Shane Williams and Nick Donatelli, or shwiLLy and fresh bvked respectively, have been hot on the scene in the bass music world as of late, bringing their own unique stylings of wonderful wubs to the beat buffet. Williams, a current member of the Spicy Bois, was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama and recently relocated to arguably the largest hub of bass music in the US, Denver, Colorado where he’s honing his blend of wonk and hip hop, while also doing the entirety of his own vocal work. Philadelphia based Donatelli is completely self taught in production, curating a quite successful mix series while also exploring his own individualistic tastes of neuro bass and intergalactic fills. Now, they’ve joined forces to bring a piece that will have you double-fisting a frosty gallon of milk and a thick bag of sugar in one go.
‘Spicy’ is a headfirst dive into a kiddie pool filled with ghost chilis, a stunt only your best friends would dare you to pull off on impulse. Just as the chilis turn you temporarily into a fire breathing dragon, this song’s sound waves elicit a hard right turn on the room’s thermostat, with frequencies so scalding they’ll have you putting on your best “O” face. After you get slapped by the initial wubs in this track the vocals “yeah we keep it hot and spicy, whatcha gonna do about it?” come in, right before the gloves come off and you’re assaulted with absolutely monstrous basslines. Well, what will you do next after unleashing this sonic behemoth? Probably search for the closest thing to bring you a short recess of comfort before you find yourself smashing the replay button because it just hurts so good. “Large” is much too weak of a descriptor for the low end of this track, with “gargantuan” being much more suitable. ‘Spicy’ is one of those tracks that you really need to crank the volume up to the max to get the full feeling of the piece, as a proper rinsing will surely leave you unconsciously mouthing “oof”.
Bump this song in all its glory by turning it up to 11, but make sure to keep enough milk on deck to fan the flames. Make sure to check out ‘Spicy’ for yourself below!
