Unshackled from the extensive archive of Spag Heddy’s unreleased material as a commencement to festival season this past July, ‘Zoom’ has remained one of the most enviable tracks of the summer, combining a playful layering of trap horns that builds an inescapable sensation of momentum before catapulting into a merciless siege of bass.
For a track that utilizes a simple, yet acutely potent lead, ‘Zoom’ presents the ideal canvas for collaboration, providing both an ample structure to work from as well as plenty of room for innovation. The compilation features contributions from Never Say Die veteran Krimer as well as frontrunners in the modern wave of dubstep including Moore Kismet, K-NINE, TRVCY, & L.U.X. to ensure a level of innovation and diversity that can rival the tremendous impact of the original.
“Working on this remix for Spag Heddy was so awesome, as I’ve looked up to him for so many years. ‘Zoom’ was one of the most highly anticipated tracks in all of bass music, so for NSD and 24-8 to have given me this opportunity is literally so awesome and seems like a full-circle moment for my career,” Adelanto-based Moore Kismet shares regarding the magnitude of the opportunity. “I wanted to stay as true to the original as I could but I also got my own route with it, and I think I did a pretty damn good job of that!”
Encompassing numerous subgenres within the bass music arena, each remix within the compilation assumes the challenge of finding creative symmetry. Working to utilize aspects of the original, while preserving aspects of authenticity within their own style. “In all honesty, I’m still in shock over the remix, opportunities like this come rarely. With so much excitement and ambition, I re-wrote the record to resemble “K-NINE,” the outcome was this darker heavy version of ‘Zoom’ and I couldn’t be happier.”
