It’s Tuesday and we’re back for another round of Powerful Picks! We have a nice ball of yarn stopping by to deliver one slamming EP, your favorite extraterrestrials and some Monstercat friends. Kick back, crank the speakers, and get ready for our hand-crafted selection – this is Powerful Picks.
Twine – Threads EP
If you need a serious bass injection, then stop right here and look no further. Twine’s Threads EP is five tracks of pure bliss with some aggressive wobbles and mind-melting synth work. With each tune standing out from one another, but still staying within the same realm, you’ll quickly find the satisfaction you’re looking for by consuming this full album.
RIOT – Aiwa
Out from the powerhouse label, Monstercat is “Aiwa” from RIOT. This slamming release is one that features a middle eastern influence mixed in with the classic American dubstep sound. As you take a journey through this track and travel across the desert feeling buildups, you’ll be thrown into a world of darkness when the song drops.
ATLiens – Exile
Get ready for a serious bass invasion from the Atlanta-based space duo ATLiens. Their latest tune “Exile” will have you questioning the limits of electronic music as they continue to push the envelope for what can be crafted. With a hybrid feel and some upper echelon sound design, you won’t want to miss out on their takeover of Earth.
Duumu – Forward (feat. E?MIA)
Closing us out this week is Duumu with “Forward” out on Monstercat. This feel-good tune helps to break things up this week and lift spirits with the flawless and jovial vocals of E?MIA. From the future bass drop to the hypnotizing melodies, you’ll be lost in this convivial tune before the first chorus hits.
