A collection of all my works released in 2021. (including production for others)

2021 RELEASES + PRODUCTION

tinykiwi's heart is about to burst!!!

Here to show us how digital fusion can be danced to, Shady Monk from Philadelphia & That Andy Guy from Alabama have prepared a mixtape with fresh new songs and remixes of their faves. "Digital fusion" is basically the genre that DESKPOP first became known for before dipping into hyperpop. It's like vgm (video game music) but relies less on nostalgic sounds and more on complex rhythms + genre blending of jazz/funk/dance. Some of the featured musicians are well known in the digital fusion scene, and some are from the hyperpop network! Everything sorta “fuses” together hehe

Shady Monk & That Andy Guy - Potara

Shady Monk - Storage Space 1

This instrumental cover kind of came out of the blue. I've always loved the version of the song featured in the 1965 film version of "The Sound of Music", sung by Julie Andrews, and used the vibes from my recent FUSION DANCE collab album (with @that-andy-guy ) & Study Buddy album as sonic blueprints for the direction I wanted to take this cover in. I also was heavily influenced by the works of my friend @sylcmyk !

Mazza breathes life into his synthesizers across 4 new tracks on the "Maxamize" EP, including his track "Identity" from DESKPOP: Green Version. If you're familiar with composers known for smooth and funky EDM like Anomalie or KOAN Sound, imagine their sound but mixed with the digital fusion subgenre created by jazzy gamers. Bold growling bass instruments assert their place in the mix, then quickly step out of the way for rich piano bridges and outros.

From Mazza directly:
"Hi friends! Super stoked to be working with DESKPOP once again, and to finally release these tunes into the wild :)
I learned a ton and had loads of fun creating Maxamize EP, it represents a huge step up in my quest for ever funkier bops and higher production standards. 
Hope you enjoy listening, peace!"

Mazza - Glossy Skies

After seeing success in creating the soothing yet mysterious HoloVista OST, Mariode is ready to dance again. The m+ EP is full of high moments like the lead single "freebleed" which takes cues from a couple internet genres of dance music. While the kicks, rises, and percussion may be of typical EDM, it's the way that Mariode stifles and squishes the synth leads and counter melodies to give them this frantic urgency that would be more common in a hyperpop song. It's compelling and fun, and can be downloaded or streamed here ♡ ~ https://smarturl.it/Mariode-m
