Also this week:

In our hyperpop cover feature, Sophie Shredz said that, "It’s crazy because I feel like when I tell people that my
genre is hyperpop, they are like, ‘What does that mean?’ My initial question is always, ‘Do you
know 100 gecs?’ Because that’s the main one that everybody knows. The way I describe it is,
it’s just like really heavy bass and the vocals sound like you’re Alvin & the Chipmunks. They’re
like, ‘What are you talking about?’ But the first band I always introduce to people is 100 gecs
because they kind of like started a bigger movement of hyperpop, I feel. It’s weird, I always tell
people it’s heavy bass with pitched vocals, and it’s just a more ADHD version of pop music.”

In "Not Another DJ," Joeski said, “The advancements in technology have revolutionized music production, making it more accessible and efficient. Tasks that used to take hours can now be accomplished in a fraction of the time, especially when it comes to editing and refining my work. Throughout various trends that have emerged in electronic music, I have remained dedicated to my unique sound. Staying true to my artistic vision has allowed me to carve out my own identity amidst a constantly evolving industry. I believe that embracing the future is essential, as technology continues to evolve and present new creative possibilities.”
