With the advent of electronic music came the ability to create innumerable genres with sounds that, previously, could have never been conceived. On this week’s Hot & New playlist update, Audius celebrates electronic music across genres and around the world!
Well-known label Slow Roast Records makes their Audius debut with their latest offering, “Warcry” by Omicasa. This track is the newest from Omicasa, a collaborative project between legendary turntablist Craze and Matsu. A relentless punching bassline establishes a palpable intensity for “Warcry.” Then, a quoted sample introduces the rest of the song’s elements. Keeping it minimal but effective, Omicasa establishes an addictive bounce in the song with a pulsing metallic synth. “Warcry” presents an amalgamation of influences from different genres, including Latin music, Afrobeats, classic festival trap, and even experimental bass.

DJ_Dave unveils their newest single, “Array.” Making music with code, DJ_Dave’s unique approach to music production yields a sound that is both technological and celestial. “Array” is no different, uploading listeners into their technicolor atmosphere.

DJ_Dave’s coding production takes a calculating approach to music and produces something beautiful and pearlescent.

Mija, a producer who rejects the boundaries of genres, teams up with bloody white on “NO RULES,” the first track off of Mija’s upcoming EP. “NO RULES” embodies a sexy intersection between the grit of bass house and the dark hypnosis of tech house. A bass riff sustains throughout the entire song, alternating between rumbling and smooth. Vocal samples further immerse listeners into a warehouse where strobe lights flash. Irresistible and almost mischievous, “NO RULES” belongs in clubs and on late-night festival sound systems.

This playful track is reminiscent of Britain’s early 2000s garage sound, blending angelic tones with a springy 2-step bassline. “Phantom SP” glimmers and jumps, inspiring new listeners with this timeless genre and reinvigorating those with a long-time love of garage music.
