What So Not - Jaguar





Perhaps Sonny Moore, more commonly known as Skrillex, has been so quiet on the production front solely because he has been putting extensive effort into curating new talent for his killer label OWSLA. That is what appears to be the case when you review the his crop of fresh talent both young and old. "Jaguar" by What So Not is what we at SYNTH consider one of the best releases from the label to date. What So Not defies genre in countless ways with their "future bass" sound that sucks you in with soaring vocal highs only to crumble into a vicious trap breakdown that leaves no octave of sub bass untouched. And if the track wasn't enough of an experience, they also have an incredible music video to accompany their monster track. If you enjoy this track, which we ensure you will, make sure you check out the rest of their catalog. What So Not is definitely an artist to keep an ear on, they are truly massive.

Revolvr - Almost Home EP



The newest release from Ones To Watch Records comes from the talented Revolvr.  Both tracks are strong efforts in their respective genres, but we can't get enough of "Contact".  A powerhouse electro track with extremely catchy synth lines and handfuls of bass, it's exactly what we like to hear.  In "Almost Home", Sherry St. Germain gives a fantastic vocal performance, backed by solid melodies and rhythms, making for a great two track EP.
