hi! my name is zad, and i’m a 16-year-old EDM ranker from the UK! i’ve covered labels such as Monstercat, Disciple and NCS among many others in order to introduce my music taste and underrated artists to a wider audience while shining a light on the producers who should be much more well known than they already are.
hopefully these videos provide you with new favourite songs/artists! if not, then maybe someday :D

for me coming into the EDM scene as late as i did i’m not surprised i have the old songs lower than most having no nostalgia bias may play a part in these earliest rankings
#26 - there are only two phonk songs in this. one is decent and the other is meh #25 - weirdest A/B on Monstercat thus far #24 - Yeah I wasn't feeling that one thank you #23 - A relatively solid debut EP from Dustycloud, nothing too special unless it's Ignore Them #22 - What was Toki cooking #21 - This album predicted what Instinct was for much of 2023 #20 - The singles leading up to the EP releases weren't exactly my thing, but I could vibe with the other three #19 - For Me VIP was the only standout from this one as it is on par with the OG, but still, it has a lot of cool ideas #18 - Even Take It Away wasn't that too bad. #17 - I really do wish we got more from Silent Child #16 - Nonstop fire from start to finish, excellent debut EP from Godlands #15 - Thus marks the start of the riddim invasion on Monstercat #14 - Bishu's latest album makes me want to revisit this #13 - I really like what Notaker is going for here #12 - Now this remix package is awesome #11 - It's so fuckin badass, what the hell. Those basslines on SOYUZ are ear candy #10 - Can't go wrong with Kage bass house #9 - The VIP package that needed a lot of time to grow on me since I hadn't listen to it much #8 - You know an EP is good when I headbang to 7/8 of the songs there. #7 - How to do future riddim right 80% of the time (with Papa Khan) #6 - Space Boy clears the rest of the EP #5 - Underrated asf #4 - IF HIIRO IS LISTENING TO THIS HE'S GONNA BE HYPED AF SEEING CLOUDNONE DA GOAT THIS HIGH #3 - Common helloworld W #2 - Fantastic dubstep EP from Slippy. Absolute banger from start to finish. #1 - There is no need to explain CloudNone & Direct. They're a GOATed pair, that's all.
rating any of the tracks from slushii's album 7/10 or more that isn't all i need is automatically a guilty pleasure (but only for those that hate most of the tracks from that album)
Pretty good month imo 27. I couldn't understand the concept of this song 4/10 26. Ok 6/10 25. Not as strong as BEAMS, but still good 7/10 24. This sounds like 2015 ncs DnB songs 7/10 23. Not memorable but nice 6.5/10 22. Surprisingly good, especially for his standard 7.5/10 21. Kinda good 6.3/10 20. This reminds me Comeback and Mercy by Bossfight. 7/10 19. Surprisingly groovy because I don't like this genre 8/10 18. Alright 6/10 17. Cool 6.8/10 16. Original one is better 6/10 15. Incredible 9.8/10 14. Weaker one from him imo 6.5/10 13. Interlude being interlude 5/10 12. Decent 6.5/10 11. I feel I have heard a similar one of this song 7/10 10. Brutal and good 8.5/10 9. NITRO FUN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 10/10 8. Really catchy 9/10 7. Amazing 9.5/10 6. Not as good as the other two on this album but still great 8/10 5. Pretty nice 7.2/10 4. Beautiful 8/10 3. Excellent 9.6/10 2. I thought it would be more melodic, nice one 6/10 1. Beautiful 8/10
OH GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! <333 Genuinely so glad you liked the tune! I am lately trying to free myself from "genre chains" and going for more progressive music so that's why there's this many different sections in Cíe, glad u think it works well! ❤❤
Something about this entire ep feels wack to me, like it’s trying for that classic style but it works in the wrong ways. It also doesn’t sound like anything Mylk has put out before, some of these tracks could have shined with her vocals on them honestly
i come into everything with a fresh palette and so didn’t really ‘expect’ vocals to be a part of the project, and i think it’s kinda cool! if the production is different i don’t really mind, i still like it for what it is and do believe that Giga did a great job at reviving that kinda 2015 melodub sound, though your point is fair too 🙌🙌
thank you for the kind words, no i didnt record the vocals they just kinda appeared there idk how they got there, i dont even think they exist like the vocals are just not there. if you play it in reverse it says "ranipla did not record these vocals". One time I played this track 120 times and i ended up unlocking luigi. one time i crashed my car into a pole while trying to avoid hitting a deer and then when I looked back the deer was gone, so I recorded these vocals for this song that i was working on. idk i didnt actually recording anything i was lying, there was like, this like, ghost or something that just started singing n stuff. I was like "WHOOOOA MR beast" he was like "our bodies piling up, collecting dust" and i was like 'omg thats so fire' idk why i didnt use quotation marks there iguess i didnt say it. but then i was like "wow this is cool so cool im gonna add it to my song that i made" and he was like "ooooooo buy feastables im mr beaaasssttt" and he disappeared and i wasl ike "wow i have mr beast on the mr beat" i dont think i recorded it tho, so idk where it went, but then that like experience stuck with me, and one day i thought "hey i want a car" and so i bought mr beast feastables, all the kinds, one of each cuz i wanted the mr beast car. so i ate the mr beast feastables, i like the milk crunch one, i like the crunchiness of chocolate with the rice stuff in it, that's like crunchy and stuff. im not a big fan of the peanut butter one, it's like kinda salty, which is cool, i like salty peanut butter, and i could appreciate that it was silky smooth creamy peanut butter, but i think it just DOESNT work in a chocolate barrr. idk man, i think itd be really really REALLY cool if mr beast sold peanut butter. just give me the peanut butter chocolate without the chocolatre and just the creamy nice salted peanut butter, i want mr beast peanut butter for my mr beast toast. the milk chocolate was cool, i think it is, in terms of american chocolates, above hershey's by far. i had a piece of hersheys today for the second time and it was muuuuch worse than i remember, it really does just taste like vomit, like REALLL rancid stuff. Idk why they keep selling that stuff idk man. But ill tell ya what, i felt reaaall sick after eating 3 mr beast feastables of different types and that hersheys piece made me feel even sicker than all 3 combined. my sister gave it to me, well actually it was my dad but my sister got it from a costco, im australian btw. i dont live in america so im kinda outta touch with the american chocolate community. like the american chocolate community kinda has to just get their stuff together, idk why hersheys still kinda has a monopoly in america when cadbury is cleaaarlly the superior chocolate in all facets, like what about the rancid milk taste of hersheys is so appealing to americans? one could make a political joke about it like how americans are rancid and their government is rancid (my dad made that joke and i thought it came off a little bit awkward, to make it clear, nvm) but like i just dont get it, i really wished they would enjoy just some normal chocolate, because im going to travel to america soon to meet some friends and im verrryy apprehensiver about eating any chocolate dishes that are served out of fear that they make it out of hersheys chocolate, because I don't want to eat some nice french vanilla with a touch of puke, i don't know about you. But like, im feeling 20. im 20, just making that clear. btw im not drunk i dont drink, uhhhhhh, just making that known, cuz i dont like drinking, just wanted to say that in case you got any ideas about who i am. yeahh. uh. thanks for the review bro, or man, or thing, or friend. idk but like, i liked the kind words actually i already said that ummm... i REEALLY liked the kind words that you gave my track, the only thing kinder than the words you gave would be mr beast because he helped record some vocals for my track im a realy big fan of mr beast sometimes i wonder what unethical practices he employs in factories to create his signature feastables chocolate, but i dont wanna dwell on that because im a really big fan of mrbeast so i want a mrbeast car and if im going to get a mrbeast car, then i cant be saying things like this about him, so i take back all the negative things i said about mr beast and i think, sometimes. when will i be free?
I’ve made it very clear that I am not into these sort of compilations, but this was actually not as bad as I thought it would be. There was a good amount of stuff that wasn’t my thing, but hooray for tolerability 😅
Absolutely CRACKED compilation, there’s so much variety & bangers here RIP Cryostructure getting a 6.5 though, that 2nd drop’s flow personally blew me away I posted my full review in Bowtied’s discord, it was upon first listen so songs like Skeletons Of Us/Good For Nothing Shapeshifter & Cryostructure have grown immensely since
jztincase is very inspirational being one of the youngest in the underground dubstep scene that makes a solid output. and trust me as i was once one of them, its hard to come across #6 Mid #5 Mid #4 Mid #3 Mid #2 Good #1 Add even though i dont really like her output, i have so much damn respect for jztin, shes going places fr ❤
OKAY WHAT WHY IS CRASH LANDING LAST #4 Top Tier #3 Add #2 Top Tier #1 Good why does let it spin always get #1 the snare is so weirdly uncomfy i hate it
prunsihment im using the scale i made in the last video for all of these now except swap Best Of Material category with Top Tier #5 Mid #4 Add #3 Bad #2 Add #1 Add good ep, sad to see disciple falling off so hard
