In this piece, we’re looking at two very different tracks from Dj E-Ternal (Ian Bailey), and honestly, that contrast is the whole point. Same artist. Two moods. Two headspaces.
This one hits fast. Not aggressive, just confident. “Hows That Sound” taps straight into that older EDM memory, the kind that reminds you of late nights when songs didn’t overthink themselves. It doesn’t try to be modern in a trendy way. It just works.
The beat is clean. The groove settles in early, and once it does, it stays there. You don’t have to wait long to get pulled in. Around the first minute, it clicks, and suddenly you’re nodding without realizing it. The vocals are catchy. Easy. Nothing complicated, and that’s the charm.
The production is smart. Not stacked, not messy. Everything sits where it should, and you can tell the artist knows how to place sounds without crowding the track. There’s a replay quality here, the kind where you don’t skip it when it comes back around. You let it run again. It’s great music. Honest club energy without forcing the moment. We like how relaxed it is while still making you move.
Next, we have “Now I fkn hate you”. Different world. This track comes from the darker side of Dj E-Ternal’s album “The 2 Sides of Dj E-Ternal”, and it shows immediately. The tone shifts. The space tightens. Everything sounds heavier but in a good way.
The instrumental is haunting. It doesn’t rush, it stalks. The vocals are raw. Direct. You can hear intention in the delivery, like the words needed to come out exactly this way. Nothing sounds cleaned up too much. The flow is dope. Not smooth in places, but that adds tension instead of breaking it.
There’s emotion here, but not the polished kind. More like frustration sitting in your chest. The lyrics are real, and the track balances strength and reflection without tipping too far into either. It makes you listen, not just react.
You’ll love how natural this switch feels for the artist. EDM on one side, hip-hop on the other, but it still sounds like the same person behind both. We think these two tracks together show range without confusion. Dj E-Ternal isn’t stuck in one lane and that freedom is exactly what makes his music stick and touch your heart.
