With releases on Crown Collective, SUS Colllective, Good Nature Collective and more, ZCR is well regarded in the SoundCloud bass community. He’s frequently landed in our FUXWITHITFRIDAYS features and today we have the pleasure of doing our first premiere with the LA-based producer. Out today on misc., ‘AKOBAI’ is built around an Africa chant that sounds like the song’s title. ZCR establishes a foundation that’s tribal and exotic allowing listeners to float through the jungle, drifting towards the entrancing chant. The dense trees open up to an energetic drum circle as bonfires burn and bodies turn to the pulsating beat. A brief break provides an air of uncertainty before we gear up for war. The final drop is an epic battle where ancient weapons and fighting styles clash against industrial invaders. With the ominous outro it’s uncertain which side proved victorious, but it’s clear this will be one that will not be forgotten.
