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.

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.

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.

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.

Erasmuss - A Bad Day

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