The rise of hyperpop keeps proving how far this space can stretch, with electronica bent and twisted into ear candy, rooted in the EDM and dubstep bass of the 2010s that was too addictive to let go. And in that evolving space, donsummit is building something unique.
Many artists are carving their niche within the sound: Lucy Bedroque with Y2K “pretty” aesthetics, The Twins with Indian instrumental fusion, and now donsummit with pixelated world building.
Just peep the track “You’re flying with a star”: glitchy, acidic distortions and toylike SFX that feel like a video game level, flying through a sky decorated with bullets. He’s talking about his rise, pulling you along with it. It feels animated, like a full world snapping into place around you. His singles’ surreal visualisers perfectly capture that effect.
donsummit is building a pixelated world in hyperpop…
He’s come a long way since his 2022 debut album DON, which already hinted at that pop energy. There’s a touch of Drain Gang in the sound, with deeper vocals grounding synths and off-kilter clashes that hit with unexpected emotion. On “screwed”, he leans into heartbreak, but the subtle game-like elements keep the backdrop playful, with that constant sense something could come at any moment - the production pulls you in, and the feeling keeps you there.
What locks everything into the modern hyperpop lane is his latest single “Pepsi”, blending playfulness with infatuation and pushing you straight into motion. You feel the decayed melodies surround you before the beat flips into pure rage. You can almost see the Y2K visuals forming around you - space-coded and weightless. The bass drives you forward, and the atmosphere keeps you lifted, fully euphoric.
Go listen to “Pepsi” out now!
