HYPERSPACE: Best Discoveries of the Week – Episode 181
Hey Space Travellers,
Are we ready for another incredible episode of Hyperspace?
Episode 181 landed, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to depart!
Music by Jeremy – “Scenes from a Well Worn Path – Side One”
Let’s start this new episode with incredible artist Music by Jeremy, arriving straight from the hyperspace with his new project “Scenes from a Well Worn Path – Side One”, the first chunk of a seriously ambitious 24-track double album rolling out across four sides. Yes, this is big, and honestly, calling it a “debut” feels a bit misleading. There’s way too much life experience, musical curiosity, and lyrical mileage here for that.
The album is a mix of folk, soul, indie pop, blues, and gospel, all with a common thread, which is his writing: thoughtful, direct, occasionally funny, and refreshingly unafraid to deal with the messy bits of being human.
This was recorded entirely from his home studio, handling the guitars and bass himself, while AI trained on his own voice helps fill out the arrangements. It’s an unusual setup, but the technology is definitely not the main event here.. the songwriting is.
Ambitious, honest, and packed with ideas, this wonderful album really feels like a songwriter finally getting the chance to say exactly what he wants to say.
Cenzina – “Angel in Heaven”
Next up we have a song that hits right in the chest. Yes, Cenzina took a massive personal hit here: losing her childhood neighbour, family friend, and babysitter back in May.. and instead of making a total downer of a song, she channeled it into this gorgeous and soaring power-pop ballad.
You hear a lot of tracks around that try to force big emotional moments, but you can’t fake what’s happening here. The vocals are pure heart-on-sleeve. The track starts with just her voice and a piano carrying the weight, keeping things super intimate. Then strings walk in, and the whole thing just expands. It’s got this beautiful contrast going on: a bit haunting, but warm enough to leave you feeling lifted rather than wrecked.
No need to impress anyone with crazy production tricks here.. Just pure storytelling, insane sincerity, and a real showcase of how confident Cenzina is getting with her sound. Absolute stunner of a tribute, don’t miss this one!
Max Macready – “The Hunt”
Listening to the latest banger of Max Macready really feels like tuning into a pirate radio station broadcasting from a cyberpunk dystopia that never actually existed.
This incredible duo has dialed right into this lethal blend of darkwave, post-punk, and syntwave. The whole thing rides on this retro-futuristic vibe: acid basses, razor-sharp guitars, and an insanely unique vocal delivery that keeps you guessing what’s hiding around the corner.
Strip back all the neon-soaked sci-fi aesthetic, though, and the core of this track is brutally relatable. It’s about chasing a connection you know is probably a complete illusion.. reading into mixed signals, playing out scenarios in your head, and charging full speed ahead anyway. We’ve all fallen into that trap.
Anyway, it’s crazy how this track gets stuck in your head so easily.. It just locks into a killer pocket, letting the hypnotic melodies do the talking while that dense atmosphere wraps right around you. This is a total vibe from top to bottom, trust us.
One Empty Toybox – “Cyberstalking”
Honestly, taking a heavy and deeply uncomfortable topic like digital harassment and turning it into an absolute party shouldn’t work.. but here we are!
One Empty Toybox is here with a plot twist, his latest single “Cyberstalking”. Instead of delivering a preachy cautionary tale, they smash vintage synth-pop, 70s punk swagger, and theatrical guitar shreds into a track that’s gloriously unhinged. The production is incredible here: it pops off right away with unique guitars, but it’s the tongue-in-cheek vocal performance that gives it such a wild style. Just when you think you’ve figured out the groove, those chaotic guitars rip through and throw the whole thing off-kilter.
Yes, a bit quirky, but under the chaotic surface, though, there’s a real brain at work. It sneaks up on you, picking at that messy boundary between modern romance, tech, and crossing the line. Catchy as hell, wildly unpredictable, and actually meaningful.
Ronald Hage – “Paragliding”
Just hitting the play button on “Paragliding” is an instant adrenaline rush. Ronald Hage seriously unleashes pure energy with his track, charging in a vibe that basically demands you get up and move.
The wild thing about this phenomenal Dutch producer is how he cooks up a monster progressive house track like this. While everyone else is relying on AI generators or auto-arrangers, Hage sits down at a real acoustic piano first. He hunts down that core melody by hand before touching a single digital synth or drum loop in his DAW. That old-school foundation is the secret sauce here; you can feel the human soul right under the electronic sheen.
The guy’s work ethic is ridiculous, too. This is his 18th release in a year and a half, pumping out new bangers every few weeks like clockwork.. Imagine how focused this guy can be! Ronald crafts a sound that’s primed for massive festival mainstages, yet totally authentic to his DIY roots. High-flying, melodic, and incredibly infectious from start to finish!
Dorian – “RECONNECTED”
Dorian is back, but this time, clearly didn’t get the memo about sticking to a single genre.. and honestly? Thank dynamic songcraft for that. “RECONNECTED” is a massive 14-track playground where raw soul collides with alternative electro-pop, afrobeat, and melodic R&B.
The real magic here is in the contrast: he’s tackling heavy and universal stuff, like heartache, self-healing, desperate cravings for a second chance.. but he didn’t get it into the sorrow line.. he literally drowns it in vibrant production instead. His vocals are shapeshifting gold, too; laying down fragile, heart-on-sleeve vulnerability, but also channeling old-school royalty with massive energy.
You can feel the absolute freedom radiating off this incredible project. Dorian doesn’t chase trends, doesn’t try to fit into neat little Spotify boxes; he’s just following pure instinct and taking huge swings. Vibrant, deeply soulful, and brilliantly unpredictable: it’s the sound of an amazing artist tearing down his own creative walls, tossing out the rulebook, and completely rewiring his frequency on his own terms.
L-zone – “Adriana mamacita”
L-Zone are making sure summer 2026 goes out with a bang, dropping a track that practically radiates pure heat. “Adriana Mamacita” is a wild mix of Afrobeats, salsa rhythms, and that touch of modern pop that hits you like an instant serotonin shot!
The genre mashup here is an absolute winner: that heavy Afrobeat vibe lays down an addictive groove, but it’s the sudden splash of Latin salsa flavor that gives the track its real personality. Now, let’s add a glossy European production polish, a killer vocal delivery steeped in Lagos gospel roots, and a hook that sticks in your head for ages.. Now you’ve got a recipe for late nights and impulsive decisions!! This duo definitely knows what they’re doing.
They even stacked the release with an Amapiano flip and a heavier Club Mix, giving it legs for every single stage of the night. Super catchy, confident, and absurdly easy to move to: this isn’t just a summer track; it’s the track that closes the whole season!
