HWLS finally dropped his highly anticipated EP!

After months of anticipation, HWLS has finally dropped his 5-track EP, “EP02.” The HWLS projects initially consisted of Justin Elwin (formerly known as Kit-Pop) teamed up with Ta-Ku but is now Elwin’s solo project. In 2014 the then duo dropped their first EP and fans have waited to hear more! EP02 consists of 5 tracks, Alpha through Epsilon, and display’s Elwin’s penchant for heavy synths, snares, and percussions. Of all the tracks, Epsilon is my favorite and is a perfect synthesis of HWLS’s sounds and a wraps a perfect bow around this incredibly cohesive body of work.

The 19-year-old wonder kid, K?d, has been creeping onto people’s radar since his first track release. His recent collaboration with REZZ, “Fourth Impact”, has received an overwhelming amount of support and rightfully so. It’s refreshing to see such young talent bring their own unique sound and energy into the scene. K?d’s most recent track, “Lose Myself”, will have you forgetting all about Alesso’s 2013 track with a similar title. The track begins with a Porter-esque beat accompanied by Phil Good’s soft vocals and transitions into a hard-hitting spacey drop. Its synthy build ups transport you to another world and will have you bobbing your head singing the catchy lyrics.

Showing his softer side in a world full of heavy beats and massive drops, he took to the kid’s request and made the most out of it. Stream “Comic Boy” below and see what this track is all about!
“This kid brought me so much joy when he reached out. His love for music seemed so pure, and I felt it was reminiscent of me,” says Buku of the letter he received, which was accompanied by a hand drawn comic featuring the producer. “I had the opportunity to light up someone’s life, so I felt compelled to honor this young man’s wishes.”
