Lost Dogz have left their paw print on the scene this year. Having their first takeover at The Untz Festival, they have only grown in stature since then. Some other festival takeovers include Santa Cruz Music Fest, Stilldream and Lightning In A Bottle. Accumulating a vast fan base, it was only suitable to launch their own tour. Phase one kicks off in just a few days and to properly prepare they have released the official Off The Chain tour compilation.
The collection incorporates six elaborate tracks composed by different members from the pound including Abelation, EAZYBAKED, Milano, sumthin sumthin, Untitld, and vide. Each artist presents engaging productions that involve intricate low end paired with complex percussion arrangements. The synergy between this collective permeates throughout this project from beginning to end.
vide introduces the first track ‘Sub Sonar,’ that bounces around wompy boom-bap lines before the drum and bass leads takeover. Untitld then delivers ‘American Spirit,’ which takes Childish Gambino’s ‘This is America’ vocals and smashes them into a left field bass oblivion. sumthin sumthin follows this up with ‘Drip,’ an audible leak that sends frequencies deeper and deeper into an unknown realm. Next up is Milano with ‘Anti Seed,’ a track that highlights crisp sound design and fabricates a union between trap and forward thinking bass. ‘Sooped’ by EAZYBAKED is a grimy depiction of another dimension. Finally, ‘Barricade Me’ by Abelation pulls you the rest of the way into this new realm of existence, leaving you asking if this tune is allowed to be legal.
