Rohith Shaker drops sober debut single “Lake Misery”

Phoenix-based artist, Rohith Shaker has just introduced himself to the music scene with the release of his debut single “Lake Misery”.

On this single, Rohith attempts to relish in the remaining pieces of life before it all comes to an end. The single was created during the peak of the COVID pandemic, hence the theme of “losing time” being strong. Lake Misery sees Rohith Shaker long for moments which have been slipping away from him. The song’s woeful feel and Rohith’s melancholic delivery contributes to the feeling of loss. Despite the main message of nostalgia and losing time, Lake Misery also dives into the complexities of a romantic relationship. Rohith delivers an otherworldly experience with the delivery and chorus, as well as the production which was handled by Mario Yniguez.

Rohith Shaker’s “Lake Misery” debut is a perfect preview of his artistry and ability to draw listeners into a world he created.

Sey drops MF DOOM-inspired 2 pack “MF Sey”

Rising superstar and MC, Sey has decided to bless fans with the release of his “MF Sey” 2 pack.

The 2 pack which was inspired when Sey heard MF DOOM’s “Rhymes Like Dimes” on Spotify, sees Sey show off his insane rapping ability. Sey had a verse in the vault he wasn’t using, and it fit perfectly with his creative direction so he decided to use it on the self-titled track on the 2 pack. However, Green Hill Zone which was produced by Deadlex and Sey’s brother sampled the Sonic soundtrack and sees Sey rap on a more up-tempo beat. The production, lyrics, and delivery on this project makes it everything but unforgettable.

Sey uses this 2 pack to remind the world that he’s here and his pen game is not to be played with. He also uses it as a warmup or prequel to his upcoming project with Deadlex. Stream Sey’s music here!

8485: "Scribbles" and It's Hard Hitting Glittery Experience.

8485 is someone who has proved themselves time and time again so, between her quality and consistency on many EPs as well as the high production teaser video released, we couldn’t wait to press play on the newest song from 8485. “Scribbles” featuring Drainpuppet is an electronic, bright, and crazy mix. You have the glittery synth leads bringing you into a new world almost immediately as they build and build into a nice electronic soundscape until, ultimately; crashing into a mean bass with wild filters and movement. The drums are punchy and quick with not a single hit over staying its welcome. This song really brings me back to masterclass OSTs in different media from the early 2000s. It’s fast and spacious, almost as if the tension is slowly and slowly building until you’re finally in that chase scene with gated synths and fast paced drums leading your legs. The song itself even has a nice resolution as a whole by almost slowing everything down for the final chorus. The track still keeps a great pace but, shifting the drums to half time here really made the song and the, themes of figuring out life on your own, really begin to feel real here. It’s emotional, nervous, and triumphant all at the same time. A great listen for any electronic music fan but, also for anyone trying to put all the pieces together.
