It's so odd that no one has suggested witch's slave as a Featured Artist, considering some of their songs went on to be extremely popular within osu!, examples such as artefatto vita to name a few very brief examples.

Their hardstyle-sounding music style plus having been featured in other rhythm games like Arcaea make them a no-brainer choice to include in osu! too.

Another suggestion I'm actually relatively surprised wasn't suggested either. Halozy has been consistently relevant within the osu! community for over a decade, having some of the most famous maps in the game itself, a good example of which could be Hollow Wings' maps of Deconstruction Star among many other famous maps within the game. Halozy has left a sizeable footprint within osu! so it'd make sense to bring them aboard.

They have collaborated with many independent creators in the past too, examples being Nanahira & macaroom, to release plenty of iconic songs during their time.

Demetori

Official Website: http://demetori.xii.jp/

This one skipped my mind completely when I was writing but I might as well edit my post with a 3rd suggestion. Demetori has always been a classic artist for osu!, with songs being mapped as far back as 2009 with Ghostly Eyes by happy30. Demetori has remained relevant in osu! for well over 11 years at this point with new Ranked maps appearing as recent as April 2020.

Demetori has a reputation in osu!, for a lot of newer players they're seen as the "final boss" maps to test their mettle, and for top players - a way to challenge themselves. With metal guitar solos to rival the likes of DragonForce. Not to mention they've teamed up with nao under the alias DystopiaGround. Demetori seems like a total no-brainer for osu!

I'd like to suggest onoken/axsword to be featured. He already made a wide variety of different styles of music, with much rhythm variety and some of his songs have also been mapped as well on osu. I think he'd make a great addition for every mapper, seeking a challenge or getting started.

Demetori

Website http://demetori.xii.jp/

Classic in the osu! community, with many popular maps such as World's End, Sentimental Skyscraper by Happy30, etc.

Demetori has been in the osu! community for ~11 years, which is why they should be a FA.

I’m surprised I don’t see her name more when talking about FAs, but Reol feels like the perfect fit.

VINXIS’ set of No Title is the most played map in the game outside bundled maps, and the 2nd most favorited outside bundled maps (behind High Score, made by Panda Eyes and Teminite, the latter of which is a featured artist).

Reol and the group REOL are absolutely legendary in the community, and having them as featured artist would be a dream come true for many osu! players. Judging that Reol’s utaite roots have given lots of vocaloid covers over the years, a lot of their songs are already recognized and loved by the community, even if they didn’t originally come through Reol/REOL.

I want to suggest Dirty Palm. I think he's a fairly underrated EDM artist. Most of his music belongs to the Bounce, Future bounce and Future House genre, but his style has evolved into something even more wild recently.
I suggest him, because the kind of music that he makes is pretty much non-existent in osu! and even the EDM genre as a whole is still the minority here.

I'm not sure whether all of his songs can be found on his soundcloud, but it's probably the most appropriate platform to link here https://soundcloud.com/palmkillit .

https://myukke.bandcamp.com/music

Hello~ I'd like to suggest TheFatRat as a featured artist.

This is because he is an amazing EDM artist who makes songs in a wide variety of EDM genres. He doesn't copyright his music on YouTube and actively encourages people to remix his music and use it in their videos. His music is also often seen in ESports competitions. As for his popularity in osu, his song "Mayday" has over 14 million plays on osu beatmaps, spread across three different ranked mapsets, with one of them being a nightcore mix. Considering unranked mapsets, there seems to be tons of them out there.

I think his vocal focused songs would be intressting thing to see mapped, Data & Picard
Some of his old songs that are more instrumental focused would be intressting to see too!
I think Pogo would fit the roll for featured artist greatly!

BROCKHAMPTON?

so, i think brockhampton could be a possible good featured artist for osu, and can provide edgier mappers (like myself) something to map. a lot of fa's appeal to either tech mappers, or to people in mappers guild, and there's not really any fa's that can appeal to edgy/movement mappers such as myself.

with em0nky's map "NO HALO" getting ranked, i think introducing more brockhampton maps can appeal to the osu community. now, they are mainstream, unlike other fa's, but i think it won't really be that bad. their songs appeal to more of the edgier mapping community, and i think that could be a good change in osu's fa listing. plus, more people might come over to osu (but we have to make sure they aren't anti-weebs)

i think with them being fa, we could introduce more western music to osu, and yeah, a few of their songs are tik tok trends, but so what?

Chipzel and Shirobon are also known in other games such as Just Shapes & Beats, Project Arrhythmia, and Super Hexagon.

I chose these two since their songs are pretty popular in the Geometry Dash community (such as 1nf1n1ty's remix of "Within the Sadness", "Calm Craggy Area", and Lemkuuja's "Whats the Future Funk?" and "Ouais Ouais")

I would love to see the osu! version of these artist and I'm happy with them being featured.

Sorry if the list is long but they make very good music and I think they should be featured in this game because mappers will enjoy using more of their songs. Not to mention that these artists also make songs for other rhythm games as well.

Thanks!!!

Arch Echo
okay these guys just fucking slap
i discovered them by accident few days ago, and well, i was blown away. amazing progressive metal band that has a lot of low bpm songs with interesting rhythm and epic keyboard solos
i'm genuinly surprised why no one ever mapped them on osu so far, i think its a great material for mapping, especially when most of their stuff is over 5 minutes
featuring them would prob also give them some attention which they totally deserve!

Wave Meow

Their music has a cute, fun feel to it that I think would lend itself well to beatmapping for various modes. From what I can tell they seem to be a relatively small-time artist.

WOTAKU

Definitely some of the most hardcore vocaloid music out there. Not many songs of theirs have been mapped seemingly. If they have they have very little attention.

Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChl7kAxzdXCUQDQzk5Qm30g

This song in particular is a great example: https://youtu.be/M-5OSd5x2uc

Kozato Snow

Made beautiful songs that have been used before such as 45nen No Yukizakura, Tsuki -Yue- and others.

Here are some maps of his songs:

45nen No Yukizakura: beatmapsets/50771#osu/155929
Tsuki -Yue-: beatmapsets/286411#mania/646606
Izayoi Sakura: beatmapsets/162371#osu/396105
Rengetsu Ouka: beatmapsets/24765#osu/89856

It's like traditional japanese music but remixed. I think he deserves a spot as featured artist

He also has a new YouTube where he is ing new music

Their songs are Artcore-styled and fit rhythm games quite a lot. The mapping community also seems to have liked both of these and this can be seen due to the amount of ranked maps of songs by these artists.

NANORAY

- Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/nanoray
- Twitter: https://twitter.com/Nanoraydx
- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/62JS3xgd6kKS7OjzHNSFv1

NANORAY is a drum'n'bass artist reminiscent of the late 90's and early 00's scene mixed with modern style of vaporwave. They're a very talented and diverse artist that is extremely underrated and their music is entirely original, having a couple of their albums already on spotify. I think they would be an excellent artist for all game modes as they strongly have similarities to artists that are already popular such as Iglooghost.

The Caracal Project

- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1m3Z3kHjeDDFzKNWqvTlYN?si=ti_wzD19T2uW4MMDRuvDUA
- Twitter: https://twitter.com/felixcaracal

The Caracal Project is a dark drum'n'bass artist with slight influences of neurofunk & dubstep, they have a really unique style. The material is very unusual for DnB and it's very fast and intense, this kind of thing would be extremely well suited to the osu! standard gameplay, and the artist has similarities to other popular artists we have here such as Rusty K, Dictate and so on.

garlagan 11206c

they make fairly low bpm experimental (not really) electronic music. basically a tone down version of camellia is an easy way to put it. could be good for beginner mappers learning how to make a tech map.

THE BINARY

- Twitter: https://twitter.com/BNRY_official
- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/60X2RP6vK5pB964r0LyK5X
- Website: https://the-bnry.com/

THE BINARY is a j-rock group with slight jazz influences. They're a really talented and diverse artist that is quickly rising in popularity in the JP scene. They follow the recent trend of popularity in j-rock artists like Yorushika and YOASOBI, and their songs offer really interesting rhythms and instrumental solos that lend themselves to great beatmaps.

Some of my favorite songs I've already ranked, so I'll link them below:
花に雨を、君に歌を - THE BINARY's first song featuring both , mido and あかまる
Other songs:
呼吸する春たち - This song is part of a 3 song series, with this one featuring mido, another featuring あかまる, and the last one featuring both of them in a sort of melding of the two songs.
EgoもIdも単純に - This song is so lively and is one of the first songs they released.

Hi! I suggest Dreamcatcher.

They're a kpop group mainly rocking the rock genre but many of their songs sound like anime openings lol. They're already known to make songs for games, too! Also need more kpop, there are many Dreamcatcher fans out there in osu! and kpop fans in general. Dreamcatcher just really suits osu! the most.

1. (Made for a game) 잠들 수 없는 슈팅 액션 RPG ‘걸카페건’ OST Release. Dreamcatcher(드림캐쳐) ‘R.o.S.E BLUE’
2. Here's what I mean by rock theme Dreamcatcher(드림캐쳐) ‘Break The Wall’
3. Here's what I mean by "some songs sound like anime openings" (obviously osu! players really enjoy those) Dreamcatcher(드림캐쳐) ‘하늘을 넘어’ (Over the Sky)
4. Their most recent title song Dreamcatcher(드림캐쳐) ‘BOCA’

SVΞNS or SVENS

one of great artist electronic music, that making a lots electronic music such retro, chill and many more.
the genres chosen is great calming songs. bring more experience to mapping itself!

recently, one of their music just qualified in osu!mania beatmapsets/1088978

- osu! profile s/12096335
- soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/svens_project
- vk https://vk.com/svensink

My suggestion is the band Whispered.

A quick summary of the group would be: Finland meets ancient Japan.

Why should you have them as featured artists? Inspired by ancient Japan, they combine death metal with oriental vibes and folk instruments like no other Featured Artist - and they do it right.

Examples of their work: https://youtu.be/zyZp2ksMY_Y & https://youtu.be/MBgdo1W9Tcc

Slugdge

A fairly underground metal band that has a lot of very varied music. "Cosmic Cornucopia" is 3 album's worth of songs that rarely resemble any of the others. Their recent album "Esoteric Malacology" has very interesting diverse metal tracks. I think it would help a lot to diversify the metal FA line-up by including them, since right now it is pretty weak in my opinion.

Elroy
https://soundcloud.com/elr_oy
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2-ajQm0rsXI5Qs3YuDmsA

a small producer/songwriter who would bring in some more genre variety (indie/hip hopish). he keeps his instrumentals really fresh for different sections which makes his songs really rewarding to map, heres an example: beatmapsets/1194835#osu/2489207

he seems very reachable and i think he'd be a breath of fresh air

Sieudiver

Reason: I mostly like his Touhou arrangements and I think he would be a somewhat good contribution to song diversity. He made some work with Milky chan but he might be considerd unkown in general. Finding new music is one of the good things with osu! right? He also been making music over a long period of time and he seem to experiement or try out new things so im expecting more and better music in the future.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF8sADcZsvs&feature=youtu.be&t=13 Two songs id say would be pretty good for osu!

Belmont is a pop punk/easycore band out of Chicago. They have their signature high-tempo punk music as well as their latest EP "Reflections", which borrows elements from hip-hop. Their fantastic drummer Brian Lada makes each of their songs rhythmically interesting and energetic.

These are some of my favorites from them:

Here to suggest Within Destruction! I think they'd be another awesome addition to the heavier side of artists that we have in FA, they also do their own AMVs for their music so what's not to love??

Here's a link to their music releases on their website: https://sadboikroo.com/pages/music

Their most recent release "YŌKAI" (Bandcamp link: https://withindestruction.bandcamp.com/album/y-kai) is an incredible mix of trap, metalcore + deathcore and would bring a massive new sound to the existing lineup.

Stessie

An EDM producer who explores different genres such as future bass/hardcore/house, drum'n'bass or (melodic) dubstep. Stessie makes a lot of happy and energetic songs that would be perfect in osu!.

An artist who makes a lot of hardcore and electronic stuff using anime and video game samples. Their songs are high bpm and very engaging, which would make for some good maps. A lot of their songs have already been mapped before, and I would consider some of those maps such as IVALTEK to be pretty iconic and well known

Antti Martikainen
His music is, like he describes himself "epic soundtrack music" - featuring a lot of symphonic, melodic tracks mixed with medieval and celtic folk, sometimes even using metal and electronic elements.
No idea what else to write here - just check him out, his every album is something different! I'd personally recommend checking Northern Steel :}

Dance Gavin Dance

Hailing from the same musical realm as Featured Artist PUP (Rise Records) Dance Gavin Dance is one of those strong, powerhouse metal bands with rhythm game friendly music (at least, instrumentally). A lot of songs are fast, with some featuring multiple tempo and style changes. With a very large catalogue of music to choose from, with multiple songs ranked or loved (NASA / I'm Down With Brown Town, Tree Village, and Frozen One), they are among metal acts that could truly shine in the modern mapping scene

E ve is a Japanese Vocaloid producer and singer-songwriter. He signed to Toy's Factory in 2019. He is also a guest in "SCHOOL OF LOCK!" by Tokyo FM.

His music has been featured in the anime Dororo and Jujutsu Kaisen.

paraoka

paraoka is a well-known Japanese doujin artist who has produced tracks for years, focusing primarily on the Denpa and J-Pop genres.
Many of his songs have been charted in various rhythm games and he was a prolific BMS composer as well.
He has collaborated as a part of the Diverse System circle and Koujimachi Yousankan/Koujimachi-ongen with haru*nya.
Many of his works as part of Koujimachi Yousankan have been mapped and ranked in osu! and they have held up well for a long time (Dreadnought, Manima ni, petal-go-round, Rampage, ponytail)
It would be very nice to see him as a Featured Artist in osu! after all these years.

Taishi

Taishi is a notable Japanese producer specializing in trance and other forms of electronic and EDM.
He has worked on doujin albums, Vocaloid tracks, and even anime soundtracks.
Even if you don't recognize his name directly, he has worked on various songs which have achieved high popularity in the osu! community:
He has worked with Yoshiharu Kato under the name Electro.muster (A Sugar Business) and collaborated with Ringo Aoba as part of Träkker (Trail of Dust, Rootus).
He also has lead the music production for the Ongaku Shoujo project, providing many popular tracks (Justability, Winteright, Perfect Free, Back to Marie)
Having Taishi as a Featured Artist would be exciting to see as his music is high quality and have been the foundation for the beatmaps we know and love.

nmk

nmk is a producer primarily focused on Eurobeat and Touhou doujin works. He has worked on BMS tracks (notably sola which has 4 ranked maps) and has produced under many Touhou circles (EastNewSound, SPACELECTRO, SuganoMusic).
His music is highly fitting for rhythm games and it would be interesting to see more of his works be exposed to a larger audience and elaborated on by the community's beatmaps; I believe he should be considered for being a Featured Artist.

DJ Command is a Eurobeat producer who is well-experienced with Touhou doujin music and rhythm game soundtracks.
He has produced for years and many of his contributions are well-known in the osu! community, as part of circles such as A-One (Magic Girl !!, Bamboo Dance) and NJK Record (WARNING!, Crazy Hot, Spring of Dreams).
He currently works under the Eurobeat Union circle (which might be worth considering as a whole, with FN2 and NU-KO also being notable artists!)
Considering the popularity of his music in the rhythm game scene I believe he would be a good fit as a Featured Artist.

Capchii

https://soundcloud.com/capchii/
https://capchii.bandcamp.com/
https://twitter.com/capchii/

Capchii demonstrates mastery of several electronic genres from hardcore to hi-tech to future bass to... you name it. If the instrumental melodies aren't convincing enough didn't get you hooked, fear not, many of the tracks are often paired with sugary cutey vocals or vocaloid. The artist has released a plethora of songs that are just begging to be mapped to, both in the form of albums (see: bandcamp) and single releases of remixes of catchy tunes (see: soundcloud). The best part; many of Capchii's songs are free releases, so the legal hurdles to get as big a listing of songs as possible featured should be minimal.

Good starting points for digging in:

https://soundcloud.com/capchii/chocolate-lonely-logic-ft-nanoha (kawaii future bass)
https://soundcloud.com/capchii/inazuma-fuse (nice oriental atmosphere accompanied with some fast kick and koto trill rhythms; 2 minutes of hi-tech greatness perfectly fit for rhythm games)

Album: Pastel Melody - nice beats + cute female vocals, what is there to not love about this
Album: Memories - mostly instrumental songs of various genres; I could imagine almost any song on this album to be mapped

I am just going to drop this here then disappear again.

Archspire 6v2u6t

Archspire is a Canadian technical death metal band, that could be described shortly as speedy, brutal, and tech. The band is well-known in the metalheads' community. I'm pretty sure their music would fit for the taiko gamemode, cause of the fast 300+ bpm parts. Archspire has fans into the osu! community too and g upping them would increase the interest in their stuff even more. Also a ranked map by them would be great start making them a FA :^)

Vansire

A Dream Pop Band duo based from Minnesota, they have been creating songs since 2015 with two of their maps being ranked by Every Time Around) with both accepting their use of their songs on osu! as well as giving appreciation to wafer's own maps (Tweet)

Yahpp

Do every PIU artist deny osu! ? I bet Yahpp doesn't.
He worked at ANDAMIRO during 1999~2008 and produced lots of classic remixes and sometimes original musics. Here's the list of them


Of course there's some of ranked stuffs. But no recently since it is not sure if this is copyright stuff or not. Happy to say, he doesn't matter about this if osu! is free-to-play and doesn't make benefit like money.
He also worked for games and expert at composing. He recently presents musics to StepManiaX. Here's the list.

1. Winter (2021 Yahpp Remix)
2. Dr.M (2021 Yahpp Remix)
3. Beethoven Virus (2021 Yahpp Remix)

tv room

An American artist renowned for his unique "indie pop" genre style of music along with having songs released under the "DESKPOP" label. Although he is not that popular, his songs were exposed to a larger audience after having some of his songs licensed for a Roblox 'rhythm game' called "RoBeats" and started gaining a lot more streams on Spotify as of the said event (He even had a mashup made for his songs in the game), motivating him to start producing music again after a sort of hiatus (If you're interested, he has a new EP that is coming out on November this year). He already has some of his songs mapped and published on the servers on this game (Including the recent ranked sets using his songs wafer's Osu!Standard set of "Know It All"), and I think he would be a good choice for bringing song variety into the Featured Artist library.

METAROOM
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYnehH2tHxmTRqjTiuzzA8w/about

METAROOM is an experimental artit who makes songs that fall under aesthetic labels like dreamcore and ENAwave
Their style is a weird mix of rave, breakcore, footwork, and trance.

While new to the osu! scene and currently having only one ranked map, METAROOM's eclectic out-of-this-world electronic fusion is excellent for elaborate rhythm gaming, as proven by Nifty's recent map of the song SPIKEY BOI.

METAROOM's over-the-top cascade of jittery, psychedelic and somewhat cartoony theme'll likely appeal to those who enjoy tracks from Frums, Grynpyret, LeaF, ALEPH, sakuraburst, onumi, and The Flashbulb. Outside of the current featured artist listing, their music could be compared to the likes of Nanode, NANORAY, bo en, and Iglooghost.

I think Kikuo (きくお) would be a good Featured Artist to add because their songs are great and sometimes with dark/bizarre lyrics, but that makes the songs more interesting! These are my favourite Kikuo (きくお) songs:

カラカラカラのカラ (Kara Kara Kara no Kara)
愛して愛して愛して (Aishite Aishite Aishite)
しかばねの踊り (Shikabane no Odori)
君はできない子 (Kimi wa dekinai ko)
ごめんね ごめんね (Gomenne Gomenne)

Kikuo (きくお) is a freelance music producer from the Kanagawa prefecture (神奈川県). He is a composer, arranger, lyricist, mixing and mastering engineer. His style of work is DTM-based
KikuoHana (きくおはな) and Dreaming Technology (テクノロジーに夢乗せて) produced songs are useless, they are not from Kikuo (きくお).

Kinda bored rn so imma suggest some more artists to be featured while im at it

Artist Suggestion: garlagan (He got in!)

An experimental artist known for their unique discography of electronic synth-pop and metal genre songs along with a unique style of vocals and unusual rhythms that appear in some of their songs. Although very recent to the Osu! scene with only one ranked map as of now (being Phob's Taiko Set of PPaper PPlanes), they are an artist known in the Geometry Dash community for their songs being used in a bunch of community-made levels and such. On his own, I think Garlagan would be fitting in the Featured Artist library for when it comes to adding song variety into the scene as their style is varied by default. Not only that, but they are also an artist and create animated music videos for their songs (along with promotional artworks)!

Wintergatan

Only coming into the internet spotlight about 5 years ago through a neat instrument called the Marble Machine which brought almost 190~ million views on YouTube. Wintergatan has always had this really unique choice of instruments (Melodica, Vibraphone, Slide Projector, Theremin, etc.) and a really nice catchy melody in all of their songs (specifically their album of the same name released back in 2013) even before becoming super popular (at that time).

I personally think that more folk electronica deserves to be mapped and noticed by more players, especially this specific band. Their songs are very simple yet extremely catchy and upbeat (most of the time; referring really to Starmachine2000 which presents a very promising potential of being incorporated into a fun and engaging map.

sadly no ranked maps yet

Emma Essex 1v6d2n

aka Renard, The Quick Brown Fox and many other aliases

"Halley Labs / Lapfox Trax is a one-person record label by Emma Essex. She publishes a large amount of electronic music under the label, using various aliases as visual representation. Each alias produces a different genre of electronic music."
- From Halley Labs Wiki

Emma's work is popular within the osu! community since 2010. And because of that I firmly believe that most of the regular osu! players know about a map labeled as one of her aliases.

I think Emma Essex is a great artist that has tons of tracks that could become awesome maps to play. A lot of them are still to be explored and to be added to the collection of already ranked mapsets. And by making her a featured artist, the mapping process can become faster and her work can be known to even more people!
(and there is the fact that there are tons of people that don't know that TQBF and Renard have the same person behind it)

Mostly of the songs can be found on the Youtube channel.

Also, more info can be found on the Halley Labs Wiki.

For and any other info, there is her website.

Artist suggestion: Synthion

An american future bass artist, DJ, vocalist and 'Vtuber' hailing from South Korea with a discography featuring an "energetic but emotional" tone in them to express a cross-section between dance music and anime soundtracks. In earlier years, she was classically trained and had started producing music at the age of 13 before making her debut in late 2017 with her E.P, "Stardust" while making a name for her unique blending of UK Hardcore and modern Future Bass, otherwise known as her signature "Love-core" sound. Since then, she has gained recognition from various circles (MEGAREX, AX Dance, etc) and from people of the likes of Hyper Potions, MYLK and even Porter Robinson. Although not too known in the Osu! community, she does have a few ranked maps of her songs and has even made appearances on other Featured Artist listings (With True) — having those in mind, why not feature her independently? I think her other songs would make for some great and creative maps across each gamemode!

RIOT 5p1e65

The main reason, why they should be added is because there really is a lack of such a genre of music as they do, heavy dubstep, they also make most of their songs in low bpm, which is also not so common and this can give more variety in mapping, and the last is that their songs are already quite common in the game, like as Overkill, Battle Sirens (RIOT Remix) and my two maps Jungle Fury and The Mob so it would be right to add them to

yeule
bandcamp

yeule's music can be compared to the likes of porter robinson, madeon, miraie, & shawn wasabi in of style, and - this is a bit outlandish, but - sewerslvt in of aesthetics when it comes to the whole "very online" feeling, despite being completely differnet genres.

yeule's music is described as synthwave, chillwave, bedroom pop, and indie. their music is influemced heavily by gaming and online culture. most dreampop is usually for laying in bed and whatnot, but yeule's music typically feels made for sititng at a computer late at night, alone with your thoughts, perhaps playing osu.

a good example of this would be their release serotonin ii

Look Vibrant has a very unique style when it comes to alternative music. The melody is somewhere similar to Cavetown in of how the vocals are used. I'm not really that knowledgeable when it comes to explaining music >w< but hopefully you will consider this nonetheless. There have already been a few songs ranked, as well as some great maps in pending!

Thanks for your time!

Two electronic music producers that I believe would be a good addition to the FAs:


Justin Hawkes
(formerly known as Flite)
Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/justinhawkes

A Drum and Bass artist hailing from the United States, Justin Hawkes works over a diverse range of DnB subgenres, ranging from the gritty:
The Underground
Break The Loop
to the soulful and deep:
Dive
Progression
Tragedy, Humanity
not excluding some vocal works:
Colorless
Blue Spark
I Won't Follow

With a wide variety of tracks that yet possess a unique style, and having featured on larger record labels such as Liquicity and UKF, Justin Hawkes is a must-needed addition to the Drum and Bass scene of osu!, especially given the recent influx of Liquicity-based DnB featured artists.


Au5
Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/au5

With a number of tracks already featured in ranked osu! beatmaps, Au5 should require little introduction. Of the ranked beatmaps include:
Divinorum

Au5’s sonic design is nothing short of genius, presenting a cerebral auditory experience that is ideal for beatmaps with highly immersive gameplay. Encoming a wide array of electronic music genres, and having a considerable collection of already-ranked beatmaps, Au5’s music makes him a strong addition to osu!’s list of featured artists.

about time i suggest more people at once


Artist suggestion: Haywyre (He got in!)

A "Grammy nominated" american electronic producer inspired by artists from the likes of KOAN Sound, Herbie Hancock, Noisia and Flying Lotus while influenced by lesser known prodigies such as 19th century Russian composer / pianist 'Sergei Rachmaninoff' alongside having from household artists such as Zedd, Mat Zo, Gramatik and GRiZ. Since his debut in 2009 with ing ambient hip-hop style tracks onto Newgrounds, Haywyre would later make a name for himself in 2014 with his highly acclaimed album; "Two Fold Pt. 1" originally released on the known Electronic music label "Monstercat" while also releasing a remix of Micheal Jackson's "Smooth Criminal", which became viral within release while it succeeded in astounding music critics across the board. In Osu!, his popularity mainly comes from a loved Osu!Standard map of his song "Insight" which was first recognised for its intense spaced 1/4th snap "Jump patterning" at 140 BPM — aside from these, Haywyre is an artist that I believe would fit well into the Featured Artist roster especially with the songs he could bring in for variety, as some of them would fit well as Osu! maps under any gamemode.

Artist suggestion: Hakushi Hasegawa (長谷川白紙)

Hailing from Japan, Hakushi Hasegawa is an experimental electronic music producer known for their unique take on the pop genre for their songs along with some jazz influences in some of them — his career started in 2017 with him releasing some EPs ("Extended Plays") on various labels and with free links, such as "iPhone 6 Plus" via Maltine Records in 2017 and Sōmuku Hōdō via Music Mine in 2018 before he would later then make more crucial appearances in other media, such as one of his songs ("Watashi o Mite" / "Look at me") being used in the anime "Artiswitch". On Osu!, he currently has two ranked maps of his songs being "Watashi o Mite" (Look at me) mapped by 'trollocat' in the Taiko gamemode. Aside from these, I think the artist would fit nicely into the Featured Artist roster as they are with some recognition in the community through ranked maps and with potential of some of their other songs being fitting to chart in each gamemode.

yeah idk what im doing with myself but anyway MORE FA SUGGESTIONS

Artist suggestion: phonon

An American artist known for their unique blend of jazz, neuro and funk sounds along with their way of toying with music theory throughout songs. In 2020, phonon made his debut via the release of his song "Polyriddim" via Odio Records, which became recognised in the dubstep community due to it's usage of "nested tuplets" throughout the choruses and that it was more complex rhythmically compared to the stereotypical concept of how a "dubstep" song would be constructed along with becoming the #1 song on music platform "Beatport" for some time — since then, phonon has received and had their songs appear in playlists from other artists from the likes of Adam Neely, Jacob Collier and 100 gecs. In Osu!, phonon's popularity mainly comes from a loved 4K Osu!Mania map of his song II-L.

Artist suggestion: Polyphia (Not to be confused with Polysha)

Hailing from Texas, Polyphia is an instrumental "progressive rock" band that formed in 2010 and has taken influences from other genres such as jazz, hip-hop, and R&B for their music. In 2013, the band had started receiving mainstream success after a guitar playthrough of their song "Imion" (From their 2013 E.P: "Inspire") had gone viral on Youtube, while since then they have been growing in popularity and have toured with other progressive metal bands such as Perphery, Between the Buried and Me and August Burns Red. In Osu!, their popularity comes from multiple ranked maps of their songs mainly under the Osu!Standard gamemode each of which having more than 100k+ plays. Their works were introduced to Osu! in 2021 with a ranked 8* map of Rich Kids (feat. Yvette Young). Aside from these, I believe that Polyphia would be a great choice for the Featured Artist library considering the popularity of their songs (and ranked maps of said songs) in the community and that they could provide more song variety into the section considering that we haven't gotten any more Progressive and math rock in some time, of which it has potential to suit for some new maps under any gamemode.

The rhythms are complex, but are still very playable. A few maps in taiko and mania have been ranked or loved already.

Metomate, 花徒めと or めと

Metomate I think would be a great fit. Currently 4 ranked beatmaps use their music and they have also appeared in sound voltex.

A rock style sound with piano/ensemble elements and expressively articulated female vocals
Can have a mellow sound but also be powerful and expressive

I really like the intrumental songs of this artist, I'm sure many osu players also like the vocaloid songs they are making.
