need you. Always thinking of you. Dive in, dive in, Flowin' round across the ocean~

Noimnotwhite - Space Coupe

Paired with PLAY’s tripped-out visual veneer, Noimnotwhite’s informal and plodding cloud rap delivery create a spacey psychedelic dream.

piNKII & Italia - Donki (Prod. Oui lele)

Another geek subculture reigns supreme in this lighthearted kawaii crossover with goofy graphics, awkward charm, and humble warmth.

Jacob Jenni - DÜM

One of the most unique highlights this week. Through cascading shoegaze effects, Jacob Jenni can still turn hypnagogic rambling into profound reflection.

sinking into sleep by myself let the pipe dream in, I know its not good for my health teeth feel like they're killing themselves with my hands tied back, the only option is stay still dont know what to do with you you sure love to swim in your own DÜM windows closed and no one can tell who has come inside and whos rotting in hell pounds of heaven, i get my fill thats how i know none of it is real dont know what to do with you you sure love to swim in your own DÜM I cant lie, im forced to keep it true I dont even know what I will do watch the holes around me start to seal I sit back, I dont enjoy the meal cant assimilate it but its feelin simulated thoughts of falling out the building feeling stimulating know theyre demons cause I see the way their fangs are hanging nearly go because I like the pretty songs theyre singing legs are underwater, no ones going anywhere, yeah blame whatever man, you know why the hell youre here no ones gonna make it clear

Pillowsnake - Toxic (ft. Yung Chuck)

Pillowsnake teams up with the oddball plunderphonics of Yung Chuck for a fascinatingly warped Britney Spears cover that keeps the rockin’ groove intact, with disorienting vocals and metal guitars that lead to a heart-racing finish.

THIS IS A COVER OF THE BRITNEY SPEARS CLASSIC. Produced by myself, featuring vocals and noises by Yung Chuck Mixed and mastered by Joaquin Tenorio.

Comedian - Cruise

Strong melodic guitars take charge over gently lilting vocals in this light post-hardcore brooder before an epic solo builds and relieves the distress.

LCVMuzik - On My Mind

The opener to LCV’s new album full of minimal R&B/hip-hop balladry is short, sweet, and swooning.

Julio. - Space & Time

He puts a period on his name, but a huge exclamation point on youthful heartbreak and wallowing emo-rock in a vivid video full of sentimental moments on the road.

Risky Patterns - Mes de Cierre

A spellbinding six-part suite full of muffled boom-bap, vaporwave sampling, nocturnal haze, and vinyl crackle.

i love you all . thanks for giving me purpose tracklist; 1. Winter Tide (Intro) 2. Hailstone 3. Flannel 4. Flurries 5. Ice Caps 6. Polar Parka

Erasmuss - A Bad Day

Jagged synths, strong pulse, creeping background electronics. A truly kinetic darkwave banger.

Amelia Holt - Twin System January mix

RGV-to-Brooklyn DJ Amelia Holt has kept her output of mixes steady in the pandemic, and for a long career playing in live settings, her sets are actually well-suited for home listening too. With a diverse list of artists, from DJ Krush to Bjork, she makes it a seamless experience of the downtempo and IDM side of electronica.

Brooklyn based DJ Amelia Holt was at the helm for the January Twin System show. She brought a bag of moody electronica - downtempo, electro and techno sounds all inside.
