It’s always a treat when two of the most forward-moving bass groups team up on one record, and that’s just what we have here. Experimental bass duo ATLiens have been lighting up the festival circuits in recent years and are already on their way to a massive 2020 with their first release of the year, ‘Meltdown’. This time the extraterrestrials team up with fellow sound pushers, Black Tiger Sex Machine, who have also started off the year with a bang with their collaboration with Blanke ‘Time Travel’. This time we get ‘Frequencies’ in which the two groups combine their array of innovative sound designs to give us one to remember.
We begin with a spacey synth looped playing the melody, which is soon joined by a ghostly choir and menacing subs to build tension. Soon after we are introduced to the “Frequency Oscillator” in the first drop which truly launches the listener into orbit. After a quick build-up, we’re thrown back into the frequency oscillator but this time with a bit more emphasis on percussion, giving the track an energizing rhythm.
