Albums are a labor of love and offer a glimpse into an artist’s universe where they create entirely new worlds. With a full-length album, an artist can truly flex their creative muscles, crafting a more cohesive piece compared to a single or an EP. Because of that, an EDM album is often dynamic, exploring different facets of an artist’s style beyond just their primary genre.
Welcome to “The Greatest Album by Album” series, where we dive into albums that I believe belong in the top echelon of the industry.
LSDREAM – Renegade of Light – Released in 2019
LSDREAM, formerly known as Brillz, has made his mark in the space bass genre. As one of the leading artists in this realm, LSDREAM is a prime example of someone who follows their passion with intentional, genuine effort, making the world a better place in the process. A true headliner, LSDREAM has graced festivals and venues across the country for years. He masterfully combines funk with space bass, showcasing an amazing touch when it comes to sound design—creating complexity in the simplest moments while maintaining structure and avoiding overcomplication. LSDREAM continues to push the genre forward, and fans keep eating it up (as they should).
In 2019, LSDREAM released Renegades of Light, a groundbreaking album that vaulted him into the spotlight. This album showcases his production skills with a wide range of songs—from funk to powerful chord-dominated drops to space bass sounds that tickle your brain. “White Magic” is my favorite track, starting off spacey before leading into a second drop that feels like a force of light shining through the clouds with a powerful bass drop obliterating everything in its path. “Rekt” and “Expand the Universe” truly transport the listener to space, both with infectious beats that are impossible not to dance to. “Eternal Now” is a standout track, with its second drop delivering a flurry of powerful chords that hammer the listener’s heart. The album ends on a chill yet highly emotional note with “Ace of Cups,” an ambient, reflective track that showcases LSDREAM’s focus on meditation and healing through music.
LSDREAM is a true light in the industry, promoting wellness, healing, and so much more. His take on space bass is iconic, and he has a unique way with his songs that is hard to come by. As LSDREAM continues to push his sound forward, more and more people will see just how amazing he is. Here’s to hoping it lasts for a long time!
