Atlanta-based producer FRQ NCY is having a massive year. The quantity and quality of his genre-defying tracks have continuously taken listeners to new dimensions with their otherworldly innovation. Weaving his way through heavy, raw and experimental sounds with ease, FRQ NCY is bound to take off inthe bass scene. His Philadelphia-based counterpart Mindset is on this same level too, shown through a plethora of mind-melting singles and their 2017 collaboration titled ‘Indigo’.
A match made in heaven, the experimental geniuses decided to team up once again, this time offering a mesmerizing three-track EP aptly titled Perplexity. Combining warping synths with the meanest basses, the entirety of the project will leave you in awe. Drum and bass-inspired drums lead off ‘Heatwave’ before shifting into a wonky trap drop that only intensifies as the track progresses. ‘Equilibrium’ begins in a more melodic tone, gradually building the tension within before exploding into another extraterrestrial expedition. Perhaps the most representative of the EP’s title, the final track ‘Mydoom’ will leave you bewildered with its unnatural yet weirdly satisfying bass.
FRQ NCY and Mindset are pushing bass boundaries with every release. Any fan of G Jones, Bleep Bloop and Chee needs to check out the Perplexity EP, out now on Saturate Records.
