Avance was introduced into the realm of electronic music at the ripe age of 12 where he dove into digital production. Originally born in London, he has made considerable waves in his new home of Perth, where he’s honed his craft considerably in recent years. Coming fresh off the release of his collaboration ‘Bad Robot’ with fellow Aussie Zeke Beats, he’s struck a resounding chord with fans of heavy and experimental bass, leaving listeners anxiously waiting to see how his sound has evolved. His response is the grimy, harsh, hard-hitting ‘Death Ray’.
This piece of audible weaponry opens with an ominous, creepy synth that brings in a punching bassline, with a military voice in the background setting the tone. Right before the first drop is the sample “activate all disintegrators,” which gives the listener a stern warning to strap in for this wild ride as they are about to get slapped in the face. Avance makes fantastic use of slight pausing between punchy low-ends, making each one hit harder than they would if aligned all in a row. This comes to an apex at the 2nd drop, which fully transforms the sound into what I can only describe as an elephant roaring while shooting laser cannons strapped to its back. ‘Death Ray’ will be an absolute behemoth on monster sound systems. With several quality releases so far in 2019 and currently on his own “Destroy All Humans” tour in Australia and New Zealand, this could be a momentous year for growth for this extremely talented artist.
