"focus five"

Defying genres seems to be a part of Rome In Silver’s DNA. With influences ranging from rap and future bass, to trap and drum & bass, you’re never quite sure what to expect from the talented producer except for a wealth of quality. Rome was an early standout in our Focus Five series before absolutely amazing us with his Quality Goods…

Future beat is quickly becoming one of my favourite genres. The blend of stellar vocal chops, shimmering synths and just the right amount of knock, combine for the perfect sound. One artist who’s been consistently killing it within the sound is Afrosamuraiist. The UK producer has continued to amaze us since landing a spot in our Focus Five segment last year.…

Last month we highlighted MEMPHIS. in our Focus Five feature. The Toronto based producer has commanded our attention with his impressive output and consistently impressive releases. Today MEMPHIS. returns with a collaboration alongside DIEOM. Off the title alone, ‘PROPHECY’ sets the tone; it’s brooding, mystical and ominous. “By definition, the word prophecy means ‘the foretelling or prediction of what is to come’ and in my own personal…

“yojas. is a must for any trap lover.” These decisive yet accurate words capped off our feature of the LA-based producer in our most recent Focus Five segment, and we’ve since premiered his latest heater alongside Trashar titled ‘Shudder‘. Arguably the hottest up-and-comer in the trap realm, yojas. has been making waves with his hard-hitting beats, and this statement is…

yojas. recently caught my ear and landed a spot in our Focus Five segment. With an incredible original on Quality Goods Records and three stellar flips released in just over a month, he’s one of the most promising up-and-coming producers right now. Proving this further comes a collab with New Zealand’s own Trashar, a rising star in his own right.…

Despite constant claims that SoundCloud is dead, the platform continues to be the lifeblood of the underground. It’s the breeding ground for innovative new sounds and THE place to find the best new artists. While the volume of quality is higher than ever, the mass of mediocrity is equally at its apex. Thankfully there are a number of underground labels…

The New Zealand bass scene has been on fire as of late. Earlier this year we had mixes from some of the country’s best up-and-comers: t1r and Troy Kete. Today we can add another to the list, as ASHEZ comes through with a heavy new mix. For those unfamiliar, ASHEZ has been burning up the scene with a slew of…

Our eyes (and ears) have been on capshun ever since we featured him in our Focus Five segment a few months back, and we were fortunate enough to have him do a guest mix and interview for us in August, too. Although deployed overseas, the Dallas-based soldier continues to produce in his free time, and has recently put out a…

Rome In Silver is having quite the breakout year. After landing a spot in our Focus Five segment back in June, he further showcased his talents with his incredible Spirituality EP on Quality Goods Records in July. Today he returns with what is destined to be his biggest release to date in ‘All I Want’. Backed by bitbird, the single…

After landing a spot in our Focus Five segment a few months back, Milano continued to impress us with the wild release ‘Slither’ and it seems he’s only getting started. Today the sound design wizard is back with yet another mind-rattling release entitled ‘Pucker Fish’. “The title is kinda random, I was sitting in the kitchen working on the project file…
