Got It Like That by Able Heart

GREAT verses, pretty good chorus, and one of the worst hook/drops he’s ever made comes in to ruin it. Those 808s have no place in this slinky, vaguely Spanish love jam. Also, I owe the artist an apology: the beard is actually working for him now. I should’ve trusted the vision.

Tussi Lvd by Deorro & Clave N

BORING. An uncharismatic, lifeless rapper over an uninspired House beat.

PERO LIKE by Dillon Francis & Good Times Ahead

MTHFKZ

…is the old, good Dillon Francis back(with a little help)?

Under Pressure

Hmm, maybe not?

Listen featuring Fatman Scoop

It’s a little weak on melody but I could see it growing on me.

Humo featuring Valentino Khan & Dixson Wax

Mid!

Peluca featuring Aaar & Zairah

A throwback and not a good one. Reminds me of Dillon’s mostly awful Latin pop album from a while ago.

Moombers

Stupid name aside, pretty good!

LA On Acid

Still boring!

Gold Dust (ILLENIUM 2015 Remix) by Galantis & ILLENIUM

Inaccurate, as there’s way too few white people using the n word for 2015 ILLENIUM to be involved.

huh by glaive

Nope! I do not want pitch-shifted vocals from this guy! Next! (Beat sucks)

It’s Our Destiny (VIP) by IMANU

Stuttering, liquid bass music anchored by mesmerizing breaks.

Where Do We Go Now? by Lil Nas X

It’d be funny if this very conventional ballad charted higher than the controversy-bait lead single. (Update from the future: it didn’t)

IN MY ROOM by Marty & McKenna John’s

Corny, production is pretty decent.

Batida Bass by Masayoshi Iimori

The GOAT returns after a pretty quiet fall and winter. Straddling the line between Trap and Dubstep, it’s yet another helping of the artist’s captivating and idiosyncratic sonic choices, all lending to a bombastic listen that doesn’t overdo it despite a handful of unconventional creative choices.

Person (Angel Mix) by Petal Supply

Amazing! While the original will always be special for how well it fuses VERY disparate sounds, this proves it can just as easily lean all the way into Petal Supply’s traditional, blissed-out electronica.
