IT'S THE BIG ONE. What did you guys make of 'Halycon Sound (Vol. 1)'? Which track of the 8 is your pick? Drop all your thoughts in the comments! 🕊️💙
Every song is amazing! Huge names make some of their best tracks ever. One of the best comps of 2020. I liked how you freaked out on this comp. I hope this record label gets more recognition!
The oolacile track is my favorite just cause of the musicality of it but that phonon track tho
Utah and Emoboy 303
That Bvssic and Akeos & I7 just hit me different. This compilation is sick
I've listened to phonon's several times a day since the energy there is unbeatable
Thank you for the kind words as always!
I'm so proud of everyone and especially of Oolacile and the rest of Halcyon to get this together!
Let us look into the future 🕊
You can't look into the future without acknowledging what's going on in the present.
You are so good at music I can't even explain man. Disgust is a great tune!
@@justalpha9138 Someone stole my eyes
@@BVSSIC Stole them? I only meant to enlarge them. :)
@@andocalrisian1 BVSSIC one of my fav underground artists, such a inspiration!
20:30
BVSSIC really went:
“I’m gonna do what’s called a pro gamer move”
I literally screamed when I heard that switch up
Voltra actually makes me want to quit producing they're sooooo good
@@Wr0zen why not?
@@Wr0zen agree
@@Wr0zen me neither honestly. But i really liked their or her release on halcyon
@@dojetunes this halcyon release from voltra honestly just sounds like a walmart topi track
Is Voltra multiple people?
Every single track on the EP is insanely unique and executed great. My favs here are definitely phonon and leotrix
THIS COMP IS SO GOOOOOOD
Couldn’t have described it better
neuro?
NEURO????
COME ONNNNNN
OMG! that oolacile song was insane! it felt so feel. like if it was tangible.
seriously this is what FUTURE RIDDIM!!
i think, that in my opinion, this sure is music!
More than music
That Voltra track really sounds like something straight out of Xilent's We_Are_Dust Album, one of my favorite albums, so I have high praise for it.
Voltra style sound like Xilent, is so crazy!
When I was editing the video I noticed that as well, was pissed off I didn't notice at first!
Interesting. I wonder if Xilent is one of her inspirations.
This comp is absolutely insane, every song is at least a 9/10 to me, I’m really looking forward to more from Halcyon. My favourite tracks were BVSSIC’s, Leotrix’s and Voltra’s
Absolute jawdropper of a compilation and legitimately hard to pick a favourite.
You can feel the difference in the air with the vibe of peoples reactions - it's like we've been in the desert for weeks and someones just dunked an evian on our heads
Dead heat between Conic Sections, Instance and Disgust for me, but I fucking adore the lot of them :)
Such a sick comp, especially conic sections and angel portal
Good god, what an amazing compilation. I'll quickly run through my thoughts on the tracks in this comp.
SVDDEN DEATH - UTAH:
A really interesting tune from SVDDEN DEATH here, the uplifting melodies on the track are very good at establishing the mood of the track, quite a beautiful tune. The vocals are alright, although I'm not sure they hit the marks they should. There are also some aspects of the production that don't work for me and cause some parts to be a bit messy. However in spite of these issues, there's a real charm to the track overall which makes it very, very enjoyable.
Voltra - Instance:
This track is absolutely brilliant, so much spontaneity and creativity to the track, and the sound design is also very pleasing. The melodies in the off-drops are also stellar, creating a stellar almost cyberpunk-esque mood. The track also stays interesting throughout, with loads of great switch-ups. I will say that stylistically it sounds quite a bit like Xilent, which does make it feel a tiny bit less fresh, however the sheer technical prowess on the track absolutely makes up for it.
Oolacile - Dreams (Data):
This is a pretty good song. The melodies are my favourite part of the track, very full of life and personality, overall the track just creates a very interesting vibe. The ideas are also quite interesting. I do have two major issues with the track however, the first one being that the composition of the track overall feels quite messy and directionless, making it hard to follow the track, and not in a good way. The other is an issue you brought up, and that's that the sound design, while very high quality, gets heavily abrasive and does throttle most of the impact of the melodies.
Leotrix - Emoboy303 (SIDE):
This one is a very pleasant and refreshing track. The sound design is very good, as is per usual for Leotrix, I always love some bleepy-bloopy sounds. Where the track really shines is in the melodies, which are truly awe-inspiring and euphoric, really makes me feel like I'm soaring through the sky. The composition is stellar as well and really elevates the melodies. Only part I'm not huge on is the vocals. Overall a very brilliant tune
Akeos & I7 - Angel Portal:
I love the vibe on this track a lot, very surreal and magical. The sound design is absolutely amazing, it's very digital yet also very earthy (love those growly parts!), and the melodies tap into the surreal vibe of the track very well. The idea is pretty simple, but the simplicity is executed very well, the composition and overall dynamic are really well done.
phonon - Conic Sections:
Good god, this track is absolutely incredible! Much like Polyriddim, the melodies, sound design, composition, and general note placement are absolutely top-notch, creating a really bouncy, sharp, and energetic track. The dynamic between the sounds is absolutely incredible as well, there isn't a moment where it feels like the song slows down. And that neuro drop, my god... The only downside to me (if you can call it that) is that the intro sounds a lot like Polyriddim's intro, I would've preferred a different style of intro, but that's a HUGE nitpick.
Cripplingg - Colors:
I really like the off-drops on this track, they're very surreal and off-kilter which I really enjoy. As for the drops, the sound design is very good and the composition and overall dynamic is very good. However, I do find it to be a bit simple, without too much to grab onto. Out of all of the songs on this comp, this one has the least unique things going for it, unfortunately. Even in spite of that, it's still an alright tune for sure, and what it does it does pretty well.
BVSSIC - Disgust:
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. The intro is brilliant and chilling with some really great vocals, and the drops are so colourful and dynamic, with loads of impact and overall it progresses so well. The switch-up is amazing as well, and in general the track is super creative. I just love this track so much, BVSSIC really can't do any wrong.
Overall, while I don't know if I like it as much as everyone else does given that Dreams and Colors didn't fully hit the mark for me, the good on this compilation is so good and puts so much of the current dubstep scene to shame, both creatively and polish-wise. Halcyon has a bright future going forward as a label, even if the whole future riddim """genre""" is essentially melodic riddim with a fancy name.
I'm hoping that this comp inspires more producers to go this route
Insane review! This is definitely one of my favorites from you call a whip more
My favourite is Utah by Svdden Death. I just love that he is using his own voice for the first time, and I adore the vocals, as I also really enjoyed Getter's Album Visceral. I also love his take on the more melodic/futuristic sounds.
The compilation itself is very pretty, insane producers with lots of potential.
Edit: There's actually no song I disliked
I agree but the only thing I don’t like is how getter received so much hate and Svdden Death is getting praised.
@@Woohty yeah, the hate getter got for his tour and so on is just devastating
Listen to Junkworld by him if you haven't
Aldo Borja think everyone has heard that song by him. Even the shitty bassnectar used to play that out
@@Woohty since the first marshmello collab there are a lot ir newcomers that don't even know Big bang w/ ecraze
Apart from Angel Portal which is easily my least favourite, I genuinely have a hard time ranking everything else. This is easily one of the most ambitious and well crafted comps of the year.
Everyone who likes bass music should definitely follow this label.
I will never look at Riddim the same way... ever again
honestly, disgust is my favorite, and taking into account how much of an akeos fan i am, that's a big surprise but a welcome one for sure. all the songs on this comp are frickin amazing i can't wait to see where halcyon goes from here on out
Conic Sections is so goooood
Someone nerf Phonon quick before he breaks the game
He already broke it with Polyriddim
Why conic sections sounds like a pirate song
@@riokshutt2115 if you like piratey dub, listen to the recent King VIP by Distinct Motive
Phonon has to be artist of the year. Fucking banger after banger.
@@mohnomoosik thanks for the sick track
Best comp of this year so far
Thanks for showing that, I'm definitly going to look at it. I didn't know Halcyon was the creation of Oolacile, love this dude.
To be honest, having very few artists is a great idea for a comp. its more quality over quantity unlike Subsidia
I was actually surprised to see the Assassin's Creed-esque logo in the bottom left corner of the album artwork.
I like that his bracelets are the colors of the cover art
I loved this compilation, it brings the melodic side of riddim out from a lot of unexpected artists, and it just made me so happy.
Someone make a compliation of Nawtystep's Weeeeeeeeeee
Lol mans said my only issue "i wanted more" lmao
This is exactly what we needed. This is the future, and I'm really looking forward to it!
The Leotrix tune blew me the fuck away. Even the key he chose alone is so different than pretty much any edm track i’ve heard, and the melody and sound design are so unique. I could not be happier with this comp.
Laughed so hard at that face 16:12 🤣🤣🤣
Phonon is really broken
My favourite conic section is parabola
@@JohnSmith-vd8nn ellipses are gay.
@@JohnSmith-vd8nn Well their production is pretty rounded but the percussion is not sharp enough
Utah sounds like a Svdden Death riddim version of a Zelda's Ocarina music
its always funny watching connor go nuts
Shame Ponicz is not on this comp.
He's the embodiment of future riddim
Coming back 2 months later, this composite still fuckin great, I love how unique all the songs on here are
Nawdystep reaction was exactly how I reacted to this awesome compilation
Emoboy303 and Disgust are the best, love me some bleepy bloopy stuff and Disgust has an amazing flow
I loved it as well. So creative.
Voltra really amazed me.
One of the best comps in 2020
...wow I love this...
But did u listen to Angel Style by Svdden Death?
I don't think there is a single dubstep fan who doesn't know about that track
Everyone know Angel Style. 😂
Confused as to how you got a copy of Voltra - Instance as it's never getting released???
It's literally on Spotify
I see this meme on voltra comments lol where does it come from hahaha
Kaiodi wow I didn’t know she was even a women lol just found her out because of halcyon! Her music is amazing!
@@Aona_Music voltra is more like a company/brand run by luci who is a woman
@@Aona_Music then why are you referring to basically a band by the member's gender?
Leotrix, Bvssic, Phonon ❤️
What a godly comp
I think im in love. For so long dubstep and its subgenres for me at least have been completely lacking in the melody and creativity which is present here. Dont think Ive really heard stuff like this, at least not so many tracks at once in a comp, since like early 2017 maybe. It really fills me with happiness and almost hope that we will start to see a change for the better in the scene. Maybe finally artists will start adding sole to their tracks rather then them just feeling mass produced. Its the details and melodies that really get me tbh. It just makes the song tell a proper story and gives it life. Instantly followed this label after watching this review and listening to the comp. Cant wait to see what else they have lined up. I also really hope these artists continue with stuff like this (I know some already are), and that this isnt just an experimental one off. Also hope that other artist follow suit. This really has given me a feeling of enjoyment that I havent really felt in ages from dubstep.
If you want some other dubstep this year that has that sense of soul, make sure to check out Nitepunk's EP, it's legit the best thing to happen to bass music in years.
@@andocalrisian1indeed, it's almost like if he blended neurofunk and dubstep, pretty sick!
@@andocalrisian1 yeah loved that ep too!
@@koolhoven6342 I hope you check out Dr ozi as well...he is one of the very few that manages to give u a proper experience throughout his tracks ...IMHO atleast...
I'm really excited for the future of dubstep thanks to these compilations picking up steam! :D
Voltra's track was the best imo. It was like Condukta if he still made music ten years later.
I'll have to agree with the visceral sounding utah, fits pretty well on the track imo.
I wasn't the biggest fan of "UTAH" due to it being a weird mix of melodic (kinda) and Svdden Death's style. Those don't really fit together in my opinion but it is still a good tune. The whole compilation is a very good start for these producers. You should react to the new Sable Valley Records compilation!
MULA MULA MULA MULA!!
Next roundup out Thursday!
8:54 OOOOWEEEEEE
This album is incredible!!!!!! Soo forward thinking and happy and creative and amazing
Best comp of the year so far, so much flavor in this one
Absolutely in love with this compIlation.
Voltra best waifu
What an outstanding comp! emoboy 303 is my pick! :)
Every track is unique and (I felt like that), emotional. I was listenin and literally feelin and super excited Cuz (imo) this is super different.
I wanna more like this in da future
(btw, I was expected this, greetings from México :D)
Dude I miss you
voltra sounds like they could make tron music
0:00 Mate quality right there.
Good. I'm fucking done with the same old kick clap bull. Gimme more friddim
Instance is Probably my favorite voltra song by far followed by shader unit, it's the stuff that now that i know voltra is capable of making i hope it's the only thing that voltra makes
Just perfection!!
Super videogame like! I actually really enjoyed this one! :D
That second Phonon drop blew my fucking brain apart
Best comp of 2020 without a fucking doubt
Disgust by Bvssic is so filthy my gawd 😤
YES
i thought these sensations where lost on 2012 and 2011 and 2010 ... but those songs are brilliant 🥺
my favs were Utah, conic section and angel portal. Least favourite was definitely colors.
Dude Voltra - Instance might be the best dubstep intro I've heard since PhaseOne's Six Feet Deep, felt the exact same way about the whole electrical and futuristic feeling to it. Also Connor if you want to hear another intro with a similar emotion behind it check out Lchavasse - Lunar Abyss
It's not well produced and was made by an amateur at the time but it carries the same feeling production regardless
I don't understand how this is sooo much better than what's on subsidia right now???
Instance kinda sounds like a Xilent track but still amazing
Utah and Angel Portal are my favourites!!
I am waiting for Angel portal since the Akeos 2020 showcase😍
These guys always make me want to quit producing. This is some real next level stuff.
nobody:
nawtystep sliding: *oooooooowwiiieeeeee*
OK LETS GO
WHY AM I ONLY NOW GETTING INTO CONIC SECTIONS
Love this EP, I only wish Emoboy (my fav track) had more bass to compliment the melody! 9/10
RIP headphone users ya voice overpowering that shit 😂
Conic Sections is basically Piratestep in my opinion
I personally like Utah the most, Emoboy 303 is a close 2nd
*Voltra pls spare us, you're killing everyone.*
worst way to go death by voltra
2:37 xd también pensé que ta visceral de papi Getter
You're still haven't reviewed any of the DPMO compilations
Hi cooler whip

Can you review the Head to Head EP?
Tuesday!

Latest Sony model
Nawtystep thanks bro great vid... Emoboy (Side) from Leotrix was my favorite track of the 8
Overblown is the story of every oolacile song lol still somehow works
This time captions said Caller Whipmore
