Cannot stop.

Chrome Sparks

Entering a lo-fi beats phase.
Makes you want to bounce around in your batman footie pajamas I said god DAMN.

Flying Lotus (again? who even cares)

I actually didn't give this song much attention the first few play throughs and now I can't stop listening to it.

Zooly

It is my job to wade through the vast reaches of shitty moombahton, ferreting out any delicious morsels such as this song.
Goddamn this song is great.
One in every...fifty-odd shitty sub-125bpm moombah track actually turns out fucking radical. I have to sift through the other 49 though, and for that you are welcome.

World Class Art Thieves

I am behind this 100%.

Big Gigantic

It helps if you look at this picture while you listen to this

MORE Prototyperaptor

because FUCK YOU is why

Take THAT, hardstyle! You just got fixed!

She

yaaaaassss

Shreddie Mercury rework by EEEVERYYOOONE

IT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING

Dorian Concept

What is with these incredibly skilled northern european musical savants quietly conquering multiple genres fuck this guy

Onra, feat. Oliver Daysoul

You poor babies. It's been weeks since I've fed you last.

This is shit quality, but it's so good I still want to share it with you because god DAMN.

shift-b EDIT:

BONUS ROUND

Savant Again God Damn His Eyes

I'm twelve and what is this.

KOAN Sound

IT'S HERE

BioBlitz?

...BUT HARD BURN OVER HERE, MOTHERFUCKS

Towa Tei

WE NINETIES NOW
This was a huge time for breathy, exotic Amazonian ladies and funky backing bands with far too many vibraslaps, didgeridoos, and wind chimes as was necessary.

I'm looking at you, Brand New Heavies.

PrototypeRaptor

And so we eventually get Mord Fustang-type homages made by other producers dicking aound.
This one especially appeals to me because when you get tired of the Mord vibe (HA HA) you can pretend it has something to do with Homestuck.

rEDdIT:

Okay holy shit this PrototypeRaptor guy is pretty okay in my books. Anything with dem synths.

Junkyard Bassics

Glitch.
For when you want an empty brain, but without any of that noisy shit.

Svidden?

Oh.

Oh I see. That's how it's going to be.

Did I mention I purchased some new speakers recently?

Mord FuYOU KNOW THE DRILL

I will never not post Mord Fustang

Montee!

I SAID GOD DAMN

Uppermost?

Oh...oh my.

Youtube, are you trying to seduce me?

Fucking Savant Again

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK

(if you made it through this entire song we should be friends)

Edit: On further reflection, if you made it through this entire song you are probably Gamzee in which case stay the fuck away

KOAN Sound

This what happens if you put Towa Tei in a Phantasy Star Online-patterned world and wait until he invents dubstep.

This EP is so. so. fucking. good.

Edit: COME ON

Rabbit Killer

CAN'T STOP WONT STOP ROCKEFELLER ARPEGGIOS, SIDECHAIN COMPRESSED BREAKS, AND BREATHY FEMALE VOCALS USED AS CUTS

THEY KNOW MY WEAKNESS(ES)

Pendulum

I fully support Pendulum, because they're completely self aware of how over the top they are.
He got a midi controller built into a guitar, for chrissakes.

However, I must have skipped over this track the first few times I played this latest album.
Ignore the lyrics - hell, ignore the drum track!

Thats....thats a Megaman level!
I've played that level!

Gunslinger?

I am a huge sucker for tremendous, anime-boss-fight, analog-synthesizer-fat-MOOG arpeggios.
I may have mentioned this multiple times before, but come the fuck on. Listen to this.
Take or leave the vocals.

Refracture mixing Shuval

Throwback to some classic house/DnB elements in this song. These are the parts I like, the sidechain-compressed antique drum cuts underneath the unaffected piano-sounding piano. As characteristic of a style as any legitimate piece of music I know.

Monophonix

Come along with me on a journey into my brain

Black. Tiger. Sex. Machine.

I can't make these fucking names up, but I'm powerful glad someone made them exist.

Also listen to that fucking drive, man. Haven't felt this way since Hot Pink Delorean.

....I'm beginning to see a naming convention here.

Dyro?

An excellent Daft Punk tribute, sir. Well done indeed.

BRUK feat. Marie L

I am normally really wary of ethereal-female-vocals and a trancy-er, more anthemic electro house sound pairings.

These guys are a great example of how you do it right - go real spare on the vocals, and warp them in and out of the song (treating it more as an instrument than anything else)

A vaguely foreign accent does wonders. Nobody wants to hear Americans!

The ultimate goal of these vocals is to provide this crystalline pure moment that cuts through your dancing brain and wakes you up, then immediately throws you back into the tumble dryer again.

Ignore the words, of course, they're fucking awful by cultural mandate. It's all 'flying high' and 'fantasy' and 'forever' and other insipid shmaltzy bullshit rave lingo.

Man, that second song is actually really good.

More Digital Freq

OH SHIIIIIIIIT

Barjo remixing Jonathan Landossa

WHAT WHOOPS NO WE'RE BACK ON TRACK NOW

Dela feat. Reach

Once again we have a hip hop track that progresses until you suddenly realize what you're listening to is really good

Eddie Harris

Lets all just calm down for a second, now

Savant? (SAVANT!)

Time for another episode of "Do I like this song what is this I don't even"


Edit - Oh we are in some serious trouble with this Savant fellow.

He's Feed Me - Kissy Sell Out - Electro - Chiptune - Dubstep - from Norway - Fuck You

What the fuck am I even supposed to think about this

Infected Mushroom

So these guys are putting out a new record.

I've noticed that Infected Mushroom fans are often pretty fucking hero worshipping, and I'm not sure why. I mean, these guys sound alright. It's that Dim Mak label, man. Everybody on there has mediocre songs that people lose their shit over. Steve Aoki hasn't made a good song in his life.

I'm fairly sure drugs is the reason everyone loves IM.

Bit Shifter!?

I'd be amused by all these whiteboy antics if it wasn't so fucking good all the time.

Jesus fucking christ chiptunes can be so goooooooood.
(mostly I am talking about that first song. The tracks that follow still get pretty dang great [chiptune dnbstep 5 minutes in? are you insane?] but they do sometimes fall into the one big pitfall that plagues chiptunes, which is everything blurring together and descending into aural tropes that were old when we actually used them ten years ago and sounding like an actual shitty game.)
That got depressing. Go watch the beginning again. Fuck!

The hardware of this still blows me away.

EDIT: I MUST FIND THIS SONG

Dela, CL Smooth, Peterockpeterockpeterock

I have a huge soft spot for Walt-Whitman-level run-on sentence hip hop; ones that have lines that blur past your ears before you realize you've heard them.


Obviously C.L. Smooth is the king of this

I'm not sure if I put that up somewhere before. Who cares, it's a fine song.

It aint about speed, I mean, I've never been that much of a fan of Busdriver exception. He's like the Buckethead of hip hop. Which I guess could be a compliment if you're that kind of dude.
(By the way, just an aside - if someone willingly admits they like Buckethead, you need to be real fucking wary of that person. That's a bigger red flag than Aphex Twin.)
Nor is it about the longest dumbest sentence you can come up with. I'm looking at you, Lyrics Born. Not that I don't love that song.
I just like it when it sounds like they took all their punctuation and shifted it half a sentence down.

I feel like I should have a third example here to tie it all together.
Edit: found it!

TheFatRat

I don't know who this guy is but I'm for it!

Solid original work.

Solid remix work. All in all, give this man lots of money and keep an eye on him.

MORD FUSTAND EP DROPPED

Four new amazing songs

He knew he had to deliver fucking hard if he ever actually released a full EP

SO HE DID

Completely involuntary smiling begins.....now!

Native Force

Mothafuckin classiiiiiiic (you may have heard this on the Ristorante Nujabes mixtape sped up and put to a drum track)

Rainbow Brothers

aka the guys from Air fucking around on all their analog synths because they're tired of breathy electrock.

Amon Tobin

NOISE

ALI.I.A.N.

LIEK WOAH

I am so okay with this

A few of my favorite things

I feel like I posted this before, somewhere, but honestly we could all benefit from this going around again.

SBTRKT

Start the new year right - with songs I'm not sure how I feel about!
Tripledit: Yo, no, yeah, I love this song
With genres I'm not sure how to feel about. Ask me about electronic music as a genre!

Liedit-Kynes: This song gets honorable mention for making me very suspicious of its relation to a Towa Tei or a vaguely 2-step Mondo Grosso song I heard years ago but couldn't find. You win this time.
