4. Crywolf
One of our all-time favorite producers, Justin Taylor Phillips continues to remain prolific while working but the sound design angle, and stretching out those pipes. Be prepared for an emotional minefield with this man's catalog. It's got all the feels.

While continuing to work and push his sound to new levels, Kaylan Brown has managed to align himself with great touring acts and an unbelievably powerful crew in the Hegemon collective. He is poised to explode in the back half of this year.
2. Sound Remedy
It's been a massive year for this producer out of Chicago. Strong buzz and rabid fans have made him a hard-touring act who has broken into some big venues in big markets without a ton of help from mainstream sources. While his sound maybe underground, the sonic remedy is real.
