"6's to 9's (feat. Rationale)" by Big Wild
Curated by: Amanda Scharkss
Spotify: spoti.fi/2WZmff4
Genre: #electrosoul
Earlier this year, before the release of his latest album, Big Wild announced he wanted to switch gears a little and shift the focus of his music. Is Superdream loaded with hype future bass bangers like “I Just Wanna” and “When I Get There"? No, unfortunately for the filth lovers of the electronic music world, it is not. That being said, is Superdream full of awesomely produced, full-bodied tracks with that familiar Big Wild flare? Absolutely.
When the album first dropped, we highlighted “Pale Blue Dot,” as it is certainly the most similar to the Big Wild we’re used to hearing. Having digested the new digs for a few months, there’s more. Formerly known as J Beatz (the hiphop producer), Jackson Stell’s journey as a musician should be one of the more respected ones in the game right now. Rather than rigidly plugging his instrumentals into the formula (intro, verse, build up, drop, repeat), Big Wild instead uses the formula as a way to structure his lively compositions.
In “6’s to 9’s,” the formula isn’t what makes the track, it’s the ethereal synths that swell up around the percussion and leave a clean wake for Rationale’s voice to glide along the soundscape. It’s the airiness of the gospel choir. It’s the fact that this song sounds like a modern day George Michael hit and feels like a big breath of fresh air. Lastly, there’s definitely something to be said about how we now have yet another way to say “you turn my world upside down.”
While the “drop” is personally my favorite part of this song, it’s not the only noteworthy component. In fact, it’s just one of the many dope features. In just a few years, Big Wild has grown from a super talented EDM producer into a real musician.

Old Graffiti by Bibio
Curated by: Mike Floeck
Spotify: http://bit.ly/OldGraffitiBibio
Genre: #indierock
Stephen Wilkinson has figured out a thing or two about timing and tempo: Ribbons is Wilkinson’s tenth album as Bibio, and although his tenure resulted in a bit of diversion and experimentation, his predominant lane resembles folk music and experimental electronica without breaking a sweat about the comparison. Ribbons sits right in this lane: “Old Graffiti” settles down like a fresh spring rain shower of medium density, pattering against the windowsill, drops randomly striking at different angles and intensities. Wilkinson’s voice apparates from seemingly nowhere, echoing short syllables that he coos and barks through the song.
Bibio has credited phonemes as influences for his uniquely bizarre lyrical phrasing and articulation. Phonemes, per Merriam-Webster, are “[members] of the set of the smallest units of speech” that separate and identify one syllable from another. An example is when two words end in different consonants yet sound phonetically similar, e.g. “tad” and “tab”. The phonemes would be the “d” and “b” sounds, distinguishing the two words but just barely. You feel the tension of the “p” hanging on Wilkinson’s lips as he sings “makeup” and the word echoes rapidly behind; you sense the restraint as he transitions from the hard “e” sounds in “graffiti” into a yodel, howling over the plains of his percussion-driven arrangement.
Speaking of percussion, Bibio says “Old Graffiti” began with it whereas most of his compositions begin on guitar. He was “inspired by listening to old Batucada and Capoeira recordings,” both influenced by African percussion and native to Brazil. This broad-reaching influence lends an exotic air to “Old Graffiti”, a lost gem in a modern world. Bibio - Old Graffiti](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L2ZZWXpR8QY/mqdefault.jpg)
