Albums, Pop, Trap | Toyko Share Exciting New Hyperpop Single “Looking For Fun”
Posted by VMan on March 26, 2021
Following their distorted trap ballad “How Do You Sleep at Night?,” as well as their massive album Body Pillow, Vol. 2, Toyko are back with a brand new hyperpop gem, sharing exciting single “Looking For Fun.” Made up of Los Angeles-based songwriters/producers Matt Wiggers and Zac White, Toyko is a collaborative effort that has seen considerable success over the past couple of years with releases on labels such as Lowly, as well as a string of boundary-pushing singles.
“Looking For Fun” is without a doubt one of Toyko’s most exciting tracks to date: a short yet sweet single that compiles everything we love about the duo: distorted bass, attention-grabbing lyricism and playful melodies. Starting off with an atmosphere filled with bright piano and strings, “Looking For Fun” quickly transitions into an uplifting anthem, driven by groovy drums and a creative vocal arrangement. As Toyko explain:
“When I was writing the song lyrics I was writing them from my experience of just being kinda socially awkward. It might just be my internal monologue- but sometimes I get this impression that when I first meet new people I’m extra reserved and come off as uptight/shy. But then there’s this other side of me that once I just cross the boiling point of barely knowing someone I really put my full weird/crazy self out there and maybe go a little overboard. These sorts of behaviours I have combined with a previous history with alcohol/partying are what kind of fuelled the narrative in this song.”
Electro | Paris Hilton Makes Cameo In Electric Polar Bears Music Video ‘Melting’
Posted by VMan on March 21, 2021
Electric Polar Bears have seriously outdone themselves in this music video. Their MV for original single, “Melting,” features none other than Paris Hilton, a pioneer of ‘being famous for being famous,’ as well as, virality altogether, giving the video a serious bump when it comes to online attention and viewership. Yet, even with a massive cameo from an A-list celebrity, Electric Polar Bears stick to their roots here, showcasing stunning visuals with a sun-kissed atmosphere and a glitzy, feel-good storyline.
The audio side of “Melting,” doesn’t get compromised here in the least. From the start a high-octane, rhythmic synth fades in and begins delivering it’s impression. By mid-way through the song, a pumped house beat and seductive vocals fill the gaps and catapults the experience to a new-found level. Plenty of moment capturing sonic elements built in here.
Electric Polar Bears clearly knows how to out-due themselves and take the vibe to the next level, “Melting,” being the next strong example of just this.

Bouncy, bass driven, and energetic, Movimiento EP is a refreshing change of pace brought by young Miami-based Lvndo. Movimiento contains just 2-tracks but certainly speaks volumes, packing serious heat in what is about a 5-6 minute experience – which leaves you wanting more.
With the first track sharing more grit and the second getting a bit more melodic, the two works balance each other out and highlight many sonic positives Lvndo brings to the table.
The solo DJ/producer has been releasing on a more serious level for over 5 years, the pulse of his progress in his career and development being able to be sensed track by track.
Lots of potential and a feisty energy embedded, Lvndo is not one to sleep on and nor is Movimiento EP
