| 2 | Dream State | "Taunt Me" | single | I love a lot of things, |
| 3 | Falconshield | "Death To The King" | single | and individual humans who don't love many unrelated things puzzle and sadden me, |
| 4 | The Spider Accomplice | "Fire The Sorrow" | The Venomous Montage 6 | but I instinctively expect authority and creativity to be diverse |
| 5 | Epica | "The Great Tribulation (feat. Fleshgod Apocalypse)" | The Great Tribulation (feat. Fleshgod Apocalypse) +1 | only in aggregate. |
| 6 | Carpathia | "Beloved" | single | My dream world, |
| 7 | Victoria K | "Raptum" | Kore | and in this case I mean this literally, as there is a city that recurs in my dreams |
| 8 | Antonamasia | "Kinesis" | single | and as best I know exists there alone, |
| 9 | Eternal Frequency | "War" | single | in which the subterranean layer beneath the buildings is an endless irregular labyrinth |
| 10 | Carmilla | "Hear My Voice" | single | of hyperspecialized food stalls: |
| 11 | Defueld | "Saints & Sinners" | single | makers of a single perfect burrito; |
| 12 | KiaRa | "We Are the Stardust" | Archangel | bakers of one otherwise-unattainable caramel-oatmeal donut; |
| 13 | Molllust | "Venus - Poems of Love" | Venus - Poems of Love +2 | embowlers of ramen who offer you only the choice between too much garlic and way too much garlic; |
| 14 | Debler Eternia | "Catrina" | Perversso | Liege waffletiers who hand you a gleaming, crackly waffle in a fold of thin velum if you get anywhere near them. |
| 15 | Everfrost | "Hacking to the Gate" | single | The notional corresponding nightmare, which I mercifully don't actually have, |
| 16 | My Own Ghost | "Home" | Shadow People | is a suburban office-park Cheesecake Factory that has run out of cheesecake, |
| 17 | Eluveitie | "Exile Of The Gods" | Exile Of The Gods +1 | in which every culinary precedent is reduced to a hashtag aesthetic |
| 18 | E-An-Na | "Suit în Nor" | single | applied to ponderous calorie overload with a willful distaste for actual culture |
| 19 | Lodestar | "Show Me A Sign" | Wanderers 4 | and a comprehensive style-guide of brand identity. |
| 20 | Hoaxed | "The Knowing" | The Knowing +2 | I recoil with a flourish from the telltale clues of audient commodification: |
| 21 | Bloody Hammers | "And Soon the Darkness" | Washed In the Blood | pervasive stock photography; |
| 22 | Powerwolf | "My Will Be Done" | My Will Be Done +2 | swellingly emotive music that sounds like somebody peeled the backing off of a real song you can't quite place, |
| 23 | Dreamtale | "Powerplay" | Wellon 3 | and then dropped the rest of it in the street; |
| 24 | Dragonland | "Resurrecting an Ancient Technology" | The Power Of The Nightstar | aspirational labeling intent on telling you the kind of person it wants you to want to be |
| 25 | Freternia | "Dark And The Light" | single | instead of admitting what it's selling |
| 26 | Gomorra | "Stand United" | Stand United +1 | or celebrating what it emits; |
| 27 | Onward | "Onward We Sail" | Onward We Sail +1 | carefully curated anonymity designed not only to keep you from seeking other sources, |
| 28 | Induction | "Go To Hell" | Go To Hell +2 | but to render "other sources" structurally suspicious. |
| 29 | White Skull | "Ad Maiora Semper" | single | Why do you think Amazon cheerfully buries you in endless nonsensically-named vendors you've never heard of |
| 30 | Molotov Train | "Worlds Together" | Worlds Together 5 | all claiming very unapologetically to be selling the same exact image |
| 31 | Saltatio Mortis | "Odins Raben" | single | of an uncannily compelling color-block hoodie |
| 32 | U.D.O. | "Wilder Life" | Wilder Life +1 | that may or may not even exist? |
| 33 | Alter Bridge | "Dead Among the Living" | Pawns & Kings | They have turned online shopping into a two-sided casino |
| 34 | Soen | "Snuff" | Snuff +1 | in which the self-employed operators of rigged games are allowed |
| 35 | Astral Experience | "Marioneta de Cristal" | single | to cheat themselves out of business by quantifying gamblers' gullibilities, |
| 36 | Scars of Solitude | "Cruelty has a Human Heart" | single | after which they can be rehired as minimum-possible-wage suppliers |
| 37 | Gothminister | "Star" | Star +2 | of the same thing to be re-sold under the only brand anybody is allowed to still trust. |
| 38 | The Sade | "King and Queen" | single | My dream food-maze is a two-sided marketplace, too, in at least some underlying sense. |

| 42 | Oferwintran | "Prince Kelyddon" | It Often Befalls Those | The enchilada kiosk has been replaced with corn dogs sold over a counter shaped, |
| 43 | Cornoctuan | "Leaden Star (The Lightless, Pt. I)" | single | for reasons that are not immediately obvious, like a komodo dragon |
| 44 | envy | "Seimei" | single | in brocaded slippers. |
| 45 | Lavitte | "Orchestra" | single | I presume there are factors other than the proprietors' convictions, |
| 46 | AIBECK | "WANTED" | single | that the mania for caramel-oatmeal donuts might surge and then subside |
| 47 | AliA | "Cinderella Story" | single | until the proposition ceases to be viable. |
| 48 | yosugala | "escalate" | single | I blame myself. |
| 49 | PiXMiX | "今宵、この指とまれ!" | single | I didn't dream enough, |
| 50 | JIEMEI | "REALIZE" | single | or in my dreams I am too often too full of ramen to eat a donut. |
| 51 | YURiKA | "Crave" | single | Things end and other things begin, |
| 52 | 友希 | "Lost" | single | even in imaginary utopias, |
| 53 | 結束バンド | "ひとりぼっち東京" | 青春コンプレックス 4 | but because there are more joys than we can organize at once, |
| 54 | Ado | "missing" | single | not to maximize infrastructural margins. |
| 55 | 04 Limited Sazabys | "Glowing" | Harvest | The best infrastructure aspires to invisibility, |
| 56 | れん | "最低" | single | not identity: |
| 57 | Drippin So Pretty | "It's Over" | single | the unbranded air, |
| 58 | 44phantom | "hurricane" | hurricane +1 | the pipes in the second level below the food-maze, |
| 59 | Senses | "save myself" | single | the wires in our walls, |
| 60 | Thanks! I Hate It | "Nobody Actually Likes The Tambourine" | single | the quiet, patient math that takes note of our collective will. |
| 61 | Anthem for Maria | "Vanilla" | single | A market is two-"sided" by definition, |
| 62 | CHNDTR | "NAMIMISS" | single | and you should never trust anybody trying to sell you things that can't help but exist, |
| 63 | Lola Amour | "dahan-dahan" | dahan-dahan +1 | tools for maximizing the inevitable, |
| 64 | Leia Destruye | "El Oleaje" | single | opportunities to be passively optimized. |
| 65 | Paty Cantú | "Mi Película" | single | We've seen this movie already, |
| 66 | Temecula Road | "Wrong Ones Do" | single | and know we're never in it. |
| 67 | Taylor Bickett | "QUARTER LIFE CRISIS" | single | That's not why we watch, |
| 68 | Lizzie Cates | "King of Hearts" | single | or why we listen. |
| 69 | Allie Sherlock | "This Is So Sad" | single | We do not take ahold of these songs to pull them out of the sky |
| 70 | Dan Reeder | "You Don't Have to Ask" | You Don't Have to Ask +3 | and replace them with our own. |
| 71 | Noah Kahan | "All My Love" | Stick Season | We grab them to lift ourselves into their infinite midst: |
| 72 | PJ North | "Did It To Yourself" | single | burritos and donuts and ramen, |
| 73 | Betty Who | "BIG" | BIG! | mythic roar and vindictive twang and redemptive whispers. |
| 74 | mahina | "Pistol" | single | In my sleep I wave at the two donut guys, |
| 75 | Toni Romiti | "The Old Me" | single | with their matching Cthulhu sleeve tattoos and Carleton class-rings, |
| 76 | Killumantii | "Get Em Girl" | My Bad I’m Late | who refuse to learn my name no matter how many times I put it on my Toast pickup order, |
| 77 | Mariska | "Kiva ku on kivaa" | Mäihä | and dart down the tunnel to the next plaza, |
| 78 | Heviteemu | "Hymyn takaa" | single | as if nobody but me has ever ventured from ramen and donuts |
| 79 | Sub-Radio | "Everything I Had" | single | to the unimagined kiosks next door: |
| 80 | Kitai | "Cometa Halley" | single | warmly pressed focaccia sandwiches with smoked kale and runny French cheese, |
| 81 | Airbag | "La marmota Phil" | single | cold Oolong dragonfruit milk teas over mounds of warm brown-sugar boba, |
| 82 | Skay Beilinson | "Yo Soy la Máquina" | single | vast slices of sausage-and-broccoli-rabe pizza like you could eat half and still fold the rest into Napoleon's hat. |
| 83 | Say Ocean | "Perfectas Condiciones" | Perfectas Condiciones | I don't just love the things I love, |
| 84 | Mei Emrys | "Bore Sul (Yn Ei Thŷ Hi)" | single | I love the things I know I haven't loved yet. |
| 85 | Wikus Botma | "My Nannas" | single | I love the songs I don't understand and might like less if I did, |
| 86 | David Jones David | "Don't Judge Me - With Beat" | single | and the ones that seem like they might be terrible examples of whatever they really are, |
| 87 | Sdala B | "Amaphupho" | single | and I give them to you in this glorious disarray, |
| 88 | Indoni | "SEKWANELE" | Zimbili Izitha Zendoda | not because I know more about this than you, which statistically I might, |
| 89 | Sminofu | "Iphakade" | Gqiba I Bigger | but because I don't know how not to. |
| 90 | Fihliskhwele | "Izulu Lenhlupheko" | single | I grab your hand and pull you into the next tunnel, |
| 91 | Qondani Mthethwa | "Vukani Madoda" | Umkhuzi Wamasosha | towards halls I've forgotten or never myself been, |
| 92 | Mabe Fratti | "Desde el Cielo" | Se Ve Desde Aquí | not because I'm sure you'll love guava empanadas studded with volcanic salt, |
| 93 | Valentina Magaletti | "Low Delights" | single | or peanut and roasted squash-seed stew eaten with quivery cubes of pounded yam, |
| 94 | Ayşe Betül | "Ölücem Burda" | single | or mooncakes embossed with Tibetan translations of passages from Kafka, |
| 95 | Loke Rahbek | "Summer" | Together | but because I want you to have this ecstatic experience of the infinite, too, |
| 96 | Fire-Toolz | "A Moon In The Morning" | I will not use the body's eyes today. | and as much as I know that exploration is not a path you can be pulled along, |
| 97 | Andile Cele | "Abathanda Ukuphila - Ithuluzi" | single | I need you to see that the world just keeps going. |
| 98 | Emma Hewitt | "COLLIDE" | COLLIDE +3 | I have nothing to sell you here, and if anything I defy you to follow these steps, evasive in their endlessness or vice versa. |

| 101 | SMR LVE | "Time After Time" | single | The clock ticks; confusion is always a clue or a call |
| 102 | Kontrollverlust | "Luka" | Luka +2 | from worlds nested almost inside of your own in which everything is dangerous or just different. |
| 103 | Harakiri for the Sky | "Mad World" | single | Informed enthusiasm shares more with naive glee than with studied disdain. |
| 104 | The Animal In Me | "I2I" | single | I don't even remember this song. I don't know what's in these dumplings. |
| 105 | Sunday Friend | "We Are Never Getting Back Together" | Throwback - EP 4 | I turn a corner of the maze and the girl at the chai stand is playing "Take the Money and Run" on a pink bluetooth speaker, and I love everything I have ever loved and it doesn't stop. |
| 106 | Halocene | "Unholy" | single | We draw arbitrary boundaries in order to make it easier, and thus safer, |
| 107 | Social Repose | "Unholy" | single | to transgress, |
| 108 | For I Am King | "Running Up That Hill" | single | and then we look at each other across them as if our positions encode choices we cannot unmake without divine intervention. |
| 109 | My Own Ghost | "Dark River" | Shadow People | I'm not asking for your trust. I pull you into the next world and then I let go of your hand. I don't need you to want these songs, no matter how perfect they seem to me. We too are perfect. Perfection is not scarce. I just want you to believe that and want to follow any paths that lead towards even more of it. |
