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)

If there're more expert featured artist on osu!, it would be the best situation. Although it might not be possible, thanks for reading this post.

Very unknown newcomer/underdog. Found on Soundcloud the other day.
I have nothing to say except: 100% Camellia 3.0 (since ReeK is 2.0)
He is just doing very technical and satisfying/relaxing songs imo. Listen to his songs on the soundcloud link.
Friends couldn't believe that he is that amazing. (no cap)

Also very very creative. He just needs a LOT more attention for the stuff he does. I'm simping for him!

been a while since i suggested anyone here but i feel like this man is just very underrated so i just wanna give them a shout



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 "Say It Back" (Osu!Mania set made by me!) and 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.

Traktion

Facebook, Soundcloud, YouTube
A DnB artist who produces very uplifting, dynamic music ; many of his bangers have been mapped into osu! classics : The Near Distant Future, Mission ASCII, Gid V to name a few

Nhato

Twitter, Soundcloud, YouTube
An electro artist, he often makes trance or remixes of other electro songs, and he's extremely talented ! He's featured in a lot of maps in osu! : Miss You, Gekka, Magic, LIMBO, Beyond The Seven...

Muzzy/MUZZ

Facebook, Spotify, YouTube
An other DnB artist with a lot of epic tracks under his belt, the length and diversity within his songs are good material for very balanced maps imo, can probably make nice TBs in tournaments. Some ranked maps of his songs include Endgame, Children of Hell, Timberwolf, Spectrum, Lost Forever

Rigël Theatre

Happy30's been around forever and has even ranked some of his own songs and would be an awesome Featured Artist

A good Featured artist for osu! (in my opinion) would be:

Contact: kikuosound@gmail.com

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).

I think this would a pretty amazing inclution to the game

If ever I start posing, I wouldn't mind becoming a featured artist. I was a rapper for a few years, using nothing but GarageBand to produce. Most likely, though, you'll have to find my stuff on Audius (Open-Source SoundCloud), since I'm an Open-Source, decentralized guy.

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

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 contact 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 Maboroshi, Hypervelocity and 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!

Check her out on her socials!

Memme also likes to compose songs with the theme of typical Chinese songs such as Chinese Restaurant and Tantanmen.

Memme are also well known in osu,starting with the appearance of the map ranked song

RIOT

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 terms of style, and - this is a bit outlandish, but - sewerslvt in terms 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

bandcamp

Look Vibrant has a very unique style when it comes to alternative music. The melody is somewhere similar to Cavetown in terms 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:
Reiteration
Eden (feat. Danyka Nadeau)
Shock Diamond feat. Cristina Soto
Singularity
Interstellar (feat. Danyka Nadeau)
Moonland
Divinorum

Au5’s sonic design is nothing short of genius, presenting a cerebral auditory experience that is ideal for beatmaps with highly immersive gameplay. Encompassing 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 support from household artists such as Zedd, Mat Zo, Gramatik and GRiZ. Since his debut in 2009 with uploading 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 download 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 "Sabaku De" (Desert) mapped by 'dsco' in the Osu!Standard gamemode and "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 support 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 Polyriddim (mapped by HowToPlayLN) of which the map is unique for being a challenge on memorising the SV patterning which is a lot harder for normal Osu!Mania players to sightread, essentially making it a challenge map for SV players in the community. Aside from all of this, I think the artist would be a neat addition to the Featured Artist roster as we haven't had many "rhythmically complex" songs, so they would fit nicely and they would be able to provide some more song variety into the section, similar to the likes of other featured artists such as Frums and 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 "Impassion" (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 "Nasty feat. Jason Richardson" before more maps of songs by the said band have been ranked later on, such as G.O.A.T, O.D and the recently ranked Rich Kids (feat. Yvette Young). Aside from these, I believe that Polyphia would be a great choice for the Featured Artist library considering the upcoming 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.
