YetepI’m a devoted EDM enthusiast, and sometimes I am often drawn to the “popular” artists dominating festival lineups. While these artists have earned their status for a reason, I strive to keep my playlists dynamic by exploring new sounds. If you find yourself in a similar quest for fresh music, I’m thrilled to introduce these five tracks from relatively unknown artists. Dive into their discography; I’m confident you’ll discover tunes that resonate with you!
“Symphony of the Dead” by Stoned Level
Stoned Level, a dubstep DJ, employs a blunt, almost machine-like style, capitalizing on heavy bass effects and simplicity. In this track, Stoned Level emphasizes chord progressions that evoke a cinematic feel. Coupled with heavy bass notes, it creates a dubstep-at-the-theater vibe. With impeccable production, it won’t be long before Stoned Level consistently graces festival lineups. If you’re a basshead, this song is tailored for you!
A true banger that deserves a spot on your repeat list. Beginning with a video game-like feel, the melody unfolds into a captivating chord progression. As it builds up, you sense the impending aggressiveness of the drop. “Aggressive” is an understatement, as the drop unleashes a piercing dark melodic bass note, complemented by beautiful sound effects that transition between the heavy notes. If you appreciate dark melodic bass, this song is a must.
“Syrah” by IMANU, The Caracal Project, Maria-Lea
IMANU and The Caracal Project, while gradually appearing on more lineups, remain relatively undiscovered. This song, challenging to categorize, relies on complex rhythm and intricate sound production, creating a blend of drum and bass and house that elevates your auditory experience. With top-notch production, it’s the perfect track for your post-work commute.
“Hyperreal” by Meduso
A bass wave masterpiece played by LSDREAM on his latest tour, this song is a banger. With an absolute deluge of heavy bass, it creates a wave effect that makes you feel like you’re swirling around in it. Tailored for space bass enthusiasts, this track is destined to become a staple in your playlist. Don’t miss out!
“Fuck Off” by Abelation
Concluding with a more laid-back tune, Abelation showcases mastery in production. It’s only a matter of time before the world discovers him. This vibey track, enriched with space bass elements, creates an ambient and calming atmosphere during the drop. With fluctuating space bass notes, it’s perfect for a late-night drive when you simply want to unwind.
