I've been a lot busier recently with university, but now that i'm getting used to the routine i think i can find some time back for ts :) so since ive been away for a lil bit, i'll share a handful of songs this time:
- PS! Username: locri
- Song: Flume & Eprom - Spring
- Genre: Future Bass
- Description: Flume is back with a brand new album and this track is by a landslide my favourite. The changes it tempo along with the syncopation make this track very unique while still being very pleasing and comfortable, something you wouldn't expect from such a chopped up track. I absolutely love the feeling this track gives, too, the vocal chips and the vocal pads make it very sweet and calm, but it still has that nice backbone with the steady beat.
Now for the next two songs, I'd like to cover a bit of an underrated tool of music production I feel: remixes. People often look down on them as if they're inferior to the main song, but I actually think several of them exceed the original and provide an awesome twist on it, without further ado here are two remixes I've been quite digging as of late:

- Song: Louis The Child - LOVE (Tails Remix)
- Genre: Future Bass
- Description: Tails makes great use of the original's vocals, reharmonizing them in quite the intriguing take, with plenty of tension and almost some dissonance, and it really conflicts with the lyrics. This would seem odd, but then it's all explained in a chill easy going drop that starts playing as soon as the lyrics say "it could be that easy". Honestly, I love when the lyrics and the ambience of the song interact like this, makes it feel like one unifies song and Tails did a great job bringing this up. The fizzy drop then continues and bridges into a second verse but this time harmonized in almost a more mature nature, I feel, it still keeps the happier vibe from the drop but not fearing to try new sounds, the build up then goes back to that joyful style once again, almost a metaphor that we're all still kids and things really could be that easy if we want them to.

- Song: Illenium - Crashing (DROELOE Remix)
- Genre: Future Bass
- Description: While the first remix might have won in the cohesiveness category, this one takes the cake in plain enjoyability as arguability my favorite track this year so far (very prone to get overthrown by another track from DROELOE soon, though). DROELOE starts their remix by having a verse with just the vocals and a low pitched synth bringing a new context to the vocals, and honestly, I love this part. They way they just highlight how beautiful these vocals from Bahari are while still providing their twist on the tune is impressive I'd argue. The break then develops into a more upbeat and happy DROELOE-style to accompany the vocals in which the persona ask to stay over, this can be viewed as a sort of metaphor that she really does enjoy the presence of whom they're sleeping with, of course, this is kind of obvious, but the upbeat feeling that begins at this part really does a great job at emphasising it. The song then goes into a gorgeous yet uplifting drop that — honestly — just brings a smile to my face everytime, the way it blends Bahiri's vocals with DROELOE's synths is just poetic to me. The song then keeps the same vibe of before, kind of implying a sense of repetition of the fact she's sleeping over, over and over again. Even disregarding the story the song tells, just that pure fizzy DROELOE beat alongside Bahari's outstanding voice already makes this quite the track, I love it!
