“Take A Chance” by Ball in the House steps into a time capsule that somehow landed in the present, full of retro charm and sleek, modern polish. From the very first “Ooo” floating in the ether, the track wraps you in a warm, choral hug, with deep bass rumbling underneath…

“Haters Pressed” by Nuk kicks the door open with a vibe that’s equal parts icy confidence and streetwise grit. Right from the jump, the beat slaps hard—deep, thumping kicks layered under cold, sizzling textures that float like smoke in a dim-lit alley. There’s this eerie, suspenseful undercurrent in the production,…

“Serene Despair” by Antoin Gibson, under the Circum-Sŏnus banner, is one of those rare concept EPs that actually earns the “concept” label. Instead of casually name-dropping mythological femme fatales for aesthetic flair, Gibson fully inhabits them—Succubus, Morrigan, Siren, Medusa, and Banshee—recasting their ancient power into modern soundscapes that slip between…

“Das Geisterschiff” by Nordstahl is a storm-worn vessel drifting straight into your gut. From the first gentle, flowing piano notes, there’s a deceptive calm, like the glassy surface before the squall.

In the sprawling, ever-changing landscape of New York City’s music scene, few artists navigate the intersection of performance, production, and storytelling with the same precision and emotional impact as Adhitavo. Known for blending electronic textures with classical modal structures, songwriting, and technology-based performance, Adhitavo moves seamlessly across these realms. Based…

ARENTUMINE’s debut album Wasting Time steps into someone’s diary while the ink is still wet. From the jump, “The Pact (Intro)” wraps you in floaty synths that rise like morning fog, then drops in slow, heavy beats that land with intention. Justin Alvarez’s husky, euphoric delivery cuts through that haze…

Exzenya’s new single “Intermittent Love” kicks the door wide open with a heavy, hypnotic and unsettling bassline and a snapping rhythm that feels both. There’s this gritty, glitchy buzz running underneath, like static you can’t quite shake, and it sets the stage for her deep, gravelly voice to come pouring.…
