Two of the heaviest hitters in the underground bass community, Smoakland and SuperAve, have been steadily wheeling-and-dealing successful banger after successful banger on their own individual campaigns of auditory decimation. SuperAve’s first upload on SoundCloud was a mere 8 months ago, but they’ve already earned support from the Legends Zeds Dead among others, along with recently being the 87th installment in our guest mix series here on FUXWITHIT. Smoakland had a tremendous 2019 run, and in 2020 they already have major festival bookings, an album coming in April, and a guest mix planned with us for a not-so-distant release. Pooling their collective momentum and unique styles to max capabilities, they’ve blessed fans’ ears with their latest release ‘Telegraph’, released on the legendary Saturate Records, and we’ve had the great pleasure of premiering this sonic warfare device here on FUXWITHIT.
‘Telegraph’ is one of those collaborations that works so well you hope the contributing artists have a dual EP coming soon. Combining the speaker purr-inducing bass lines from Smoakland with the wobblier elements of SuperAve creates a listening experience that’s truly unique and exceedingly progressive. This is a perfect fit for a release on Saturate, as they’ve been one of the most forward-thinking labels in the game for years now. The first drop commands your attention, with a melody so powerful it feels like you’re receiving an organ sermon in the church of bass. “Psalm 420, thou shalt get down to these divine beats.” The switch-ups are immensely lively, bringing out only the most wild of dance moves from anyone within ear shot. The final drop is bursting with energy, and viciously slams your head back and forth in true rag-doll form, with zero regard for human life.
If this track is any sign of what’s to come from these two maestros of the underground, 2020 better strap in, because it’s going to be one hell of a ride. Check out ‘Telegraph’ for yourself below, and grab a free download here!
