Randomly heard the track "Hollywood Baby" by 100 gecs in a store or restaurant or something. It instantly hooked into my brain and I'm still not sure why.

I like everything, so there are very few genres or styles of music that I don’t expect to ever like at all.
Well raggaeton is one of them…
But man, have you guys listened to DATA by Tainy? It’s actually fucking good.
My main gripe with raggaeton has always been the samey and honestly uninspired production.
I know Bad Bunny had a banger last year, I haven’t listened to the whole album. But I didn’t love the few songs I heard.
But man DATA is awesome. It gives me Dawn FM vibes. It’s dark, very synth-genres inspired, and I do get an OPN vibe from it. Maybe that’s why I loved it tbh.
If you guys haven’t listened to it, give it a try. Specially if you like synth-genres and experimental electronic music, but don’t like raggaeton.

- GoGo Penguin (1, 2) - probably my biggest positive surprise in the Jazz/Fusion genre as of late. Singlehandedly re-invigorated my interest in the genre. I basically didn't listen to this genre at all for a very long time but they changed that
- Mammal Hands (1) - I thought I didn't even like saxophone but this band changed that. Very unexpected, very great. Apparently I just listened to the "wrong" kind of Jazz bands before. Discovered them right after GoGo Penguin.
Hey Mammal Hands surprised me too ahaha, I just wrote a comment about it
There’s this series of compilation albums called Dark Country, most notable for having a lot of the music from the Rebel Galaxy games. I would not call these good, exactly. But they have a very specific vibe and they all do that vibe extremely well. It’s not what I normally listen to by a long shot, but I keep coming back to them. They’re gritty, dark, cheesy, catchy, and fun.
