SHERWOOD – WOOOOZY
Sherwood is a secret behemoth in the scene – a staple of underground visuals, curation, events, and networking. But even beyond that: he’s a talented producer, and we’ve been blessed with the first new Sherwood tune in a while! WOOOOZY is a short-but-sweet exercise in bassweight indeed — filtered drums and eerie drones lead us…
STYLUST – DARK & DANGEROUS DUB
Good lord almighty, this tune has it all! It has it all, I tell you! Don’t make me smack the counter again, come over here, by gawd, and listen to this! Right now! Stylust graces our ears with a lead tune off of the upcoming DDD Decades LP – with a Munchi-esque high pitched lead,…
JOYRYDE – 4AM (HOAX FLIP)
Imagine rolling around in the back of a beat-up Grand Prix, two clapped-out 12″ subs rattling the trunk as you’re frantically trying to roll up a swisher before your cousin gets back from the corner market. It’s raw, gritty, and unapologetically fun—perfect for anyone chasing that underground, dark warehouse feel— that you can bring to…
YUM.YUM – TASTEBUDS
yum.yum is a newcomer to the blog but a heavyweight amongst the heads tuned in on Soundcloud and Discord. A duo that takes no prisoners, with a track that leaves nothing left to be desired. TASTEBUDS is a tune that dunks your head in the concrete mixer, and then sloshes you around a bit, for…
THE WIDDLER – FRANKENSTONED (SPIKE RIGHT FLIP)
Tomorrow is October 1st. You know what that means. Spike gets out his fluffy boots and pumpkin spice drinks. He’ll put up ‘fake’ spider webs around the house. He’ll put up ‘fake’ skeletons in the front yard. He’ll send out ‘fake’ Happy Halloween emails to the rest of the staff. Whatever.. Anyways – we’ve got…

SIRSTEEZ – JUMANJI JAMMA
Back in the cut, with a wobbly little joint from SIRSTEEZ himself. Jumanji Jamma is a summer, sun soaked, exercise in percussion and sub bass. Throw this one on while you head out for your morning commute – and try to pretend like the world isn’t as fucked as it is, eh? https://linktr.ee/SteezGrowsOnTreez SirSteez ·…
THYSBE – THE WAR STAR w/ SHERWOOD
This track hits me in the soul in ways that other tracks wish they could. It means extra when it comes from a pair of friends – and mastered by another as well. It takes a village, and Thysbe is this villages town crier: screaming in the square, demanding your attention – but politely, and…

DOJA CAT – PAINT THE TOWN RED (OBEYGREY BOOTLEG)
I mean, who’s gonna stop me from posting my own music? Spike can DM me on Discord all he wants but it doesn’t change the fact that I changed his password a week ago and it’s too late for him to stop me from posting my own tracks so to be honest he’s lucky this…
TUNIC – SUNK (ERIE SOUNDS)
TUNIC is back on the blog with a behemoth tune – a combination of slurky bassline, reigned in and slappy snares, and percussion fills that slam your head against the locker before running away to consumer education class. You know, the one where you learn how to bake cookies and chew Redman tobacco. Wait –…

ANKOU is back again with a wicked and wild one. From the jump – ULTRAVIOLET is a tune that grabs you by the scruff of your shirt and shakes you all around like Hagrid on a bad day. THE FUTURE is a mixture of dub sirens and distortion – transporting you to the trash heap…
