when i listened through the tracks you chose for your playlist, i was often reminded of a bunch of tracks / artists / feelings i got from other music i love. i wanted to catalog those thoughts here for this follow up “citations” playlist. :)

heres the playlist:

[https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0m2e0VMCgGmM2PqxERbWgq?si=e615753edecd41ae](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0m2e0VMCgGmM2PqxERbWgq?si=e615753edecd41ae)

annnnnndd here is the breakdown. :)

### CO1N

The beat/production on this one reminded me of my friend [tobre](https://www.instagram.com/tobremusic/)’s work. kinda subdued in terms of direct transient impact, but still kinda phasey and hyperpoppy w choppy vocal style and detuned heavily mixed basses.

the end section / chorus reminded me a lot of c2.0 by charli just because of the soaring vocal over a choppy kinda build section that is building by nature of just adding elements which increases intensity.

### Аутсайдер

this one reminded me of the feeling of augen auf! by oomph. not necessarily sonically similar, but like dark dancey brutalist creepy vibes.

upon listening to augen auf, i realized they’re not as similar feeling as i originally thought, but i still thought u might like the song :)

### Dark Blue

this tune had BIGGGGGGG close your eyes vibes. and close your eyes has big chuck era sum 41 vibes so i wanted to show you both of those artists :)

the songs **dark blue** reminded me of have actually ended up being my most on repeat songs over the last week. i was so grateful to be reminded of them. i particularly think **the body** is a sleeper. kinda boring at first honestly, but i think it might be my fav of the three when u let it marinate.

### Trash Snacks

it was mostly vocal layering and effecting that i heard in this one. reminded me of the ö remix of lifeline by ag cook.

### Forte

moore kismet is sonically in a world of their own with foley and glitch edits i think, but their chord sound design is definitely reminiscent of a lot of the genre leaders here. i think mostly mumbai power by skrillex and various mitis + other lovestep/melodic dubstep evolutions would be applicable here, but i wanted to show you the stabby chord sound design songs that MOST have impacted me in my life. here’s one that i absolutely adore and spin almost every dj set:

and then while i was building this playlist, spotify recommnended this track to me by an artist i have REALLY been getting into lately. super cool! and honestly it just fit the bill for stabby clean chord sound design so i figured i would include it! :)

thats all for now folks
-----------------------

thanks for sending me this playlist! i really enjoyed it and have been listening to it a bunch! it was also really cool hearing music that you liked remind me of things that i have loved for quite some time! pretty much all of these songs (with the exception of the underbelly tune) i discovered at least 6 months ago, and that sum 41 track i was listening to when i was in like 4th grade.
