Walter The Producer is immediately infectious with their most recent EP title track, “Roadtrip.” Bridging the gap between classic indie folk and indie rock, recording artist Walter aka Reid showcases an experimental take on blending elements of both genres to create something fresh and inventive. 

Fans of Steve Lacy and Tame Impala will instantly connect with this sound. A mixture of delay-ridden guitar and inventively layered vocal melodies add to this experimental blend of genres, suggesting more of a pop influenced musical style. We look forward to hearing more from this artist.

Underrated artist, Theophilia, has released their debut single, “For Igor,” a dreamy, euphoric soundscape reminiscent of the hyperpop genre. This song appeals to our nostalgic side. The vibe reminds us of synthwave 80’s music, with an uplifting and upbeat feel that can only be described as modern and fresh. Fans of Electric Youth and hyperpop artists like Charlie XCX will instantly feel at home with this musical style. 

It serves as the perfect middle ground between dancing music and music to sit back and soak in. The ability to balance modern, catchy, fun sonic capabilities within the studio and retain that classic synth sound is a difficult task. Theophilia seems to have cracked the code. We look forward to future releases from this artist.
