Recently dropped in the highly anticipated Members Only Vol. 3, Bass Santana snaps on this track. Sampling anime Elfen Lied is one of the cleanest use of sampling I’ve heard in a while and this is easily my favourite track from the release. LINKS Soundcloud Twitter Instagram

Brockhampton recently dropped their debut album Saturation and it has been getting rave reviews across the board. The ‘Boy Band’ consists of upwards of 10 members, the most prominent of which being Kevin Abstract, and are all incredibly talented for their age. It is rumoured that Saturation II is on the way and I haven’t been more excited for a release in some time, going off Abstract’s solo material and both Saturation and debut Mixtape it is obvious that the group has so much more to offer in the future.

Syringe is an artist under the collective weirdclvn and is one of the more prominent artists in the group. Negate has been out since 2015 so it isn’t necessarily a new track but I have found that most of Syringe’s earlier releases fly under the radar of most fans. This track has one of the simplest yet hardest beats I’ve heard in a while, his delivery is quality and the intensity of this track as a whole reminds me a lot of Danny Brown’s latest project. If you haven’t heard of Syringe before this then I suggest checking him out, he may seem outlandish at first but he has the potential to be huge. LINKS Soundcloud Old Bandcamp Bandcamp Twitter

TREY CHOPS has been releasing music since way back in 2013 and has an already sound discography under his belt consisting of EPs and Mixtapes. Double Team is the closing track from his latest EP Something Different and it is my personal favourite from the project. The smooth production and strong delivery compliment one another perfectly on this track and with TREY being so young I can only imagine what he will be capable of in the coming years.

FEEL IT by gosts is a song that was released back in 2012. Unfortunately they have not released any music under this alias since 2012 and it’s a shame considering the obvious talent they have. This is a powerful yet upbeat track that has Witch House influence throughout (which may be due to it being released at the peak of WH’s popularity) and comes together as one of the best examples of the genre. gosts was a member of the now defunct Immaculate Collective, which another prominent member, Lovedied (stylised  L♥ѵʒﬦɨϵﬦ), took his life in 2011. I can only assume that this would have contributed to the lack of music from gosts in recent years. RIP Greg Sattan. LINKS: Soundcloud Bandcamp IC YouTube

One of the best collaborations in my opinion. A minimalistic and dark track that keeps in my head most days, it’s a damn shame that Lil Netzero is no longer producing under this alias or in the same style. tones_ is one of a hugely talented artist that is still releasing tunes on Soundcloud and is certainly worth looking in to.

kyddiekafka, a member of the Withered Collective, released this track on his downfall EP. The heavy bass complimenting the pitched-down vocals, along with all other components of the track, comes together to be what I consider a work of genius. Definitely look out for kyddiekafka in the future. LINKS: Bandcamp Soundcloud Twitter Facebook

VVITCH a Witch-House producer that I’ve seen becoming more prominent in the genre as of late; with good reason. A fine construction of soulful singing to compliment the heavy bass, symphonic strings and semi-trap beats. I am  keeping a close eye on this artist and if you’re a newcomer to the Witch-House genre then you definitely should too. LINKS: Bandcamp Soundcloud Twitter

This track has something to it, as do most other ECO VIRTUAL tracks, that I find incredibly hard to describe. This song manages to give me a sense of nostalgia without having previously experienced it before. My only wish is that it were longer, but I still bump this on repeat for hours when I need to relax. The title also roughly translates to Cannabis Smoking at Stonehenge. LINKS: Bandcamp Twitter YouTube

falling. by instupendo. This track is oddly captivating and, honestly, one of the most moving pieces I’ve heard as of late. The blend of lo-fi piano, minimal drum beat and subtle bass creates an atmosphere that completely absorbs me. A remarkable and resonant piece. LINKS: Soundcloud Twitter Facebook

plastic taste by joji. Joji is quickly becoming one of my favourite artists of this year, this new song was released on his Soundcloud today and it has a distinctive vibe that not many artists can encapsulate. LINKS: Soundcloud Twitter YouTube

break by lyric walls. A fantastic tune that samples FKA Twigs’ Pendulum and inverts it into a down-tempo beat with an atmospheric bass that sits beautifully with the sampled vocals. lyric walls is a new member of Clouds Collective, a Soundcloud based label that contains a variety of artists; all curated by Clay Sauter & Charles Lyons.  There isn’t an album announced for this song but lyric walls is most certainly an artist worth checking out.

hyperspace by dontleaveme. This is currently released under the HEAL record label but an album hasn’t been announced for this particular song. dontleaveme has produced under various other aliases throughout the last two years, some of which include LOV3GHOST, ダブル SUICIDE and Angels Spit. I have been following this artist for quite some time and discovered their music mid-way through last year and have since been amazed by their extensive back catalogue of releases. This is an artist who you should definitely keep an eye out for and check their Discogs page(s) for reference on all of their previous releases. LINKS: Bandcamp Twitter Soundcloud Instagram VK

Strange Dies, Too by Dolor. Released on the album Gun City earlier this year through his bandcamp, it serves as one of my favourite releases of this year.  Along with the release of Dolor and Lorn’s DRUGS collaboration record there seems to be no better time to check out these two talented artists.
