Ranking Every February 2024 Monstercat Release
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- I feel like February is always one of the weakest months for Monstercat, and it's probably because January always slaps so hard. This month we had a couple EPs (Nostalgix & Caster), a lot of collabs, returns, and debuts. Reminder that this video is just my opinion so don't take it too seriously.

Worst of the month:
Bloodshot
DEMONS

Ostinato
Real Girls
Unlike January, February slipped a bit more in the sense of quality 'cause most of all releases were very disappointing or others not so much, just could have gotten better performance out of them. Luckily, we had a few other MCat tracks and these are really worth it. Without further ado, here's my Monstercat February 2024 ranking. Are just opinions and do not reflect absolute reality.
1.- Mr. Bill & Infected Mushroom - Rawthentic [9.7/10]
Of the three occasions Mr. Bill collaborated with Infected Mushroom, this one made me vibrate more. Bass House boppy drops are catchily cool and Psytrance slap section performs very well.
2.- MUZZ - Rain Dance [9.5/10]
Definitely Rain Dance has better music elements and bassline execution than Pressure on the Masses. I really like how dark concept, the mischief in the choirs and fast-spaced claps work together. Sure, not in the masterful way like The Warehouse and Miss Trouble and P4VAN'S vocal support was needed over here to take the production to the next level. However, this one slaps pretty good.
3.- Caster - Ostinato [9.4/10]
OH GOD, THIS IS SO AWESOME!! Neurobreaks are amazingly sick. Without a doubt, the track I enjoyed the most on Sorcerer's Symphony EP.
4.- No Mana & SOFI - Digital Friends [9.3/10]
No Mana never fails to bring quite consistent and creative songs. Still better than Justify.
5.- Blanke & Grant - Heavy Heart (feat. your friend polly) [9.0/10]
Blanke continues to impress more and Grant's presence rewards everything. Melodic drops, stronghearted vocal performance and godly cheesy vibes executed in the good way.
6.- Direct - Ghost [8.9/10]
Yeah, a huge step forward after Same Thing. It's really enjoyable the somber tone, both in the vocals and in the concept, and Deep House/Mid-tempo progression. Direct did a good job here.
7.- KUURU & Saint Punk - Tokyo Drift [8.5/10]
When the same typical clichés are removed from a Phonk song, above all those same-samey cowbell beats, and other fresher elements are added, the experience changes a lot and that's exactly what happened with this collab, inspired by the Teriyaki Boyz's song of the same name. As a final result, we have a consistent Phonk-influenced Bass House micro-banger.
8.- Ryan Case - Don't Wanna Know (feat. Jake Neumar) [8.0/10]
Literally a solid stutter House-like UK Garage song, influenced by Disclosure's and another Big Room artists music roots. A nice double debut for Instinct.
9.- Hayve - Portal [7.3/10]
Sure, It's Hayve's classic DnB style, although has a couple of good glitched sounds and that makes it a bit cooler.
10.- Caster - Choir of the Banshees [7.0/10]
Sounds like Hayve, Only Caster's somber tone is added. Faster DnB here it's nice of course.
11.- Fairlane & Point North - Not My Night [6.9/10]
Pop Rock-influenced drops are alright, nicer than Take It Back, but the vocal performance could have been used better.
12.- Jason Ross - No Tomorrow (feat. Brandyn Burnette) [6.8/10]
Hardstyle is a EDM genre I don't listen to and enjoy often. Something wally noisy, although it's fine for some menodic parts and Brandyn's vocal performance.
13.- WHIPPED CREAM & Fourfive - Who's Laughing Now [6.3/10]
This is the Lost My Way's sequel and maybe will be the beginning of a something new. WHIPPED CREAM'S angelical chants are a bit pleasant and less uncomfortable, cinematic Trap concept it's pretty okay and Fourfive's rap... Not really.
14.- Piero Pirupa & Nukey - Only Human [6.0/10]
Decent vocal performance, decent Electropop song. Rarely does Instinct put out things stray even slightly from mediocrity in very unbearable terms.
15.- Ace Aura & Whales - Hypnosis [5.5/10]
I had very low expectations for this collab and still managed to disappoint me. I feel Whales should reduce his aggression in sound design terms and in the case of Ace Aura, he would have done more elements to save this one.
16.- Cyclops - Bloodshot [5.0/10]
2nd drop it's the only decent part of this I guess, but the rest... Simply, It's too disappointing.
17.- UZ - IBTFY (feat. TroyBoi) [4.0/10]
Oriental flutes sounded good at least. Unfortunately and apart from that, this trashy Trap song contributes absolutely nothing.
18.- RAIZHELL & CLOUD ZERO - BINARY BLOOD [3.0/10]
Another uninteresting/free-care Phonk track on the label. Nothing can be rescued in this regard.
Edit: I won't rate Nostalgix's Star City EP because it left a lot to be desired and I don't see the point in giving reasonings about it. In general, all the songs are 3-4 on rating scale.
Digital Friends was so good this month was elite
22. Though weird, it was an alright song from the weird but good woman
21. It gud
20. A pretty good song from both guys
19. Empty song but not too terrible. Return of TroyBoi was good tho
18. Cyclops is good and hilarious
17. OG was great and this is like that
16. MUZZ good
15. Direct is always good
14. Somehow catchier than other songs like this
13. First JR single on MC is my second fav of the month
12. Caster’s EP is the best of the two main EPs of this month
11. It was good
10. Don’t know why this reminds me of a Your Favorite Martian song but it was good
9. hayve is always good
8. It is actually dope
7. Return of Razihel was also dope
6. Pretty fun song ngl
5. Mr. Billy boy’s LP should be legit, as is this song
4. It’s No Mana
3. Now I think Blanke’s EP may be the best thing to happen this year so far, as is this song too
2. Ditto with 2, this time wether if Fairlane has an EP or LP, as this song has similar artwork to Take It Back, which I love
1. It’s a better version of Shadowblade and so much better
I might be late to this but I gotta say that Digital Friends and Heavy Heart were my top two favourites. Hypnosis was good but I feel like it could’ve been better not gonna lie
I gotta agree with Muzz - Rain Dance, it just sounds likea copy and and paste of Warehouse , and imo Caster has outdone himself the whole EP was amazing
Indeed, Rain Dance didn't make it. I listened to it again and grew off terrible on me. The Warehouse it's still better.
My opinion
22. Me! I'm laughing! 4/10
21. Drops were really good but vocals kinda ruined the song 7/10
20. Banger 8.25/10
19. Without that whistly part, this one never appealed me 5/10

BEST
Bro doesn't like electronic music
Or are they all Best
@@theoriginalspikecat that applies to ALL rankers then including DCRanks
@@Aeycer8-bit LMFAO
@@theoriginalspikecatworst -> best
I'm in awe of musicians who release every month, so they don't innovate, they keep doing, I don't know, preset projects and several repetitions come out,Wow, I can't believe it, what song has a tiktok formula
This month was not great. A lot of the songs were either trash (Who's Laughing Now, Demons, Hypnosis), mediocre (IBTFY, Bloodshot, Ghost, Only Human, Portal, Tokyo Drift Cover, BINARY BLOOD, Don't Wanna Know), or massively disappointing (Rain Dance). Caster's EP and Heavy Heart were the only things I got excited for this month honestly. Hope March's gonna be better
I also hope March surpasses February. I partially agree with your thoughts regarding what Monstercat was like in February this year. I wouldn't say everything was mediocre and disappointing, although the vast majority were.
@@israelmorales1599 I think it's not a bad thing when there are mediocre songs on Monstercat, it just gets very annoying when there are too many of them
@@sprinklednights Sure, the amount of mediocre releases on Monstercat is vast and varied across EDM genres, both so far this year and in past years.
i loved rain dance
@@g10prod Rain Dance it's cool, although The Warehouse is on another level.
Is it just me or the drop of Need You by Nostalgix sound pretty much similar to Galactic Trumpet by Julian Calor but at a faster pace ?
22. I couldn’t stop laughing during the premiere 😂😂😂 I thought that was so ironic. Hot garbage
21. Very disappointed for this ep. Some of the sounds in this one are ok
20. I know ace’s strategy… collab with someone and hope it works. His influence has been bad in his collabs
19. Tbh I thought it did it’s job as a catchy trap beat. One of my favorites in a lackluster month
18. Kinda catchy and hits hard but a little bland
17. I forgot to listen to the rest of the ep but the featured single was mid
16. The sounds used are catchy BUT THAT IS ALL THAT REPEATS. This is so basic
15. I can’t really get behind directs songs since “stained glass”. His vocals are actually really good though
14. A little basic yes, but I actually wanted a lil slap house and this one was better than most of last years
13. Probably my personal favorite of the month from uncaged
12. OMG THE KEEP UP THE PACE REFERENCE LOL 😂
11. So nostalgix has a simplistic style huh? It’s not bad but her style gets old
10. This drop is ok and the quiet piercing Melody at the end of each bar is nice
9. DC DOESNT MIND A HAYVE RELASE 🤯?!?! Tbh I thought it was mid and I actually like hayve
8. Kinda disappointing it’s just a remix kinda for saint punks return but it was solid I guess
7. DAMN THIS HITS HARD. Really good
6. Really solid actually I just didn’t listen to it more than once
5. I’m sorry: I do not care for either IM or bill
4. SOFI CARRY!!!! I just like the way it…. sounds. That pause before “feels” is so satisfying and no mana slaps too
3. So blanke is just relying on other artists… hey I really liked it
2. Maybe a gotta listen again cuz it just sounded like an empty euphoric song. The vocals are good though
1. Yeah maybe it’s not TOO bad but I didn’t love it too much. Caster’s previous work I liked a lot better
Yay! Oh nevermind i'm too early
22. Bad
21. Do they have satan
20. Nice
19. Fuego
18. Fuego
17.
16. Expected
15. Incredible
14. Jonas brothers: hey that's my line
13. Nice
12.
11. Nice her best
10. Bad
9. Smooth
8. Nice
7. Fuego
6. Incredible
5. Infected mushroom doesn't have a long song?
4. Meh
3. I guess polly is my friend
2. Fuego
1. Incredible
I know that ELE, pink heart remixes, and potions remixes exist, but I think Who’s Laughing Now might be the worst thing on Monstercat (maybe it’s just that “we live in a society” ass video 💀)
That song was my birthday release ☠️
no way raizhell came back after like 8 yrs and bro said non bout it 😭
Who?
Jk jk
Seems like some music, i hear in da last year
I think hypnosis is a 8, but u do u
Did not like mcat this month. I'm so surprised that a Grant song was my favorite this month out of mcat.
