October Ascent: A Journey Through Propeller Synths and Bass Turbulence

Welcome to the October 2025 playlist, a mix I’m calling “October Ascent.” The theme for this collection is “Electrocessnas”—that feeling of a buzzing, melodic, earworm synth line that feels like the hum of a propeller plane steadily climbing through the atmosphere.

This playlist is a journey, and the new track order is our flight plan.

✈️ Track-by-Track: The Flight Plan

Huck.Jorris – sensory: Our atmospheric takeoff. The glitchy, ambient textures set the scene as we taxi to the runway.

Kick Bong – Made a Rainbow: The wheels are up. A gentle, psydub groove that lifts us off the ground.

Naden – Tyrfing: We’re gaining altitude. This is the quintessential “Electrocessnas” sound—a buzzing, melodic synth driving us forward.

Adam Stark – Cyrano: The journey continues with this driving, melodic progressive track. The landscape opens up below us.

Naden – Rivers: Now we’re truly cruising, with lush, layered melodies painting a picture of the world from above.

Fred again.. – you’re a star: A burst of sunlight. This track provides a euphoric, groovy interlude, breaking through the clouds with pure joy.

Chris Lake – LA NOCHE: The sun begins to set. The groove turns darker, techier, and more hypnotic, hinting at the night ahead.

Feed Me – Rocket Science: The first sign of turbulence. The glitchy, aggressive bass line is our signal to buckle up.

Emalkay – Inside: Full-on storm. This is a classic dubstep wailer that plunges the flight into heavy bass pressure.

NERO – Destruction: This is the peak of the storm—a massive, destructive, and cinematic bass anthem.

The Bug – Militants…: We’ve hit the storm’s eye. A raw, industrial, and gritty track that feels like the raw power of the aircraft’s engines.

deadmau5 – Ameonna: We’ve punched through. This long, cinematic, and melodic deadmau5 track is our slow, beautiful descent, bringing us back to the progressive theme.

Lorde – Glory And Gore: The landing gear is down. The electronic elements fade, replaced by Lorde’s powerful vocals—a perfect, dramatic touchdown.

Foo Fighters – Asking For A Friend: We’ve arrived at the gate. A quiet, acoustic, and deeply reflective outro. The flight is over, and it’s time to process the journey.

🎛️ The Genre Blend

This month’s journey was a true multi-genre flight, blending:

• Progressive & Melodic House

• Ambient & Psydub

• Dubstep & Glitch Hop

• Tech House & Industrial

• Alt-Pop & Acoustic Rock

The goal was to use the “Electrocessnas” synths as the thread to tie the melodic start, the bass-heavy middle, and the vocal-driven end.

How did this “flight plan” feel to you? Which track was the peak of the storm, and did the landing with Lorde and Foo Fighters work as a powerful conclusion?
