Gather ’round bass heads, All I Want For Christmas Is Bass Vol 6 , is here. Last year apparently all of us were on the naughty list because Kannibalen did not release a Christmas playlist. This year we must have shaped up because it is back and better than ever.
The two singles from the compilation comes from HVDES x Avance and YMIR x INHUMAN. YMIR and INHUMAN’s track, ‘Outcast’, has serious dramatics comprised of emotional melodies, eerie vocals, and steep drops, while ‘Demons are Like Dogs’ by HVDES and Avance is full of crunchy snares and snarly bass coupled with aggressive tone in vocals. The contrast shows the scale of sound that Kannibalen has been bringing to fans on Christmas once again- it’s dark, disturbing, and drenched in bass.
‘Right to Kill’ by Hairitage opens up the pit of dark electro tracks. It has an aggressive beat paced over what sounds like old horror movie voice samples and theatrical, chilly breaks. This is a song to get hyped to, and rally the troops to, with its big bass sound and ferocious drops. It sets the tone and the stage for the Christmas cheer yet to come.
Newcomers to Kannibalen, TEKNiCOLOR and Kartyparty collaborate on a little bass-house with ‘Rush It’. The spunky piece punches up the energy while still laying the bass on thick. It has got a playful groove and sassy snares that stay rooted in the dank bassline which starts off deep and only get’s deeper. Hopefully this means Kannibalen fans will be seeing more from these two in the new year.
‘On Your Knees’ by WODD x FREAKY, starts out with some trippy voice clips that quickly melt into the rhythm and then morph into several other manifestations. The layering of the samples rushes up to the more slicing dubs and wubs. As the pieces come together, it takes on the shape of a sauntering, dubstep/ techno mix, and the bass rumbles through the whole way. The melody is chaotically spunky and fresh while the soundscape is grungy and loaded with sharp selections.
