Future trap is the new wave of trap music that has been making waves in the electronic scene, with artists like Flume and Hermitude completely changing the game, drawing from influences from hip-hop, house, and garage to seriously push that boundaries of what electronic music can bring to the dance floor.
I love this genre because of it's one I've always found myself in the mood for, whether I'm in need of a morning pick-me-up, having a bad day, or just in need of motivation to get work done. It's emotional and vulnerable, but at the same time, stirring, passionate and even uplifting. If you're finding a genre that commands a presence, you've come to the right place.
The drops in the 26 songs in this playlist "f i r e" transform these emotive songs that feature smooth, deep vocals into incredibly badass, strong synth tracks. I've started with a stunning new release from What So Not (which consists of Emoh Instead, and formerly Flume): "Gemini," with George Maple's airy vocals that bring a gorgeous depth to the song. I first heard Maple's music when she collaborated with Flume in the song "Bring You Down" in 2012.
Another new release in this playlist is Flume's remix of "Lay Me Down" by current pop and soul king Sam Smith. While the anticipation really builds in the beginning, I do feel that it drags out a bit throughout the entire track, while not providing as big of a satisfying drop as his remix of "Tennis Court" by Lorde (also included in this playlist).
