Welcome to the first Music Discovery Digest—a new way to catch everything happening on The Sound Vault. Every [biweekly/when there’s enough good stuff], I’ll round up new deep dives, essential albums, rediscovered classics, and the tracks that kept me up late researching. Think of it as your curated guide to escaping algorithm hell, delivered straight to your inbox.


New Songs on The Sound Vault

I share song stories about tracks I love but never knew the full story behind—the musicians, the production details, the moments that made them matter. Revisiting these songs with context makes them even better. Here are 3 from this week. Got a beloved track you want me to dig into? Let me know in the comments.

→ Muse | Hysteria

Unbelievable intro, amazing bass line that gave full energy to all of us when we first heard it.

→ The Prodigy | Breathe

One of the most fascinating loops that made us move when I was a child—hard and danceable at the same time.

→ Minor Empire | Dostum Dostum

Reimagining of a 16th-century classic by Pir Sultan Abdal, a Turkish folk song about friendship and longing. I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening to this beautiful track—English translated lyrics inside.


New Music Discoveries

Fresh discoveries that captured my attention while listening to radios (probably Kıyı Müzik) or through random coincidences.

→ Mooncake, Ian Urbina | Somalia
