A Sprinkle of Nostalgia: DECAP, RAC, Efza & more! Hot & New 8/19

Like the Fibonacci sequence, music continues to grow and expand on it’s previous renditions as time passes on, yet still manages to revisit familiar points. On this week’s Hot & New playlist update, Audius travels through time to revel in the influences of the past on these latest drops!

Renowned and innovative producers DECAP and JNTHN STEIN team up for an easygoing yet stimulating trap beat titled “GAME.” Incredibly reminiscent of Team Supreme beats in the early SoundCloud days, “GAME” embraces breathing room and spaces between bars and samples. The production styles of DECAP and JNTHN STEIN are impressively complementary, but their individual signature sound designs stand out throughout the track. Rife with textures and playful riffs, “GAME” has us thankful that this trap sound persists on Audius today!

Making their Audius debut, freshly budding electrofunk producer 10mg Gummies uploaded their tracks to our platform this past week!

Multihyphenate musician ROMderful unleashed a collection of previously unheard beats onto Audius! This eclectic selection contains several of ROMderful’s unique edits of several beloved chart-shattering tracks, including “Feel Good Inc.” by Gorillaz and “Just Fine” by Mary J. Blige. With the release of two albums this year and his ongoing tour of them, it seems right to highlight their remix of Childish Gambino’s “3005!” ROMderful utilizes sounds comparable to 1980’s video games while weaving in lyrics from the original track. Take a dive into ROMderful’s fresh batch of beats!

In the same celebration of uploading music from the heart instead of the business mind, RAC shares a “random idea” named “eh v0.4 demo.” A bouncy beat indeed, RAC shows off his love for inquisitive and emotive synths in this lively soundscape. Curious and perky, this demo may have been just a random production itch to scratch, but RAC makes this rascally beat feel complete nonetheless.

Turkish vocalist Efza shows off her beautiful, throaty singing in “kendileri,” her latest single. Overlaying melancholic indietronic instrumentation, Efza’s shines in shades of rich golden and wraps lusciously around listeners like a thick stormcloud made of silk. While the instrumental is undeniably modern, Efza’s stunning hypnotic voice is truly timeless.
