Refusing to conform to a certain genre and continuing to push bass to new limits have become Moore Kismet and SHARPS specialties. With the former recently expanding his horizons on a remix for Sadkey’s ‘Ought‘ and a super-futuristic original ‘Tokyo‘ and the latter coming off the equally diverse ‘Invasion‘ EP, the news of a collaboration between the two incited speculation about what monstrous concoction they had created. Out today on Never Say Die, it’s safe to say that ‘Mutant’ is an eclectic metamorphosis of two unique artists.
As one of the label’s most unique singles to date, Moore Kismet and SHARPS’ latest is sure to please a wide audience of electronic music lovers. Distant vocals lurk in the background of the ominous introduction as tension grows with menacing percussion and spine-tingling effects. The climax of energy is suddenly met with a sharp change of pace, as Moore Kismet and SHARPS turn ‘Mutant’ into a bass-clad sound design flex with a strong trap foundation. Peppering listeners with only the crispest synths, the two artists make chaotic sounds flow absurdly naturally. With a slight undertone of upbeat happiness in the second drop, ‘Mutant’ is the personification of genre-defying bass music.
As with Dr. Frankenstein’s monster, ‘Mutant’ is a conglomeration of various pieces from each producer’s arsenal that come together to form one oddly mesmerizing masterpiece. Don’t miss it below.
