last.year 2022 review

Image
  Last.fm came out with a last.year on like January 1st... So why did I take a month to post it? I don't know. BUt what matters is that IM GETTING IT DONE. I can't quite remember everything, but if I were to characterize my 2022 music, I would say:  - nurture by porter robinson  - raise the black flag by teminite  - home by stessie  - simulation by virtual riot  - COLOUR BASS everywhere Other than that, there's glacier, infowler, aiboahn, tritonal, monster cat compilations, seven lions, midnight kids, halvorsen, mazare, jack shore, puppet, skybreak, laszlo, ghost dragon and more with those phases.  ANyway, let's provide some commentary to that screenshot. I kind of wish Musician was my top track, but it is symbolic to hvae thunderstruck continue dominating... but still. 2022 was kind of my year of "Musician" with finding all my hard work in cubing go to display, the YPSO tour, inked.beats launch, and marching band emotions. Musician would resonate with...

2021, the best year of EDM | Last.year review

Image
  2021 Virtual Riot's multi-genre colorbass album "Simnulation" Teminite's Pirate-themed dubstep/electro-house with organs, pirate samples, insane loops "Raise The Black Flag" NCS moving exploring hip-hop while maintaining its core elements New music from so many artists that it would be a pain to list it. Lost Sky revolutionizing vocalising old tunes Personally, I discoevered Glacier, became deeper into Monstercat tunes, and enjoyed my new favorite genre: Melodic Dubstep Hyper Potions fun releases 2021 was the year I discovered Glacier, Man Club, Teminite, AIKA, Hyleo, Stessie, Unknown Brain, Ellis, Elephante That's how I think my 2021 year went.  Last.fm basically tracks your spotify account and additionally provides annual reports, ranging from so many different types of statistics that you will see. When I first listened to "Believe" on my Discover Weekly, I was blown away by the saxophone solo. This had a dramatic influence.  Unstoppable E...

TOP 5 ARTISTS, 2021!!!

  2018 version It's been 3 years! Glad to see I still love EDM. Let's see how my taste evolved... I just want to say I wish I could include everyone here: Glacier, Grant, Ellis, Axol, Elephante, Tritonal, Daft Punk, Culture Code, Retrovision, Elektronomia, Porter Robinson, San Holo, Hyper Potions, Zedd, Halvorsen, Diamond Eyes, MDK Those artists right there basically encompass my entire EDM taste. Outside of EDM is a whole different subject. FULL OF TALENT. NCS has progressed a lot into glitch hop and progressive house ever since and Virtual Riot introduced me to the world of melodic dubstep. The complexity within straight growls and transformations in the drops, finalized by beautiful, powerful, fulfilling chords. There's so much creativity in melodic dubstep.  Here are my top 5 favorite artists currently and the songs from them that I thoroughly enjoy. I offer more analysis as I get closer and closer to my favorite. 5. Stessie Bloom Atmosphere Candy Heart - BLOOD CODE Fre...

2020 last.year

Image
I kinda ditched this blog during November 2020 and came back to it for like a week in April 2021. During that period I missed the annual last.year review. Well, now it's October 2021 and I guess I'll review 2020's last.year LOL https://www.last.fm/user/wizwilzo/listening-report/year That URL probably updates annually so I'll accompany this post with the images. This is the overview. You can conclude that NIVIRO absolutely dominated, most notably  Fast Lane  and  Dancin' . Those two tracks are STILL in my playlist 10 months later, I'll never get tired. Fast Lane is such an emotional track, especially the synth break. The two note contrasts just blend so well with the iconic NIVIRO synth pads. Dancin' is an upbeat track that features the catchy "I'm only thinking about..... dancing." That phrase is so catchy and it's such a banger track in general. I won't go in-depth. Other than that, you can see that I discovered Virtual Riot. Owl City,...

oc(REVIVED XXIX) playlist Review (part one)

Image
YOOO WHAT IS OGING ON WIZWILZO BACK AT IT AGAIN aight guys I literally didn't post at all during spring break and decided to post on the first day of school -_-. SO what did I do during Spring Break?? I can now call myself a pro gamer bro. This game was insane it was a solo squad and i had such a good snipe. Anyway every day at around 2:00 during spring break me and the bois would grind zombsroyale.io and boi man it's so fudging fun. Anyway I'm going to do a playlist review. Straight up the last one I did was XXII which was 7 playlists ago. THis playlist is pretty special as I've discovered a lot of new songs that I really love. Dimensions – Last Heroes -This is a track by Last Heroes that features lots of wavy synths and reminds me of "mortals" by warriyo for some reason. It's a very intense song with very sharp beat drops. Very intense and emotional song filled with pride. The beginning is like an orchestra-built symphony ...

New Years songs 2019-2020

THE BEST BEAT DROP OF THE YEAR GOES TO: Over Again – RetroVision, Micah Martin runner-up will be announced during the awards.  The Nominees were: Stay with Me – Christina Grimmie, Diamond Eyes Memes – NIVIRO Disconnected – Various Artists, Pegboard Nerds -First Drop Excision – Kevano -Last/Third Drop Stop – RetroVision -First Drop ILY – Axol -Second Drop Flutter – Diamond Eyes Over Again – RetroVision, Micah Martin ILY – Axol Starship – Grant Yes I believe this is the best beat drop of the decade.  Right at 15 seconds the lead-in starts with nice synth pad chord progressions and the drum roll has a sharp fade and the best and most creative part I like about it is the gun reloading sound. That gun reloading sound is such a good way to peak off the beat drop and paired along with the stutter to line things up the synth break immediately hits. So yeah the beat drop has a lot of fantastic components to it and is creative, something I ...

How Accurate is the Spotify Wrapped?

Image
Hi, If you're a spotify listener you probably have looked at your spotify wrapped, which is a website that shows your top songs and highlights that you listened to this year, since spotify tracks what you're listening to. The final ranking was a bit surprising, too surprising. Was congratulations by PewDiePie really first? There were a lot of slight errors. Spotify wrapped most likely rigs it and puts some #10 artist on your top 5 just to make you surprised, so you will share it. But how rigged is it? I have last.fm which tracks every song you listen to. You can just connect it to your spotify and I started tracking form October. One of the confusing things about last.fm is that instead of a "play" like "you've listened to a song 10 times" they say "you've scrobbled  a song 10 times." They have their own unique word called a "scrobble" xD. So whenever you see the word "scrobble" you can just translate it to ...
