Based in Auckland, t1r will take you back to the days when SoundCloud was truly something special. With his primary account pushing towards 20,000 followers and housing a mix of banging…

We recently highlighted bd hbt in our Focus Five segment, telling you why you need to be on the lookout for this rising LA based duo. If that feature didn’t leave you convinced ‘Fly Boys’ should easily do the trick. Their latest release is a minimal masterwork. A stripped-down bass epic that’s mind-blowingly wonky and insanely heavy. It’s dark dungeon…

As June reaches its end, it’s time for our monthly installment of Focus Five. As always we’ve pulled together five of our under-the-radar favorites. This month we’ve got vibey trap, crazy jazz-infused electronica, and a couple of serious heavy hitters in the bass scene. Whether you’re looking to get lost in reflection, enjoy some video-game inspired sounds or have your…

Australia’s Hydraulix is one of the best in the game. His unique blend of trap and bass music never stagnates, with each project exploring new bounds and his latest is no different. The 4 song Kingdom EP has Hydraulix eyeing the crown of the bass realm. When we spoke with Hydrualix a few months back, he mentioned his upcoming EP…

UK duo Duke & Jones have been on a tear. With tracks like ‘Tusk’ and ‘Breathe’ becoming favourites among DJs and fans alike, their name has been steadily coming up in the discussion around the future of bass music. Unsurprisingly they landed themselves a spot in our Top 8 Bass Producers You Need To Know list last year. With the…

Despite producing for quite some time, it’s only been just over a year since Shöckface made his debut and started electrifying SoundCloud. Making a name for himself with releases on Swisted Selections, Below The Surface and Hybrid Trap, he’s back with biggest release to date. ‘Extract’ comes at us full force on Jayceeoh’s Super 7 Records. The record serves as the perfect…

June really is NOT disappointing. This week saw Lido remixing Kids See Ghosts, Jay & Beyonce dropping a surprise album, and a ton of other exciting releases. We’ve rounded them all up in FUXWITHITFRIDAYS as usual. We’ve got awesome new music from Just A Gent, Ape Drums x Denzel Curry x Frizzo, Dj Snake x Mercer, Jaden Smith, PURGE, Adiidas…

Landing on our radar today is the latest release from Manhattan based producer Squired. ‘Peace Out’ sees Squired connecting with an unnamed rapper who sounds strangely familiar. The backing is a trapped out space soundscape that’s entrancing and exhilarating. The lead is hypnotic, the percs are snapping and the vocals provide an anthematic energy that’s nothing short of motivational. The…
