I’ve recently gotten into the drift/phonk genre (as well as some adjacent genres), and have enjoyed the way that most of the prominent artists in the genre all collab with each other, and shine light on newer artists entering the scene. None of them seem to be taking themselves too seriously, either, so there’s a very fun energy to the scene. It’s still a fairly new genre, so there’s a lot of experimentation going on. It reminds me a lot of the early days of dubstep, with new sounds and a similar high-energy feel to the music. It’s also got some pretty varied influences, from eastern European electronic tropes to Latin American and reggaeton inspirations.
The artist I’ve been listening to the most lately has been Deathpixie, a virtual artist (like Gorillaz or Dethklok) who just recently signed with Mau5trap, which is probably the most “mainstream” move I’ve seen in the genre so far. But I’ve also been jamming the likes of Pinkii, Pro6lema, ProdGX, Kordhell, RoboPup, Raizhell, Demxn, etc.
