Seattle, Washington based producer SHARPS continually pushes the boundaries of bass music with a refreshing, painfully unique style of trap which blends intricate build-ups with relentless, energy-ridden drops. First making waves on the scene with a remix of Boombox Cartel’s ‘Jefe’, his latest take on Getter’s iconic dubplate ‘Head Splitter’ confirms that this young gun won’t be letting up on the gas anytime soon.
The nostalgic wonky synth melody from the original leads the remix in a familiar direction, as the coveted pre-drop sample unleashes, the song takes a swift, deep turn. A grungy, crunching synth introduces SHARPS envious knack for eloquently crafted drops with expertly timed breaks and a rotating pattern of crisp synths and reverberating hums.
Further illustrating his ability to take an emblematic tune and weave in his own flare and tastes, SHARPS’ latest remix is further testimony of his unparalleled style of production. I am looking forward to seeing what he has in store for the coming year, and have confidence he will continue to test the expanse of his creative capability with each new release.
