Navi - Monsoon Season


3:46 minutes (5.42 MB)

Navi hits us with some slick hiphop and rapping. Great beat, buzzing bass synth, slick scratching. Love it. Monsoon Season is off of Navi's recently released album, Grayscale which is downloadable for free. The rest is similarly awesome.

Mnemosyne - Evisceration


4:09 minutes (9.59 MB)

Mnemosyne hits us with a Nu-Style Gabba track. Sweet kick modulations, awesome melodies, and some chopped up vocals. Warning: Explicit Lyrics. While this isn't a style I care for myself, let me know wether you want more like this on Protagonist. Put a comment here, or hit me on twitter: @sgxmusic.

Hollidayrain - Thursday Night on Pearl Street


8:52 minutes (16.24 MB)

Hollidayrain is giving us a lot of really well produced trancy/club stuff. Let's start off our weekend with another! This progressive house track launches with a long dj intro but soon gets into a fun groove with some very upbeat synths and melodies that sound straight out of a 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog game. Great stuff.

12 Followers/Meteo Xavier - Ornamekias - A Slight Wave From the Hill Above


6:52 minutes (12.81 MB)

Stressful week so far? Chill out and be transported with this atmospheric piece from 12 Followers/Meteo Xavier. It feels like a great track for the soundtrack to a scifi movie or game where you are visiting an undiscovered planet. Great pads, delayed synths, and a subtle constant kick beat keeps things feeling in motion.
