Virtual Riot was actually so back. He got Nawtystep to pause and rewind multiple times while he was listening to the full album on stream. That's how you know Virtual Riot is built different.
As expected, EXHALE has been a long waited ID for 3 years ago since Control Freak's set from somewhere, idk. It's no surprise you placed in last because Control Freak's dubstep is nasty af.
The Diva remix was uploaded to YT as a prize for the remix competition winner, which was SØL. While I also prefer the original I wouldn't call it unnecessary imo, congrats to them! Must have been huge!
I… dont think Somebody With You is French House, cos i mean when do you hear samples in that song? Its a fucking banger tho, deffo the grooviest song of the month on mcat
HIGHLIGHTS: Flow VIP, Bunny Hop, Lean Onto Me, Use My Love, Breathe Underwater LOWLIGHTS: Exhale, Foul UNIQUE: Taste Like Hell, Overstimulated Best of the Month: Lush, Stealing Fire LP This month has definitely been the best this year, and there's some good stuff that's BO24-worthy!
Understandably it’s not your style, but months like these really makes me wish you gave Silk a nod. All 3 sides of Monstercat were on fire, and it helps people see how good of a month overall October was for the label. Missing out on some pristine music. Never the less a great ranking
Yeah I hear you guys but ranking instinct & Uncaged is hard enough lol. Even if I listened to silk and was into it I feel like I’d have nothing of substance to say about it and fitting the silk songs in between everything else would be a pain, sorry :/

Best month of the year?!?
Not necessarily the best month of the year imo. We did have a couple of hot bangers though. ✨
Probably yes, and also one of the best birthday release which is Whales - Tidal Wave 😊
Tied with January and September for sure
Tied with January and September for sure
I sure think so! (You should at least give Shingo Nakamura's LP a listen too - it's amazing!)
the fact that a “good, not great” rating for a haywyre song is still a 9/10 speaks volumes about his artistry
I love how divided the community has been on exhale, either you absolutely love it or it’s painful AF
I absolutely love it hahaha
Yeah I absolutely love exhale but so many people seem to hate it
I love it
It's honestly another polarizing Monstercat song if I've ever seen one
Man, 6 10/10s are insane. I love it
Lush does remind me of WRLD a little though
Virtual Riot was actually so back. He got Nawtystep to pause and rewind multiple times while he was listening to the full album on stream. That's how you know Virtual Riot is built different.
First half of October was some of Monstercat’s worsts but then it suddenly became the best month of 2024
i think i still like may more but for sure a good month
