Deja Dead – Snapshots

I found Deja Dead by accident. Late night. half-scrolling. half-bored. “Snapshots” came on and I didn’t skip it. That says something. The first thing that hit me was the voice. It carries the track in a very direct way. You…

I.D.K. – Nark 5

I played “Nark 5” on my laptop speakers first. Big mistake. Within seconds the bass was rumbling and I had to grab my headphones because this thing deserved better than cheap laptop speakers. The song doesn’t warm you up. It…

Debbie M – Hold On To

Debbie M just landed on my radar with a new single called “Hold On To”. It’s a soft and emotional pop song that will get you stuck on constant repeat. The song opens with calm piano and her voice right…

The Trusted – Spin

I first heard “Spin” by The Trusted while half-distracted and it snapped me back pretty fast. The opening guitar has that bright and slightly scratchy sound that is like it’s bouncing off the walls. Before I knew it, I’d stopped…

hachajah – Mind Gag

I just dicovered this amazing artist. I put on his latest single “Mind Gag” late at night with the lights off, and it felt like the room got smaller in a good way. hachajah has a style that’s hard to…

Eshan Agarwal – The Siren

Eshan Agarwal just landed on my radar with his new single “The Siren”. It’s like one of those songs you put on once just to check it out, then realize it’s been on repeat for half an hour. It opens…

D3PRT – You will never know

I played this track late at night with the lights off and it immediately felt like the room got a little smaller in a good way. D3PRT doesn’t rush anything on his latest single “You Will Never Know”. The beat…
