It's back to my typewriter as I try to whip up some descriptions on some hand-selected goodness.

EpicFail (ft. NessaKay) - "Sunrise" [Exodus, LJ MTX, Jason Risk Remix]


This is one of my personal favorites. This progressive-house track is a sleeper, as it takes a full two minutes to get to the bass drop. That is to say, what you spend in patience is rewarded with a drop(s) that is nothing but pure energy. The people who made this song did a good job in transitioning between the smooth, harmonic parts and the bassline drops. Another thing I like about this song are the lyrics. This line in particular makes the track for me: "Dream of days when we were young, breathing in the rising of the sun." Overall, I feel that the lyrics bring a reflective tone to the piece. I was young once, so yeah, that one line does evoke an image of taking in a sunset, looking back on some parts of my life that were more care-free.

I tried playing "Sunrise" for my dad, who is no fan of this kind of music, and he said it sounded like the vocalist had indigestion. I don't think that's fair, as this was coming from a guy who is obsessed with fidelity and flat music. He probably had trouble processing or understanding the editing/stutter effects properly, as he's not used to groove music. Anyway, I love the vocals on this, so I'm going to chuck it up to the fact that he doesn't know what he's talking about. :/

Of the videos available on YouTube, the highest view count for this version of "Sunrise" was a little over 3,000. Without a doubt, this track is criminally underrated.

Static Function (ft. Avielle Breen) - "All I Want"


Some darker, vocal dubstep. I found this while doing a completely random search on YouTube. From time to time I will do such searches, on purpose, just to see what I can find. This was some time back when I found this; it's been awhile since I've conducted such a search, although it's a reminder of how many times I've been able to find ace tracks that aren't anywhere else. The reason I clicked on "All I Want" was because I liked the background art, but I certainly wasn't disappointed with the music, to say the least. Crunchy tune.

I'm going to stay crisp by finishing off this entry with another dubstep tune from 501.

501 - "Vulture" [Protohype Remix]


Nothing like dubstep with both melody and crunchiness at the very same time.
