Electronic | Spiderhound Finds Exciting Eccentric Sound In Single ‘Phlame’
Posted by VMan on July 23, 2021
“Phlame,” is one of the more original leaning works that has crossed my path in a while. It fastens together spicy influences from the experimental bass side of electronic music, the single virtually goes out of it’s way to be explicitly original – a factor I am very much digging on. Minimalistic percussion and enhanced effects delivering the exotic atmosphere that the remainder of the track builds on. In a matter of moments, hard-rap vocals come on the scene and preach a message of self-preservation and personal reverence.
The bridge of the track gradually lowers the volume down to a point of near-silence, the next measures bring “Phlame,” back with very light orchestra work and a pinch of melodic vocal verses. As psychedelic as the track begot, it finalizes and leaves a bit of something to ruminate on.
Spiderhound is at the center of the action when it comes to the production work behind “Phlame.” His history is multi-lateral and speaks for itself. Most relevant to this song becoming a reality more than anything is his skill-building being guided by mentors Mr. Bill and ill.Gates, 2 highly respected artists in their own right. Authentic and going for more depth in what he produces, Spiderhound is an underrated, lucky find within the electronic music universe.

Alternative, Pop | Mitch Jones Drops Long-Awaited Debut EP ‘If I Could Go Back’
Posted by VMan on July 23, 2021
Having gained notable traction in the Twitch community over the years, Mitch Jones is transitioning from streams to songwriting with the forthcoming release of his debut EP, If I Could Go Back. Whether it was World of Warcraft, Pokemon Go, or Just Chatting content, Mitch dominated Twitch with natural decorum and has since accumulated over half a million dedicated followers on the platform. Now, the gamer-turned-artist unveils six heartfelt tracks on If I Could Go Back, many of which allude to the passing of his best friend Byron “Reckful” Bernstein.
In April, Mitch took to YouTube to explain why he’s retiring from the streaming empire he’d built over a decade. Titled ‘Treading new waters,’ Mitch speaks on the devastating impact Reckful’s death continues to have on him a year after the fact, and why he feels it is time to explore other avenues. “Truly I had some magical moments as a streamer, and those days are over,” Mitch says. “Every day that I continue just feels like me trying to relive something that I’ve already reached the peak of.”
“I’ve been a full-time streamer for the past 10 years. I became a person that everyone who watched me wanted to see, and it slowly broke down my mental health over time. I lost some of the best people in my life, to death, or just having them leave me for all of my poor choices. In early 2021, Kala and I connected and we started making music together and it has helped me more than any therapy could. I want to write songs to save people who are struggling, just like I’ve been. Thank you to all of the real ones from Twitch who have supported me in this journey into music. I hope the music can help at least one other person.” – Mitch Jones

R&B | Producer Slavvy releases his dark new single and video “Lavender”
Posted by VMan on July 16, 2021
Veteran producer and multi-instrumentalist Slavvy has dropped his genre-blurring new single and video “Lavender”. The channels elements of dark synthwave, R&B and bedroom pop and rolls them into one ultra satisfying deep dive into one man’s tale of hedonism and recklessness. Delving into the darker corners of human-psyche, “Lavender” is Slavvy’s no holds barred statement of “take me as I am” to a lover. Featuring synths with a serious 1980s feel and and a visual (Slavvy and Juan Orta) that optically resembles the cult-classic Nicolas Winding Refn film, Drive or the beloved vaporwave genre. It’s got all the bells and whistles – sensual neon lighting, fast cars, cash, and an unbothered looking Slavvy as he sings about his darker side.
Speaking of the sentiment behind the track, Slavvy shares “Lavender is getting caught doing something you shouldn’t. You’re f*cked up, you’re cheating, you’re out behind your lover’s back, but something is going wrong.” Slavvy explains. “They know you’re stepping out, they catch you, they show up, the person you’re with is on some bullsh*t and you regret stepping out to begin with.”
If you haven’t (yet) heard of Slavvy, you might remember this accomplished producer from his days performing under the moniker Abdecaf. Counting Diplo as a fan, Abdecaf tore up the US festival circuit back in the day and released projects that streamed in the millions. We’re excited to see what’s to come from this talented, multi-faceted artist as he gears up to release his full project “Romantic” in the fall.
