‘sssnake’: r/ginola’s Venomous Dive into the Electronic Spectrum

Posted on 17 January 2025

With sssnake, the up-and-coming artist and producer, r/ginola, strikes again, delivering a sonic venom that bites hard and fast. Forgoing the usual slow-burn build-ups, the track hooks instantly, plunging listeners into a speaker-slamming anthem that meshes bass-heavy EDM with hyper-pop chaos. The glitchy techno interjections and euphoric house swells create a kaleidoscope of sound that refuses to play by the rules, colouring far beyond the conventional lines of electronica.

Building on the foundation of his first official release, Edgar Allen Poe, a genre-defying electrotrap banger, r/ginola continues to scribe his unique sonic signature across uncharted auditory territory. While his chaotic approach to production lands firmly in the remit of modern trends, his distinctive style carves out a space that’s entirely his own.

sssnake not only showcases r/ginola’s adventurous approach to sound design but also hints at his potential to become a trailblazer in the EDM scene. With a tighter structure and a little more polish to his sound, he could be poised to dominate the electronic frontier.

sssnake was officially released on January 17th; stream the single on SoundCloud and Spotify now.

LA’s GiNN 諸葛靖 dropped a darkly debauched dancefloor-scorching electrohop anthem with his mindfully mantric hit, //MHM//

Posted on 10 January 2025

LA’s GiNN 諸葛靖 is back with a swagger-soaked, unapologetically bold new single, //MHM//, dropping on 10th January. It’s a jet-black, body-moving juggernaut that hammers home his mission to bridge cultures and tear through genre boundaries in one fell swoop. The track bristles with a sense of unrestrained hedonism, but there’s an empowering undercurrent too, as GiNN commands us to trust our instincts and slam the door on timid self-doubt.

Charged with grit and fuelled by a pulsing bassline, //MHM// is precisely the kind of track that carves its own niche in Electrohop. As soon as the thundering beat kicks in, it’s clear GiNN has taken care to ensure every element lands like a knockout punch.

Recorded in Chengdu, Sichuan, and spearheaded by GiNN as Executive Producer, Composer, and Lyricist, the single joins a litany of cross-continental influences that shape his bilingual style. He’s deftly woven Mandarin and English hooks into a propulsive arrangement that feels underground-ready and crafted for the main stage.

With creative support from Otomic on arrangement and audio engineering, //MHM// simmers with dark tension before bursting into a thunderous assault of bass. GiNN’s low-slung vocals add an air of edgy mystique; there’s no mistaking his raw self-assurance as he urges listeners to own their choices. Lyrically, it holds true to the mantric backbone, turning a simple “mhm” into a resolute statement of intent.

GiNN’s commitment to celebrating his Han-American roots remains a vital part of his artistic identity. He’s proven he can hold sway both online—racking up more than 50K followers on 抖音—and on monumental stages like 88rising’s Head in the Clouds festival in Guangzhou.

//MHM// will be available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify, from January 10th.

Becky Raisman started a ‘Love Revolution’ with her latest EDM anthem

Posted on 9 January 2025

It’s rare for authenticity to seep through the polished veneer of an EDM mix, but Becky Raisman dismantles expectations with her standout single, ‘Love Revolution’. Nestled within her ‘Peace, Love and Harmony’ three-track single, it’s more than just an earworm—it’s a pulse of pure, unadulterated euphoria.

Raisman’s approach to production stands apart from the formulaic tropes of the genre. Her infectiously twee, endlessly endearing vocals glide effortlessly over beats tinged with nostalgic nods to 80s pop aesthetics. Instead of homogenising her harmonies with autotune, she allows their charming idiosyncrasies to take centre stage, proving that imperfection can be just as impactful as polished attempts at ‘perfection.

The anthemic rhythm invites you to lose yourself in a soundscape built for communal elation. Flanked by the equally impressive tracks ‘Feeling Groovy’ and ‘Harmony Blooms’, ‘Love Revolution’ amplifies the ethos of its parent project: unity through sonic bliss.

Raisman’s beats may be meticulously crafted, but it’s her knack for threading emotional resonance into every loop and drop that puts her in a league of her own. With ‘Love Revolution’, she cements herself as far more than a beat maker—she’s a curator of moments that resonate far beyond the confines of a setlist.

Love Revolution was officially released on December 3rd; stream the single on all major platforms, including Spotify.

For his 81k monthly listeners and beyond, this track is an invitation to revel in the alchemy of pop at its most sincere and unflinching.

Ennoverse – OOT: Electrifyingly Eclectic Dub-Heavy Downtempo

Posted on 22 October 2024

In his debut single ‘OOT‘, the up-and-coming Aotearoa, New Zealand-raised artist and producer Ennoverse stitched his eclectic past into the very fabric of the entrancing instrumental while embracing his unique sonic identity.

OOT pays ode to the electronic pulses of Ratatat and Pitch Black, the disco grooves of Lindstrom, the classical arcs of Rossini and the raw hip-hop energy of The Beatnuts and Cypress Hill. Fusionism fuels the downtempo, dub-heavy beats of ‘OOT’, a track that nods to the pulsating aesthetics of the ’90s rave scenes and innovates with a modern twist.

His use of phasers, strobing synths, and reverberant basslines crafts a space where the listener is compelled to engage their rhythmic pulses and reflect in equal measure. Each element is ingeniously constructed, resulting in an instrumental that drips with funk and electrifies the senses.

While ‘OOT’ is just the beginning, it’s a powerful glimpse into what might come from Ennoverse.

OOT was officially released on October 11; stream the single on SoundCloud now.

Spyndycyt existentially unravelled over a four-to-the-floor Avant-Garde beat in ‘I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore’

Posted on 12 October 2024

Spyndycyt’s latest single, ‘I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore,’ amps up the sonic signature scribed through his prior releases, giving the electrifying track a pulse of EBM while keeping true to his erratically eccentric vocal style as he unravels over a narrative of existentialism and frayed with chaos strobing synth lines.

As quirky and kinetically rhythmic as Neuroticfish and The Gothsicles, as experimental as, well, it’s pretty hard to draw a comparison in that domain, this latest single from Spyndycyt proves how succinctly he can command a four-to-the-floor beat that injects symphonic elements of the 90s rave scene.

It’s a broadsiding tour de force that is undoubtedly as effective at altering your brain chemistry as electroshock therapy. Bite down on this exploration of mistrust, betrayal, and the crushing, ever-growing suspicion that all your deepest and unspoken fears are true.

Contrasting the dark thematic undercurrents of being a terminal disappointment, the solo artist ensures that I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore oscillates through euphorically rhythmic hedonism to sugar the pill you will want to swallow time and time again.

I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore is now available to stream on SoundCloud.
