I felt a little overwhelmed by Rob Alexander’s “Get Over Yourself” when I listened to it for the first time. It comes on like gangbusters with its hyperdrive electronic riffing and Alexander’s singing flirts with histrionics. He has a declamatory vocal style and its theatrical edge won’t appeal to everyone. Listeners who relish songwriting emotions…

In 2018, Chicago producer INZO dropped “Overthinker,” and future bass would never be the same. “Overthinker” was wildly adventurous, full of rhythmic switches, drops, floor-quaking bass, and mind-warping synthesizer.
