The underground bass music scene is currently on a wave. Adding further force to the rising tide comes MYOPIC SOUNDS, a new collective straight out of Los Angeles. Their goal and driving force is fairly simply, “I created MYOPIC SOUNDS because I always felt like as a new artist it would be dope to come up together with like-minded artists who inspire each other. Our core team is amazing and we share the same vision in bringing something new to the table that is lacking in the scene,” MYOPIC founder CAPTSIS tells about his need to bring the collective to life.
While they came together late last year, today marks their full out launch with their debut mixtape The Awakening. The project features familiar names in CAPTSIS, IANY, MIDNGHT, Jordnmoody & ZCR, plus a ton of fresh faces. As for how it all came together, “All of the track selection came together organically which is awesome. We started as a small core group of artists who wanted to start something new and fresh. From there some artists reached out to us and vice versa and we just invited them to this discord and built a small little community. That’s what I think separates this compilation from others is that all the people involved support each other one way or another,” CAPTSIS explains. The songs fit together nicely while all possessing their own unique facets. The Awakening is weird, bass-heavy and exciting at every turn.
What’s next on the horizon for MYOPIC SOUNDS? Captsis tell us, “A lot of dope stuff. Our main focus now is to create a new monthly event in LA that is a true representation of the underground bass music scene. Along with that we have more music ranging from singles and EPs that we are excited about.”We’ll certainly be keeping our eyes and ears out for more. For now, we’ll be enjoying The Awakening.
