Witchney Houston’s “T34CH3R5” builds its frantic foundation from samples of Ciara’s “Promise” into a smorgasbord of schizophrenic, haunting, happy hardcore elements that had me reeling from start to finish. Muted staccato drums obliterate wailing, whining synths only to kowtow to its zig zagging partner. As Ciara sings, coos, and nearly purrs, “you can be my teacher, i’ll do homework” the words morph beyond recognition - looping and twittering. A marriage of the unexpected and oh so addictive.

♫ USHER - CLIM▲X (WIK▲N RmX)
WIK▲N’s remix made me stop everything I was doing. Retaining much of the aphotic elements of the original, the remix focuses on a more atramentous acceptance of a finale. It is a little more devastated and sorrowful as the initial “climax” of the song builds to a booming, muted culmination. Basslines hammer away as doleful swan song comes to a close. It is everything I like in a remix - a reworking - a favorable enhancement of potential.

♫ Somadamantina - Doctrina
Somadamantina hails from Spain and serves up straight up, entrancing thug (G♢NGST♢ S♢UND) tracks complimented by booming basslines and lackadaisical rhymes in her Spanish tongue. A sorceress espousing incantations in the darkest hour of night. Her cold, near stoic attitude snakes through the staccato, haughty delivery as the instrumentation serves to accent and acknowledge what she demands. They never overstay their welcome - never overextending what they promise to deliver. Vexing, defiant and confident. Be still my heart.

Unable to accept my fate, I resist until I could no longer dissent. I reluctantly climbed the stairs, sealing the deal you threw at me with no warning. Faces became colder, wrapped in steel and shining metal. It was clear that if I were to be the savior of mankind that humanity was doomed. For I was weak in countenance and my resolve was completely lacking. As I began to protest, once again, I was surrounded by those that would outpower me. Thrust into my duty, I no longer had control over what was occurring. Somehow, my body began to move without thought. Dodging, raising the heavy weapon I was equipped with, until the enemy was completely vanquished before my unbelieving eyes. Sniveling prodigy. Grousing genius.
Yen Tech - neon, animated r&b that often contains hints of happy hardcore and pinches of super-frantic rhythms. It’s like being locked inside technicolor day dreams of motherboards, dayglo street signs at night, mech battles, and 90s r&b videos. It’s engaging, refreshing, and completely satisfying. Drenching your ears in booming basslines, stinging synths and hookable, memorable versus (“meet me on the battlefield/let me see that body on the floor). Effulgent and lustrous - mecha crooner trapped in technology.

My consciousness would struggle to return to my being as I became an inactive participant to unwarranted castigation. Amongst the grinding, the shrill, screaming noises that were overwhelming my ears, I could no longer find myself. Behind the veil of cloudiness, I could distinguish hulking, vexing figures hording over me. Observing. Gleeful. Fingers twitching - eyes rolling back into nothingness as I gripped at my fingers for safety. Desperately, I hoped to discover a clandestine comfort in the torturous chair you so cruelly dubbed my throne. Bones shaved down to nothingness. Insides twisted and pulled as you, full of blithe, destroyed my every nerve, tendons and ligament. You hoped to construct and reshape me to fit your obedient ideal. Full of lifelessness - unable yet willing. Deleterious savant. Destitute dependent.
♈AnglDst♈ creates vexing electronic music full of hallucinatory samples, narcotic vocals, and dredging percussion. It echoes and vibrates - trancelike and hypnotic - like an opiatic magic eye which slowly reveals a sort of bewitching truth. Aqueous exposition.

Your duplicitous tongue clacked and curled as you exhaled another tale of deceit. Huffing and snorting, you nearly choke on your falsities - swallowing the vile backwater that you desperately coax me to drink.
Gasface’s “Lonely” is serene and slightly estranged - an acceptance of solitude. Near motionless, it is static introspection into reclusiveness. Never reaching a breaking point, it clings to and sustains a sense of heartbreak. Forlorn and pining - bittersweet melancholy - a lonesome lament for loss.
