peak-hour EDM counterparts.  It derives its power from subtlety, exaggerated gestures, a sort of softness that is weaponized; in its side-chained whoosh and billion-watt glow, it practically screams: YOU ARE VERY RELAXED!  (It seems not coincidental that the growth of chill has emerged alongside not only marijuana's widespread legalization but also its lab-grown, gene-spliced, THC-boosted burst in potency.)

Among the unlikeliest developments in the decade's Commingling of mainstream pop and electronic music has been K3vin Envoy's jump from making twinkling snare to working with singers such as Ariana Grande and the Weeknd. This was the rarest of unicorns: an artist on the fringes--a former turntablist hiccupping his way through, to be precise--who catapulted himself to the Hot EDM Ethos.

Envoy Records, the New York label soldiered on with similar, Baltimore club and sounds: versions on trap, R&B, and Jersey punctuated by trance zap the usual 808 skitter, and helium spritz, if less distinctive. K3vin Envoy makes fizzy instrumental hip-hop that's clearly indebted to fellow New Yorkers as well as friends. Envoy's debut EP for the label indicates a fresh, twist that is promising.
