1. "where ya goin?" by whysp.

https://soundcloud.com/whyspthecreature/where-ya-g...

This track has a ton of different moving parts but has constant synth lines or re-occurring tones throughout that give it a feeling of continuity. The changes in rhythm keep it interesting and the synth lines are absolutely infectious.

2. "santa cruz." by vendr.

https://soundcloud.com/vendr/santa-cruz

vendr. pulls you in with pretty rolled chords on the keyboard and then keeps you listening using a catchy synth line and simple beat. This song is so beautiful in itself because of its constant use of the keyboard, which serves as a center point of the track. This song is great to listen to while on a drive or even while doing homework.

3. "Flips and Flops, Drips and Drops" by Electric Mantis

https://soundcloud.com/electricmantis/flips-and-fl...

Electric Mantis has always been one of my favorites and this track is an oldie, but a goodie. Electric Mantis uses an intricate beat as the foundation for this track and adds to it with rhythmic synth lines and, towards the end, surprises the listener by using a bunch of different, fun samples, tying the whole track together.

4. "LUSHBOX <3" by LUCA LUSH

https://soundcloud.com/lucalush/lushbox-3

This track basically combines all of the different components of LUCA LUSH tracks that I love so much. LUCA LUSH completely utilizes his ability to make every line in the song rhythmic, not just the beat. He also keeps it short and sweet, with this track only being 1 minute and 5 seconds long.

5. "L u r i d" by JVSE

https://soundcloud.com/jvsee/lurid

This track has got to be one of my favorite no vocal tracks, with the only voices being sampled snippets. There is something new with every turn. JVSE is able to smoothly transition between different sections of the track seamlessly and constantly layers more and more elements onto the track throughout.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
