tinyghost has been looming around SoundCloud for the past year. Sneakily raking up plays while quietly dropping some of the most impressive tracks out. It’s easy to have not heard his music, but once you do, I assure you, you’ll instantly become a fan. It’s been six month since his last release, his greatest work to date ‘Jupiter,’ but he’s been especially quiet for good reason. For the past year he’s been working on his debut EP Association, which we have the honour of premiering today. “In a way this EP is an introduction to the things I make and the people I associate with (full pun intended). It’s a way for me to get my ideas out with like-minded creatives,” tinyghost tells us. “The intention was to collaborate with someone different for each track (hence the EP title). A lot of the EP came from meeting these peeps in real life. I toured with Copycatt when he was in the states a while back, and met up w/ Blake Skowron during that time. The collab with Laxicty and Khundi Panda came about through the sweet sweet internet so I threw it in the mix. Altogether the Association EP is just a collaborative effort with friends.” The result is nothing short of stellar. A three track offering that showcases why tinyghost very well may be the future of bass music.
Kicking things off is tinyghost’s collab with fellow rising star blake skowron. ‘Double’ begins dreamy and slowly drifts into focus. When the drums and bass hit at full force, it’s like an ancient war. Gold encrusted armor is smashed with war-hammers, spears and arrows soar in all directions. It’s mystical, majestic and abusive all at once. ‘Problem’ with Laxcity and Khundipanda is the definition of a slapper. Khundipanda’s intensity and in-your-face-energy is backed by a beat that’s guaranteed to set clubs on fire. The break midway through provides a near meditative energy that makes the second drop feel that much more heinous. Closing things out comes ‘Indent’ with Copycatt. Despite the title don’t expect any formality. This brooding bass beast sounds like the soundtrack for a genetically mutated monster that slinks through the sewers.
Clocking in at less than ten minutes total, this is sure to leave you thirsting for more. Thankfully this looks to be only the beginning, “This is sort of a small collection but more ‘Association’ stuff might be on the horizon…” His plans aren’t crystal clear yet, but you should definitely expect to see and hear a lot more from tinyghost moving forward, “I’m not entirely sure where I’m headed, the rest is sort of uncharted territory but you can expect it to be interesting. I don’t plan on sticking to any singular genre or theme with tinyghost so other stuff with very different styles and directions are bound to happen. In addition to music I’m a graphic designer/visual artist so that stuff can be expected as well (commissions welcome lol).”
