A front-runner in the global bass scene delivering everything from brutal dubstep beasts to hypnotizing halftime cuts, Chee has quickly evolved into an industry favourite due to his creative approach to keeping heavy music unique. There’s no denying that there are multiple facets to the South African artist’s production, and while his slower tunes with less mainstage appeal might not be as popular as his colossal tunes such as ‘Vultures,’ his ominous, slow-burning melters are equally as goosebump-inducing. Less aggressive gems such as ‘Once‘ and the more recent ‘Wallflower‘ strengthen Chee’s discography with versatility and musical prowess rarely found among such talented forgers of core-rattling pieces.
Slated to release his second project on Deadbeats on February 26th, Chee returns today with the third single from the upcoming Paralysis Analysis with a single titled ‘Turn Up’ that fits nicely within his niche catalog of slower jams, while still packing a mean punch. ‘Turn Up’ uses quirky effects to lure in listeners before a menacing sub bass and snappy percussion build the energy. Typical Chee vocal sampling and rugged synths pave the way to the second half of the piece, creating a haunting aura that instills fear and discomfort without ever losing your interest. Chee refuses to follow the typical bass tune structure in ‘Turn Up,’ meshing highs and lows of intensity at unusual yet strangely welcome moments throughout the track.
Who needs mainstage appeal when festivals are on hold, anyways? ‘Turn Up’ will hit your fix with mean, quintessential Chee sounds in a truly mesmerizing fashion. Don’t miss it below.
