I really like the layered background vocals in this song (around 1:30) and the funky bass paired with the off beat egg shakers makes this song very catchy. The main vocals are balanced out really well and with all the instrumental happening in the background, at first I thought the song was a little bit crowded but after listening to it a couple times I noticed how all the instrumental and percussion compliment each other really well.
Jai Paul – Jasmine
This song starts with highly compressed bass line. Vocal used multiple effects(chorus, reverb and filter) and various ambience sounds in the background.
BADBADNOTGOOD – Time Moves Slow (feat. Sam Herring)
Alexander Sowinski is so deep in the pocket, you could fit a kick drum in there. The instrumentals openness gives room for Sam Herring’s superb vocals to shine through. I enjoy the outro (3:49) where everything builds up creating anticipation for a final huzzah.
Denise Lasalle – Trapped by a Thing Called Love
I really like the way the song goes from a kind of call and answer concept with the bass and the trumpets specifically in 0:30 and around 1:24 and then brings them together to flow so coherently. Also the bass and the guitar with the drums carry such a steady melody that reminds me of a train and the trumpets are just the cherry on top that brings this beautiful song together.

I really like the different instrumentation the song had. The drums hit onbeat and it really showed the release when all the instruments played together and started slowing down. Especially at the end !
The art of house-techno-trap
I never thought of myself as a big techno music fan until I found myself listening to Yaeji and similar artists for over 10 hours straight at one point. It’s a genre that can fit almost any mood, whether you just want something playing in the background while doing hw, a good party playlist when dj’ing or when your existential crisis hits at 4am.
Yaeji is a producer, singer, rapper, DJ from Brooklyn who keeps everybody on the hook with her amazing evolution and style change on every new EP. Being bilingual she used that opportunity to write in both Korean and English, reaching a wide audience from her hometown city in South Korea and the US. Her voice is defiant even though she often sings in a whisper; her tone is melodic and angular. Her flow is like that of a rapper, she links together rhymes and keeps rhythm, but there’s also an energy lurking beneath her delivery that echoes classic, soaring house singers.
Here’s a lil interview to get a glimpse of her personality. I would definitely recommend checking her out especially if you’re not familiar with this genre! She’s rlly cool.
Babe rainbow
Babe rainbow is a folk/psychedelic funk band from Australia which formed in early 2014, a couple years later during 2017 they officially released ‘The Babe Rainbow’ EP which gave them a solid following. fast forward a year and they release “Double Rainbow” which was a more folk album but still a groove. This album really showed the world who they are and where they can take their music.
2019 was a very good year for The Babe Rainbow, with the release of ‘Today’ came real groovy chords and unique melodies. This mushroom induced album was a masterpiece in my eyes..
(fun fact)
Babe rainbow was reportedly about to wrap up a movie with an original soundtrack but it was never released
get psyched!!
