1. Yves Tumor – Lovely Sewer
“The tone Yves’ voice has is just next level. Feels like he was born with built-in reverb.”
2. The Blaze – Dust

3. Tourist – A Little Bit Further
“Tourist could perhaps be the best electronic dance producer in the game. This one makes me incredibly emotional.”

“One of my favorite alt-rock bands! Lyrically one of the best, and this song is devastating and haunting!”
7. Chemical Brothers – Wide Open
“I saw them live at Coachella, and during this song, I was being catapulted to Pluto (before we deemed it not a planet). What a moment of transcendence!”
8. Sam Fender – Poundshop Kardashians
“What I love about Sam is how authentic he is, and this comes across in his music! You get a glimpse of what his childhood was like, and that is very moving for me.”
9. Bonobo – Bambro Koyo Ganda
“The low end on this song is insane! What I love about this song is how unpredictable the arrangement is!”
10. Rüfüs Du Sol – Solace
“This song is quite poetic, isn’t it? Feels like I’m letting someone go, but there’s a weird bittersweet feeling to it.”
