Noisestorm – Escape
Noisestorm is one of the best bass-based artist on Monstercat, hands down. Noisestorm mixes his classic melody and wall-of-bass style with a catchy overall production – a sort of “old with the new” modern poppy bass feel that is totally him, totally Monstercat, and undeniably badass.
KANDY & Milkshake – Type 1
“Type 1” is a classic in so many ways, classic trap sound, classic sound that would come out of the Cavity Collective, ect. The tune features the infamous high rythme bass style that KANDY is known for and the melodic bass style new Milkshake listeners are beginning to get a feel for. These two were a match made in heaven and, by the SoundCloud play count alone, is clearly paying off.
IZII – Birds
If you’re not familiar with IZII, then this track will be the perfect introduction for you. With vocals from the talented Powder Room, “Birds” is a unique track that has perfect vocal chops and powerful chords.
HXV – Where Do We Go From Here
With his first release for the new year finally here, HXV is ready to unveil his new sound. After recently exploring new tempos, sounds, and textures, “Where Do We Go From Here” is a flawless representation of that. He left it “purposefully minimal and cavernous” to leave it up to our interpretation.
Steezy Jaxxx – Locked
Back with another bass hit, the Orlando native “Steezy Jaxxx” is here with Trapstyle Prime. “Locked” is a heavy trap tune that will have brass horns slicing through you with every stab. Make sure to be on the lookout for more of his upcoming tracks!
