  • Jonas Bengio, AKA Viewtiful Joe, makes bouncy, Detroit-style electro that's perfect for when you're on the move. His productions radiate kinetic energy, which makes sense given his namesake—a Japanese video game series full of fight sequences. "Sweet Fifths" teems with hi-fi synth lines, bursts of boogie and jerky breaks that create a retro vibe, but it's not just video game pastiche. Rather than match game music's wired pace, Bengio hits a cerebral note with atmospheric textures in the background that speak to his love for IDM.
