[Album] MIN – PRIME TIME

Posted by Tyler Trew - July 14, 2024

MIN’s journey began with a deep-seated love for music, influenced by her father’s admiration for Prince and icons like Michael Jackson and Destiny’s Child. Growing up, she found inspiration in artists such as Rihanna and her grandmother, Pill Yeo Han, who remains her ultimate role model. Moving to New York allowed MIN to break free from her K-pop image and fully embrace her authentic self, channeling this raw authenticity into her music.

Her latest EP, ‘PRIME TIME,’ is a powerful example to this journey. The lead single, “PRIME TIME,” features a dynamic collaboration with Lil Cherry, merging vibrant pop melodies with edgy rap and electronic elements. Another poignant track, “Happy Plant (A Call From Grandma),” captures a heartfelt phone conversation with her grandmother, reflecting on the cyclical nature of life and the beauty of growth and renewal.

MIN has shined with her many performances, particularly with her significant role on Broadway in the musical “KPOP.” Her transition from a K-pop idol in Miss A to a solo artist in New York highlights both her commitment and growth, making her a standout figure in the music world.

[Bass] STUCA – Resurgence EP

Posted by TMN Staff - January 29, 2024

The Southern California bass prodigy STUCA has begun the year in stellar stride thanks to his 3-track Resurgence EP. Released on Kannibalen Records, the project further establishes STUCA as one of bass music’s most promising producers who aren’t afraid to showcase a diversified palate.

“Sabre” was the lead single from the EP and starts off the project with an explosive barrage of bass that focuses a bit more on sound design and vibe rather than melodic structures. It makes for a whopping headbanger-friendly record that has proven itself as a success on dancefloors since early 2023. “Get Down” sees STUCA take on breakbeat for an even more dance-friendly tune. Closing out Resurgence is the hybrid heater “WKA” that just might be the favorite for us here in the dojo. They’re all fire though, so enjoy!

Posted by TMN Staff - June 14, 2022

Kai Wachi. That should be enough to get you interested, but if you need more convincing about one of dubstep’s finest you’ll be interested to find out about his astonishing 8-track SKINS EP on Kannibalen Records. Ever since his single “Run” his fans have dubbed his melodic, more emotional side as “Cry Wachi” and now the Boise beast has doubled down with his first fully fledged project exploring that side of his creatitivity.

For starters Kai Wachi enlists some truly phenomenal vocalists including RUNN, Lexi Norton, Nina Sung, SOUNDR, YMIR, Calivania and TeZATalks. Each bring their own unique flavor to a project that is a wild ride from start to finish. Most of the songs are standouts which showcases Kai Wachi’s hitmaking ability – one that blends musicality with ear-shattering distortion that nobody can seem to get enough of. His ability to develop a song from start to finish is masterful, while many producers sit by and copy/paste their drops. Kai Wachi has always been a producer to keep an eye on, but now he seems to be hitting a stride that can take him to the very top of the game.
