Song of the Day: Griztonics – GRiZ & Subtronics

Song of the Day: Griztonics – GRiZ & Subtronics

“Ooh this shit be hittin’ different”. Perfectly described. The collaboration between GRiZ and Subtronics (bet you can’t guess where they got the name of the song from” is so infectious that people who don’t even like EDM can’t help but dance to it. It starts off like any other big room type with large, in-your-face, brass-like synths but after the drop we get a smooth, almost fluttering synth that is just so smooth. This back and forth continues throughout the song giving it a bouncy texture that’s irresistible. It’s incredibly popular for DJs to include in sets too because of that amazing first hook, so you’ll surely hear it time and time again.

If you’re not familiar with GRiZ, he hails from Michigan (but currently lives in Denver) and his productions typically fall under some slightly different EDM genres like glitch hop, electro-funk, and future funk. Similar artists to GRiZ include Big Gigantic, Gramatik, Pretty Lights, KOAN Sound, The Floozies, and Paper Diamond. His live sets are amazing as well as he’s an expert on the saxophone and breaks it out nearly every set.

Song of the Day: TIME – Alison Wonderland x QUIX

New from Alison Wonderland and QUIX, out of Australia and New Zealand, respectively, TIME is a beautiful, psychedelic take on future bass. Starting with a slow build with a sharpening synth, the first drop is a false drop that helps build the core of the song towards the true drop. The clock ticking sound fits perfectly with the song title and helps build that tension into a full release. This is the kind of song you’d hear at a festival and think “woahhh, what was that?!”.

Song of the Day: We Do – R3HAB

Song of the Day: We Do – R3HAB

R3HAB is back with a new release “We Do”, a collaboration with Noah Neiman with an accompanying vocal performance from Miranda Glory. When R3HAB first emerged onto the scene years ago, he had a much harder style with buzzing, intense synths and big drops. However, over his last few releases, his style has softened a bit in a smooth, sophisticated way. You can still hear some of the elements that he’s known for and that’s what makes his take on the more and more popular future bass style so enticing. The music video for the track will immediately make you want to take a vacation so be sure to check it out.
