It's interesting to me that although I've been talking more about music I haven't been listening to as much. I have been enjoying things like the Polyphonic series of vids. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhSIGPra2ss

Still, I have tabs so let's visit with them.

Beats Antique have put out some interesting collaborations and collections lately. This track, an edit by Rufus Rabatz, caught my ear particularly for how it uses its layered drumming, in styles I'd call Native American particularly, along with instruments that sound like samisen or other traditional Japanese. But then you get Tiana Frolkina name-checked and she's both Russian and associated with "tribal" bellydance styles. So I dunno. I just like it.

In a similar, but much more Eastern European-centric vein, I give you Andrea Szabadi's "Deep Water" as interpreted by SvaraBorska (https://www.facebook.com/SavaBorsaMusica). They call it a "handpan"; I call it a hang. Apparently there's some controversy around the term (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handpan). Whatever you call it, I love the sound and music made with it such as this.

dvsn is new to me and honestly I forget which set I pulled this out of. It's got a very strong r&b feel to the vocals, but laid over heavy electronic beats. Definittely a name to check out in the future. Unfortunately the YT clip - despite apparently being the official audio - seems chopped at the end.

Patrick Smyth's remix of "On Fire" is one of those songs that reaches into me and touches my heart. The original (second link) is a deep deep house track with the bass set so low it's almost under the floor. Smyth brings it up and speeds things up a bit. I have a hard time choosing between the two

I've been hanging onto this set for, literally, months, trying to figure out what music entry it would fit into. As the title says, it's "Emotional" and all the tracks seem to focus on feelings, both expressing and invoking. That's one of my favorite things about music in general, and EDM in particular. This set contains a number of high-bpm bits, some nice trance vocals and generally lands bullseye in what I'd think of as a "valentine's day" playlist. There, I found a reason to put it into a music post.
