Leave it to the Australian sir, Just A Gent, to bring forth a seemingly innocent tune in ‘404’, only for it to take a left turn and shatter into sheer grime not too soon after.
It’s a far step from his general future bass style, being gritty and mechanic in nature – particularly in its monstrous, glitch-infested drops. The distortion adds an illusion of syncopation to the rhythm, yet everything is perfectly held together, thanks to the bassline jutting through the robotic madness.
The Gent is no stranger to the filthier side of music, given tracks like ‘Killing In the Name‘ under his alternate project Just A Tune, to ‘Phenomenon’ off his EP, Stories to Tell, which reveal a “dark” side that he doesn’t show all too often. Whether this is an one-off tune of its own kind to begin the year, or a new path being paved by Just A Gent, has yet to be seen. One thing’s for certain, though – he’s got a firm grasp on it nonetheless, and is able to bend/shift through various styles at will, and with ease.
