20250228
haven’t done a roundup in a while but i feel extremely obligated to because february 2025 has been a legendarily great month for music.
dancing with your eyes closed by jane remover
i do not say this lightly – this might be the best song jane remover has ever made. i am unbelievably excited for revengeseekerz.
industry corporate freak by syzy
after last year’s excellent excursion into future riddim, syzy returns with some incredibly phenomenal ~125bpm electro house type stuff.
valentine’s day freestyle ‘25 by JPEGMAFIA
in which peggy takes a brief break from scaring the hoes. also, if i had a nickel for every song on this list which proudly proclaimed that it was unmastered, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot, but mastering engineers watch your backs.
ass2mars (squarepusher remix) by machine girl and squarepusher
squarepusher remixing machine girl is something you would make up in order to use as bait in a trap for me specifically.
restarter by miya lowe
miya lowe fka evaboy continues her phenomenal explorations of the landscape of footwork and 160 techno.
style by 2hollis
it should actually be illegal to be as talented as 2hollis while also being as hot as he is.
two house by food house
food house is fucking back. tony hawk’s nonbinary child is going to save hyperpop.
saoirse dream self titled
meanwhile, while food house is bringing back 2020 hyperpop, saoirse dream has fully completed her exit from the sound and is now serving up some explosive fifth (sixth? i can’t keep track) wave emo. fans of exciting!!excellent!! and portland, OR dwellers everywhere take note.
ghostholding by venturing
meanwhile, while jane remover is pushing hyperpop into new and incredibly bold directions, she is also releasing her side project venturing’s first full-length project of straight-up indie rock dream pop shoegaze heaters.
tiara by weatherday
this new weatherday album is shaping up amazingly.
you can by cubenatural
for fans of breakbeats, here’s some very good ones!
