Adiidas has been making my brain melt since the first time I heard ‘Same’. His style perfectly blends dark and dirty experimental bass with a trap backbone. The result is boundary pushing music that still packs a steady knock. This ability is on full display with his debut EP My Cat.
Setting things of with ‘G’ Ft. Georgia P. Adiidas wastes no time bringing you into his distinct realm of darkness. Pitched down vocals are catchy yet possessive while the backing feels like the soundtrack to a dungeon party. Despite its title ‘Something Pink’ is far from pretty. The distorted bass sounds like the growl of an ancient, recently awakened beast trying to consume your soul with dank vibrations. ‘Mouse’ keeps the dark energy rolling with more dank bass vibes and another feature from Georgia P. On ‘Flexing’ Adiidas swags things out a bit with snapping drum work and some abusive bass. The Ciara sampling ‘Papi’ caps off our descent into the darkness. The looped vocals, “this beat goes right through my chest” are perfectly selected given the amount of low end pulsing through this heater.
“My goal is to always make unique and uplifting beats that are different yet still catchy. I strive for each track to be interesting from beginning to end and not just revolve around a big drop. I want people to get weird and even a little gangsta when bumping my music,” Adiidas tells us.
My Cat illustrates why Adiidas is one of the best up-and-coming producers in the bass music scene. It’s stripped down, hard-hitting and absolutely monstrous. This is definitely not an EP for everyone, but if it is for you, you’ll be amazed.
