Something to look forward to on Mondays
What To Expect From PUM
This is the first episode of the Playlist Update Monday (PUM) series. I know, you’re probably wondering what is all this even about. Don’t worry, I will explain everything. It will be like this. Each Monday I will present you with 5 new tracks that you can add to your playlist. I want to share new tracks I find with you because I hope you will find them amazing, just like I do.
I will try my best not to pick mainstream music. I want this series to revolve around music you haven’t heard yet. You can count on it always bringing you something you didn’t know existed. If you’re tired of hearing the same TikTok songs everywhere you go, but don’t want to spend hours looking for some actually good music to listen to. I got you!
As for genres, I don’t want it to be strictly established, so I can let my creativity flow. Sometimes it’s gonna be a little piece of everything, sometimes I will pick a song in one specific genre. It basically depends on how I feel like doing it that day. XD
That said, the music featured in PUM will mostly fall into these genres: trap, dubstep, and bass. I can’t wait to explore more sub-genres of said genres. All I’m gonna tell you for now is, that it’s gonna be melodic, experimental, and colorful. Let yourself be surprised.
Now you know what to expect from PUM. I hope you won’t forget about it and come back for the next episode.
My Thought Process Behind This
Let’s jump straight to the first episode. I made the first week’s episode in the melodic dubstep style. Let me tell you more about the making of this episode.
I started it all with the FLOTE remix of Just Pretend. I heard this tune earlier in one of FLOTE’s YouTube shorts. When I was thinking about what to include in this PUM episode I somehow rediscovered it. I love Just Pretend too much not to put it in here. And the melodic dubstep vibe? Maybe not as popular anymore, but so good.
When I was looking for some remixes of Said The Sky songs, I found his Roses remix accident. It is not officially released, he just posted it as a sound on TikTok. Fortunately for us, Vexaic made a full-length remake of the remix and posted it on his YouTube channel. To play it on Spotify use YTMp3 to download it as audio, then you can play it as local files. You can do the same thing with the Just Pretend remix.
As for the rest of the songs, I was looking for songs similar to my melodic dubstep favorites You & Me by Bassnectar and One That Got Away by Jason Ross & Dabin. It wasn’t as easy as I expected. I couldn’t find anything at first. Then, I went through a list of underrated melodic dubstep artists and listened to a few songs from each of them. I eventually found what I was looking for.
