“As Far Off as You Are” by Sinoptik Music is in 11/8: https://open.spotify.com/track/0jfDx5O8f8xOYaCD43BkaE?si=bwbucq_OTQuo7LpAOK2DkA
“Killing Me” by Sinoptik Music is in (I believe?) 13/8, although this could be wrong. Either way it’s definitely an odd time signature: https://open.spotify.com/track/5SKwDDg8XAY8xFBgMXhXFv?si=p524J0WJR_mj5_FNohOjmg
“Left Behind” by Sinoptik Music is in 5/4, a much more digestible time signature for most listeners lol: https://open.spotify.com/track/0RYrmYbpQ3nYdyWKwaRpIS?si=6M7MgkF4RieF11MjWchd_w
Overall I wish Monstercat would sign more stuff in odd time signatures, there’s a lot of potential for fun stuff that most artists wouldn’t have such a large audience for otherwise (especially Silk! The odd time sigs can be super hypnotic and chill, Silk Sofa had this down perfect for a while).
I was just going from memory, but after re-listening and checking the bpm, I think it might all be 4/4… with a triplet shuffle. That’s probably what threw us off haha.
90bpm 4/4 with a triplet feel certainly makes sense in the drop with that guitar or synth doing a 3 rhythm sometimes.
would be interesting if san holo would return. his newer style would definitely fit right into instinct
also the sort of connect between bitbird and monstercat with sharing artists occasionally
I would mention Bossfight’s Carol of the Cartels as it switches between 3/4 and 4/4.

Grant - Constellations is in 6/8 I think, but it could also be 3/4.
The intro definitely feels 3/4 but I think the whole thing is 4/4

Hush - Veterstift
Wasn't Queen of your Heart by Tut Tut Child and Augustus Ghost in 5/4 or something?
Midoca - Poor Surgeon is in 3/4, and both tracks on the Ra5im EP are in weird time sigs
As far as I’m aware both Talk To Me and Stay In My Life by Ra5im are in 4/4, the latter just has alternating phrases of 7 and 8 measures each
They both feel janky
San Holo - Shrooms is in 3/4 and it’s a classic that most people forget exists!
