Dessa, try album IDES. Feminine rap. Discovered via Doomtree when i thought their Boomerang video was hilarious.

I was shocked by how much I enjoyed APESHIT by the Carter, it also helped me discover Formation by Beyonce. I don't really enjoy her other songs but those two are rad.

I like everything, so there are very few genres or styles of music that I don’t expect to ever like at all.

Well raggaeton is one of them…

But man, have you guys listened to DATA by Tainy? It’s actually fucking good.

My main gripe with raggaeton has always been the samey and honestly uninspired production.

I know Bad Bunny had a banger last year, I haven’t listened to the whole album. But I didn’t love the few songs I heard.

But man DATA is awesome. It gives me Dawn FM vibes. It’s dark, very synth-genres inspired, and I do get an OPN vibe from it. Maybe that’s why I loved it tbh.

If you guys haven’t listened to it, give it a try. Specially if you like synth-genres and experimental electronic music, but don’t like raggaeton.

Randomly heard the track "Hollywood Baby" by 100 gecs in a store or restaurant or something. It instantly hooked into my brain and I'm still not sure why.

So so many examples of this.

I'm normally into ndh, industry and electronically, with some metal thrown in. I did however get a good surprise by the following musicians/bands

• Dirty shirt
• Otyken
• Shahram Nazeri
• Sofi Tukker

Maybe not the last time, but the last time I remember stumbling into a new genre. Mdou Moctor completely blew me away. Nigerian psychedelic rock meets folk and blues in such a unique and beautiful way.

Incredible musicianship, catchy songwriting, really easy to get lost in the music. It’s not something I ever sought out, it was just mentioned in a Reddit thread.

I was surlrised by two different pieces: To Ponemo Stithous Mou (Giannis Parios) which is improvised and it's incredible + Chaser (Mammal Hands) because I found it in my savdd music but didn't know how and when I found it and I was surprised by how I liked it

MONO - Hymn to the Immortal Wind was a really pleasant discovery for me recently.
