GiNN 諸葛靖 Darkened the Sphere of EDM Hip-Hop with His Seductively Entrancing Hit, Dizzy

One hit of DizzyGiNN 諸葛靖’s biggest single to date, which has racked up over 141k Spotify streams—slams you straight into a dark intersection between EDM & Hip-Hop.

Fans of both genres have had no trouble clocking the ingenuity behind this dark, reverberant, pulse-commandeering anthem that drags you into rhythmic submission.  GiNN’s bars become a magnetic focal point in the track as they wrestle the thick, pulsative progressions into line, a feat few could pull off without buckling under their own ambition.

Every progression is a juggernaut, hell-bent on stomping its influence onto the dancefloor and sinking into your synapses. It’s seductive but never salacious. Instead, it’s powered by the raw magnetism of GiNN’s enigmatic presence.

As a Los Angeles-born, Chinese American starving artist who grew up drifting between East and West, GiNN 諸葛靖 channels House, Techno, DNB, and ATL influences into his own Electro Hop blueprint. The lyrics may be indecipherable at times, but who cares when the vibe slaps this hard?

Stream Dizzy on all major platforms, including Spotify.

All isn’t fair in love and war in Orval Hill’s progressively immense alt EDM hip hop single, Nowhere

After a strikingly sombre alt-pop prelude complete with beckoningly harmonic vocal lines which pull you into the emotion of the release, Orval Hill’s latest feat of ‘schizo rap’, Nowhere, slams right into a body-rocking EDM hip hop anthem with scuzzy bass-drenched beats to pound your speakers to oblivion around the minor key piano stabs.

Nowhere is the ultimate testament to Orval Hill’s ability to wildly juxtapose the next progression against the last to accurately portray the off-kilter nature of the human mind. We like to fool ourselves that we’re rational creatures, but we rarely let logic get in the way of emotion. Orval Hill stays true to our animalistic proclivities while delivering contrasting declarations to prove that all isn’t fair in love and war. If anything encapsulates the clusterfuck of dating in the modern age, it’s the off-kilter exposition within Nowhere.

Nowhere is now available to stream on Spotify.

Withajay offers serious distinction and groove in their high-fire Alt EDM Hip Hop single “Tell Me Why”

Any Saul Williams fans will definitely want to jump on Withajay’s recently released single “Tell Me Why”. Their combination of House and Hip Hop offers some serious distinction, groove, and earworm potential.

The entrancing beats and the flawless meter in Withajay’s playful rap bars along with the nuances of Indie weaved into the mix made Tell Me Why a track I will never forget. Mostly because the wit-soaked hit ended up on my Alt Hip Hop playlists before it had the chance to ran through.

The adjectives ‘experimental’ and ‘ingenious’ don’t often go hand in hand. But with Tell Me Why, you get to simultaneously appreciate the authentic flair and the ahead-of-the-curve commercial potential.

You can check out Withajay’s latest single Tell Me Why via Spotify.
