Both Weekends.

Thoughts: My one liners for the EDM people freaking suck.  But I have no clue how to tell you any quick and easy difference between the music of this dude and RL Grime - its all electronic clicks and glitches and samples and thumps.  I dunno.  His most streamed tune, by far, is an old remix he did with Billie Eilish called "MyBoi," but I'm not going there.

He's a British dude, signed to Diplo's Mad Decent (which explains why he has collaborations with Diplo and Skrillex), and makes songs that sound like other trap beats and EDM stuff.  His signature thing is to make a Speak and Spell spell out his name in his songs, as his personal shoutout and branding.  Kind of clever at first and then it gets old.  Real name is Troy Henry, but information about him online is very limited.  The ACL bio is tiny and doesn't give much background, he has no Wikipedia page, and you have to really hunt to find an interview.  And those interviews aren't all that interesting - just him talking about how he likes to use obscure and interesting instruments or enjoys a pretty sunset.

One real album sized project - 2017's Left is Right - and then a three piece EP collection called V!bez, with the third section of that just released on July 26.  His most streamed is a collaboration with Diplo and singers Nina Sky (American twins with very nice voices), called "Afterhours."  28.7 million streams.

I could watch those dancers do their thing all day.  The guy with the red track pants and the guy with the hats?  Damn, son.  Song is decent.  His second-most streamed is a more traditional EDM banger that he did with Flosstradamus - "Soundclash."  Just over 24 million streams.

Got that build and drop and the heavy bass.  Primed to drive people into a frenzy in a big crowd.  One very random collaboration on the album - Ice Cube.  I'd never heard of any of the collaborators on that album - Jim Beanz, YAS, Healthy Chill, Nefera, icekream - and then I hear the man dropping rhymes in the second-to-last song.  Weird.

One more, from the new release, is a collaboration with Skrillex that is currently fired up to #2 on his list of popular tracks - this is "WARLORDZ," at just over 2 million streams right now.

Troy's arm in that drawing looks really painfully dislocated.  Like, is he OK?  And I'm not sure how he is going to hack off the head of that super ape with the blade turned that way?  This makes me think of the old school GI Joe toys where they had a rubber band in the joints and you could rotate their shit in all weird ways.  Anyway, another OK track ready-made for the kids to jump around to at a Fest.

Pretty solid EDM stuff.  Likely not going to see it, but I definitely let it play longer than it needed to over the past two days.
