[@BrokenScreen_desu]

I can't believe you did my precious dullscythe like that XD

[@mrtrader3546]

Yeah me too, love that song outside the album context aswell

[@BowtiedMedia]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@oscar_dl]

The production put into these videos by Bowtied probably exceeds 95% of projects released in 2024.

[@deedgemaster]

This is why you are a based TKcord member, spitting straight facts right here 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@BowtiedMedia]

🥺🥺

[@avexus7756]

i thought for sure i was watching a channel with way more subs than this. your passion is infectious. keep it up!

[@BowtiedMedia]

Appreciate it! yea I'm definitely still a small creator

[@Wesvex]

Marcix's Digital Reassurance deserves a spot on this list, or at least a honorable mention! But a Feed Me and Convexity W for sure

[@BowtiedMedia]

Yea Marcix's EP I think is one of my biggest hot takes of this list. I enjoyed the EP, but didn't think it was as strong as a majority of the community did

[@Chaisounds]

​@BowtiedMedia marcix ep is very much a top 5 ep of the year for me but i understand your opinion (:

[@TheMajorLeagueGinger]

My favorite ep this year was Zeroth's "This won't be my grave". I don't know if you heard it but the innovative style and playing with the tearout sound in something that actually sounds good was very captivating to me. Plus the behind the scenes context and narrative for the EP (in the description on soundcloud) really made the EP also feel like it had something behind it

[@wonejoinquisidor1018]

I know everyone told you this but the productions of these videos are amazing Love the colour schemes about the theme of each worst/best video and the lightning of them

[@BowtiedMedia]

Thanks :) I try to make these videos as high quality as I can

[@ZenithoraMusic]

Great List, for me personally Paperskies - Wireframe was my favorite this year, but excellent list

[@BowtiedMedia]

Great album!

[@drktomy8945]

TURQUOISEDEATH MENTIONED LET'S GOOOOO

[@Nomadder]

Banger list. I especially celebrated seeing some of the lower items on the list (Oppidan, Convexity, ellis, and *especially* Tennyson & Leslie). I’m interested in how you handle lyrics that run counter to your beliefs (e.g. the spiritual claims in “Shakti”, the occult focus in YMIR’s EP this year and MUERTE’s EP last year, etc.). How does that consideration play out when building these lists?

[@BowtiedMedia]

That's a great questions actually! I would say I'm more of a "progressive" Christ Follower, relative to the norm in that I don't shy away from occult stuff or non-religious spirituality. In the same way non-believers hear what I may say about my faith, they are exactly that, a belief system of some kind. I think if you shut down all conversation or ignore what other people believe, that's a fairly arrogant mindset. I'm always up for dialogue and conversation about belief and religion as I genuinely like to hear what people believe. So when I hear those more occult-like stuff, it doesn't both more, in fact, I'm typically quite curious about it!

[@Nomadder]

Yeah, total ignorance is not the way to go for sure. Some people wouldn’t give these things a second thought as they listen and, via this unconditional acceptance, fall into a different kind of ignorance that is also devoid of curiosity. These conversations are literally of eternal importance, so I’m glad they’re happening. Also happy to see you stay so balanced and thoughtful in your reviews.

[@gooseman6112]

Your wording certainly has gotten my attention into basically all of these EPs, will check them out :)

[@Dcyaboi33]

We stan Convexity in this household 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Loving the energy in these videos dude. And by seeing you talk about your favorites, i just might find myself some new artists to love. W shoutout to Neddie btw And for my own note about the EDM scene, I've been kind of paying attention to the stuff since 2021 and I'm genuinely seeing a different trends and how artists are growing.I got to say 2024 really was such a strong year, especially for Disciple and Monstercat. Glad they kinda made a comeback compared to 2023.

[@trophytroll]

Really good list and video! Just as a heads up "Ymir" pronounced "E-meer" or "yuh-meer" instead of "Y-meer". His alias is based off of the frost giant in Norse mythology.

[@NomeOfficial]

so glad transmissions made it! if you like convexity you should definitely listen to lattice vip, ghost drive, zenith, and especially Spectral Flux :)

[@garrettmusic1724]

Haha that’s funny, those r some of my favs by him too, also rly like the dnb one, Duplicity

[@BowtiedMedia]

Bangers

[@NomeOfficial]

@garrettmusic1724 great taste I see! There's some more convexity songs that I like, but those (and liminal) are my favorites. I just gave duplicity a listen, it's fine.

[@garrettmusic1724]

@@NomeOfficial yes I will listen to those others u mentioned at some point

[@NomeOfficial]

@garrettmusic1724 velours remix is also got btw

[@jfredd]

bit surprised koan sound's ep didn't make it in hahah, but nice list regardless :) personally I have to shoutout voljum's global tourist assembly ep as my pick this year

[@BowtiedMedia]

KOAN Sound's EP was actually on this list to begin with but fell off as I felt it didn't have the staying power like these other ones did or even their own former projects.

[@jakob1658]

Thanks for all the great EPs I didn’t know about!❤

[@alexbiddell8710]

Was hoping for a @Marcix shout-out for Digital Transmissions 😢 one of my favorites this year easily. But a lot of great mentions here too, plenty of new adds to my saved playlists

[@bidderankings5041]

11:07 noooo, amazing Video btw!

[@mindyminds32]

Neddie always kills it on every of his EP fr. And i recently cannot stop listening to ellis - signals EP. So many good EPs this year i cant count how much great EPs there are! Edit: i said EP four times haha

[@wonejoinquisidor1018]

Finished the video and is amazing how many talented artists i knew with this video and that says really well about your eye on smaller artists Also seeing artists i actually like as Convexity, Feed Me and YMIR is quite surprising and i gotta say Disciple last quarter of 2024 had the best lineup of EPs and A/Bs like Chime, Ace Aura, Beutnoise, Moley, ECRAZE, Izadi, NIRE, Marcix, Sora, MOB, Nosphere, YOKED, TWO KIND and Graphyt. Nice video man Hope to see the worst songs, best songs and best albums soon!

[@BowtiedMedia]

Those 3 videos are coming out over the next 3 days :)

[@ulightronx4259]

dayum i gotta check some of this out, i missed so much from 2024 lmao

[@EPsoundsEst2K17]

Transmissions EP is a really great dose of Convexity style for ya, and that Sleepnet EP is a blessing for ears

[@xilidan]

My top 1 EP of 2024 is Splitter’s Full Flavour. Such an underrated producer

[@zadinx]

SO VALID

[@BraxtonKovary]

HE LIKES A FEED ME PROJECT!! LFGG!! Seriously some of his best work, glad to see it so high up on the list.

[@figment8053]

Extended Play? More like.. Electronic Project

[@greg_levine]

My favorite EPs of the Year: 1. deadmau5 - Jaded 2. Myon - Silence Is Underrated 3. deadmau5 - some ep 4. Martin Garrix - IDEM

[@bintururong]

Damn, Camoufly Turquoisedeath, Feed me & 1788-L mentioned ❤ They all were bomb! I'd add Super Freq EP by Machine Girl, since it's one of the most energetic thing i've heard this year

[@jplieuro]

Can't believe that Feed Me pushed out two great eps last year. The fact that he was able to balance between his main alias, Spor and get a returning collab with No Mana on Monstercat makes it one of his best years of his career.

[@BowtiedMedia]

I 100% agree

[@jeremyusreevu237]

Great vid. Found a lot of cool projects!

[@BowtiedMedia]

Awesome!

[@JamasonBlair1]

Intuition was one of my favorite tracks this year!

[@BowtiedMedia]

Soo good!

[@deedgemaster]

Lot of peak stuff this year, great choices on your end, and with a knock2 album coming very soon, 2025 is lookin to be the same Edit: BASED #1 LETS GOOOO

[@Benshaus]

As an artist myself, this is what I aspire to do one day.

[@lazerscream]

jsyk! oppidan goes by she/her (: amazing video as always!

[@BowtiedMedia]

Yea thanks! My bad in not knowing before this video

[@lemonjuice.]

my personal top 3 this year would probably be WINK & nikko’s Seeing Double project, just all around best work, then Nikita, the Wicked’s iloveitwhentheyrun for the interesting and creative production and lastly Viperactive’s Bout to Break for just hitting. So glad Neddie and 1788-L are mentioned too, i love their flavor of dnb :>

[@mindyminds32]

Nikita, the Wicked's EP is personally in one of my top 3

[@lemonjuice.]

@@mindyminds32 real recognizes real

[@lemonjuice.]

ughhhh just realized i screwed up my original comment so i lost my bowtied heart 😭😭😭

[@wiimpyquasar7267]

CAMOUFLYYYYYYYYY i found him in 2023 through 'Baby' through spotify's recommended songs and he's done nothing but impress me with every following release. so glad he's getting the recognition he deserves here

[@jacobmontoya2585]

i love roadtrip sleeper and it's daft punkiness

[@SeviizDaniel]

No voljum - global tourist assembly EP? Btw that #1 is so good thanks camoufly for carrying garage this year with Oppidan and MPH.

[@apexofhumanity]

I remember when that Convexity album dropped. At first I was like, this is different and I got excited. Then I was like, great another very talented producer making undancable weirdness. I guess if you like to listen to EDM in your living room this is fine but I can't imagine wanting to see it live. How do you dance to this?

[@BowtiedMedia]

I wouldn't say the Convexity EP isn't made primarily for dancing, it's definitely more of a listening kinda project. That being said, I've totally danced and moved to stuff like that at clubs and festivals before and had an amazing time!

[@BananaBolsterDuck]

The snippets are a great palate cleanser after all the derivative crap I listened to in 2024.

[@SevenStarSkyes]

I found Convexity's music last year with the song Liminal, and I'll admit I have not kept up with his releases but after this video my mind has changed, and I'll definitely check out his songs and continue to keep an eye on whatever he'll release next

[@WaveSamu]

My favorite EPs released in 2024: 1. The Caracal Project - Self reflections: (not even close) 2. Bensley, Justin Hawkes, Kumarion - Carry The Fire 3. Caster - Sorcerer's Symphony 4. Blanke - Emergence interesting, 3 of 4 were released in january I think

[@TheMajorLeagueGinger]

Convexity and Kero make jazzstep slap everytime they show up

[@jacksteiner1034]

Needie is so consistent with this new wave he’s on

[@swagdaddydiego6643]

The Fae is so sick. My fav ep of the year was probably Kai Wachi’s Morphosia. Not for everyone for sure but fang I loved it.

[@WaveSamu]

loved it too, but its an album, not an EP

[@swagdaddydiego6643]

@ he called it an EP so I’m just going by what he said. It is longer than most eps for sure though.

[@Fabdidab]

I have found a lot of stuff that i have to listen to so much stuff that sounds verry good. My favorite EP of 2024 is RIOT Death Wish. Thanks for all the stuff that i now want and have to listening to not only in this Video i am most interested in Vylet Pony to listen to because l am a Brony so i think i will love this stuff.

[@ferraro_pietro]

No mention of Evocation by Koan Sound?

[@BowtiedMedia]

Honestly just fell off the list towards the end of the year. I didn't think it had as much staying power as the rest of their projects and or the other 10 EPs that made this list

[@NickDegenerate]

viperactive and marshmello not being on here is criminal

[@BowtiedMedia]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Twtching]

You gotta try Oppidans previous EP, Sol. It’s even better than her effort in 2024 imo! Both are great though!!

[@hexbenjamin]

word to beutnoise in the honourables !!!!

[@thenitoba]

brooo oppidan’s a woman‼️ let’s not miscredit the amazing female artists that we have in this scene and instead give them their chance to shine and achieve true equality🔥🙏

[@tonyroe6736]

Was about to say, Oppidan consistently gets misgendered 🙃 also she's hardly "new" to the scene

[@BowtiedMedia]

MY APOLOGIES! I don't know how I didn't know that. So sorry.

[@izadienjoyer]

17:41 VKTM MENTIONED!!!!!

[@iNubble]

YES SCROBELLY WAS SUCH A GOOD EP

[@shootabychoppa1510]

Scro mentioned based

[@retro_tcb]

yayyyyyy

[@roccor9223]

11:07 excellent rage bait we all know that's top 3 best songs on the album...

[@BowtiedMedia]

It's not "entirely" rage bait haha I do think dullscythe is Porter's worst song from all of his albums.

[@roccor9223]

​@@BowtiedMedia im a massive fan of the more ambient side of porter so ig that's why its so high up for me lol. she heals everything, dullscythe (when it opens up), god rays, wind tempos, hollowheart, sea of voices. oml

[@Z3rky17]

what about wireframe and emergence?

[@BowtiedMedia]

Wireframe is an album and Emergence is great, but not enough for me personally to land on this list.

[@tundra77]

no marcix 💔

[@BowtiedMedia]

I definitely enjoyed it, but not enough for it to have landed on this list for me

[@amytobias4]

not to be that personnnn but oppidan goes by she/her!

[@BowtiedMedia]

Yea sorry, I somehow didn't know that!

[@TrayvonLanton-ef9mw]

DISCIPLE!!!! 🔥😝🔥

[@BklynZu]

EDM was the worse description for Electronic music & to think that only came along to sell tickets at festivals then it destroyed the quality of the music and turned into this horrible sounding garbage nowadays from Monstar Cat

[@stereokuuji]

Maybe you should stop over listening to Monstercat as a quintessential source of good EDM

[@lemonjuice.]

i can’t tell if this is supposed to be offensive or not but thanks for spreading your opinion, whatever it means 😅

[@BklynZu]

@stereokuuji Monster Cat os definitely one of the reasons Electronic music sucks

[@BklynZu]

@@lemonjuice. the truth is what it I get you kids nowadays don't understand honesty you think everything is trolling no the reason the music sounds horrible is because the music has that ridiculous label that has a particular sound nowadays

[@stereokuuji]

@BklynZu no it's not Some of the artists on here HAVE RELEASED ON MONSTERCAT 😐
