So the summer break is over for us back at Goldmyr, I hope you didn’t miss us too much. With so many things happening around the EDM scene, it’s hard for us to keep track of everything that’s being released, especially since we were like 2 months away.
Anyway, one release really got my attention. As much as I love mau5trap for it’s good selection of music that varies from Glitch Hop to Electro-House, there is yet another aspect that makes me fall in love with this label. It’s the fact that they promote new and unknown artists. And their latest EP does JUST that.
The artists promoted on this compilation EP are:
Tom Neville: I really enjoyed his progressive house track, even though I’m pretty sure I never heard of him before. It’s nice to have another talented producer around the scene, though he needs a lot of improvement.

Tom Staar: The same story as the above guy, though I like his track a little more than Tom Neville’s. But that’s my opinion, I may just like it more because it sounds more like mau5. You never know.

James Njie: Most of you already know this guy from the compilation EP released on the same label, Meowingtons Hax Tour, where he had two of his tracks showcased. Nevertheless, his track is one of the better ones on the album, James once again proving me that he is one of the better producer out there.

Heat Maxwell: The EDM enthusiasts may have already heard about Maxwell and his impressive remix of Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know. While he wasn’t an extremely good producer when he released that, I can tell that he improves. In my opinion, uprising is the best track on this compilation EP. Good job Maxwell, we want to see more of the same in the future.

Born Freak and Buddygirl: I put these two up together because they are so similar. These two young producers are the future of progressive house. And I am not talking about the boring, club style progressive. I am talking about the real, chill out one. Their tracks left me speechless.

River Accorsi: Wow. This guy. His DnB talent is out of this world, if not even out of this universe. It’s amasing what a guy can do with one bassline and a basic beat. Just. Intense. I recommend checking this out by yourselves, I’m too into the bassline to tell you about the whole track right now *hypnotized*

Kairo Kingdom: I’m gonna be straight here. I never heard this kind of glitch-hop before. Maybe because the only glich-hop I listen to is from Opiuo. Not really sure. But this track is simply catchy, and I bet the real Glitch-Hop fans out there will agree with me. You will… don’t you?

Henry Gould: He’s not that young, but his producing skills are still good. He is not going to be the next Tiesto, but he’s on track. This guy scared me a little bit. Not sure if it’s because he looks like that guy from the Harry Potter series (the bad one that had the smeagol like thingie as a pet) or because his track’s title is taken from a porn movie gone wrong. Either way, it’s worth checking this guy out in the near future.
