"Up High" - Sofasound
Sofasound just released his Surreal EP, featuring 10 tracks as diverse as it gets. "Up High" marks a highlight in the tracklist, immediately getting into action with a low-pitched vocal sample that leads into wonky madness, dominated by groovy synths and sharp drums.

"mariuh" - maxime.
Not too long ago, maxime. ditched his old maxd alias, opting for a more indie, vocal-focused sound. It's working perfectly for him, and "mariuh" is a testament to that, as he kills the quirky, lo-fi instrumental with great vocal work and songwriting.
"Another Round" - Lost Identities X Onyra
In a classy fashion, Lost Identities and Onyra manage to put together an explosive tune with "Another Round," out via Lacuna. The epic instrumental perfectly supports the vocals before saws and vocal chops take over for the drop.
