Quality Treats Gets A Mind Melding Addition With anti.’s ‘gate’

by Tony Leonard

FUXWITHIT favorite anti. is a Cali based trap and bass underground production extraordinaire. We recently had the pleasure of premiering ‘response‘ along with his debut EP The Throwdown. Today he is back with the next Quality Treats installment. Quality Goods Records aims to represent the underground with this progressive movement and continues the series with their 10th addition today with anti.’s ‘gate’. The track displays the epitome of what QGR stands for allowing for anti. to make a great impression with a release through this distinguished label.

The intro of ‘gate’ prepares you for the ensemble of disorder that lies ahead. “You are in danger” is the preceding vocal sample that warns listeners to make sure their seat belts are on properly. With the drop comes an eloquent trap array of originality while also pushing the boundaries of what is and is not accepted among the realm of trap. It’s as if there were a gargantuas, hyper-technology developed droid equipped with artificial intelligence. This droid has finally realized the turmoil its creator has put it through and is fighting back, as you can hear it screaming at its developer in the first drop. anti. does a great job of weaving through textures of bass while still permeating a vigorous trap structure. The second drop comes back with a vengeance and is even more ruthless. Containing “round two” pre-drop vocals, it informs listeners to not yet exit the ride and remain strapped in. Listening to the second half is like watching trap and dubstep duke it out for their spot in the tune. anti. does a mind-boggling operation at infusing mind-melding bass in with authentic trap samples, such as the cough heard throughout, making ‘gate’ a forward-thinking package of excellence.

Listen to ‘gate’ below. Be sure to stay tuned into Quality Goods Records for their next installment of Quality Treats.
