Not sure how many Rezz or even electronic music fans there are here, so I'm interested to see the response.

Rezz released this single from her upcoming album yesterday.

I'm a huge Rezz fan, and this song is awesome, but I kind of hope that the full album will have some more variation. I like the song, but it came on autoplay earlier today and for a second I questioned whether it was from Mass Manipulation. It seems like Rezz is rehashing the same formula just a bit too much. Sure, every artist has their sound, but I kind of expected something a bit different.

A new, relatively unknown artist that I think has been incredible so far is 1788-L. He sounds like a mix between Porter Robinson and Rezz. I hope Rezz can add some more variation to her distinct sound to make it a bit different, similar to 1788. Maybe the upcoming deadmau5 collab will be promising in this regard?

What do you guys think? Again, overall, great song.

Are there any fans of Kanye West here? Kanye just released ye and I'm really liking it. My favourite song is probably Ghost Town, the vocals and production on that track are amazing imho. What are your thoughts?

My personal theory is that this is similar to the phenomenon of "Don't Stop Believin'" having a surge in popularity in the late 2000's. I know that was commonly attributed to the song's use in the finale of The Sopranos, is there a similar usage of "Africa" that triggered its sudden prevalence in popular culture? What did I miss?

(Not a complaint, it's reminded me of how great 80's music is and I'm listening to an 80's station right now).

Looks like it's been about a week since @Flashynuff's post, so I figured I would make one for this week. As seems to be tradition, I'm going to borrow @Whom's description :)

What have you been listening to this week? You don't need to do a 6000 word review if you don't want to, but please write something!

Hey everyone!

I was recently exposed to a new website called Song.Link. You can search for songs, albums, or artists that you like, and generate a link that provides access to the music you found in all of the major music streaming services.

Song.Link

I think it'd be great if we could make it standard to post a song.link when possible!

Edit: learning to markdown

Anyone have any good stuff to put on for just a chill weekend morning?

My usual go-tos are
-Salad Days and 2, Mac Demarco
-Wakin On a Pretty Daze, Kurt Vile
-Random Spotify jazz playlists
-What's Going On, Marvin Gaye
-A couple of Wilco albums

What do you guys like to play to start off a morning right?
