This edition of LITM Pop Picks brings melodies across spectrums and genres from the likes of Apuhjee, Frank Joshua, Dr Dawsound and others!

Apuhjee - Space To Forget

"Space To Forget" by Apuhjee brings a deep, synth-laden sound to the fore with itntrospective lyrics that harken back to long moments of soul-searching; all mixed in with delightful, crunchy synths and a bassline to remember. The production follows a mostly deep-house sound with some retrowave and club house elements, with a focus on the vocals that yields another layer of dimensionality to the song. The pianos in the background also form memorable, enjoyable counter-melodies that take to your mind almost immediately; and the result is enjoyable on first listen, on the second, and for many more.

Dr Dawsound - Electric Heartbeat

In a world where neon dreams collide with delightful 80s and 90s synths to make a synthwave-house track like no other, "Electric Heartbeat" is a charming listen right from the get go; there's much to excite the ear and get you grooving with no waiting about, surrounding you throughout its runtime. The song has this positive, charismatic energy that takes you by storm, and as the track develops, the synths bring more and more a feel-good to the track, and at the end, you're left hitting the rewind and repeat buttons. Probably for good measure, I will add. Check out the track here!

Isla de Luca - i already am one

Say hello to sinister seductiveness with "i already am one" by Isla de Luca; bringing the charm of overdriven, crunchy guitars, picked rock basses together with a club-friendly beat and cadence, there is a balance that this song strikes that leaves it high-energy, a pleasant listen, and emotive, all at the same time.
