So, I’m over a week late with this write-up, not because I committed to having it done on release day, but because I wish I shared my thoughts on this project as soon as it came out. Mea culpa. However, after listening to ALEPH‘s debut album EGO DEATH on repeat for the greater part of the last week, the true…

David Gotham’s debut single under his new alias, ‘Enter, The Holy Divine (Part I),’ is a seven-minute opus filled with twists and turns showcasing an almost unprecedented number of stylistic influences contained within a single track. From emotional highs to introspective lows, the piece was an impressive way for Gotham to make his mark on the scene, and now the…

There’s nothing more exciting than hearing bass artists deviate from their signature sound and still executing to perfection. Artists often make their mark on the scene with a specific set of tools, and sometimes have difficulty branching away from what they know to evolve within the ever-growing bass realm. One producer that has been able to do that, though, is…

As we reach the end of June it means it’s time for the 41st installment of Focus Five. As always we’re rounding up our five favourite finds of the past month. For this edition we’ve got a French DnB talent, a producer creating audio journeys with each track, a German trap mastermind, a mysterious new prospect, and an experimental production…

Since the inception of his new alias in late 2019, Kill Feed has been a solid force in the dubstep scene with a couple of EPs, remixes and singles fortifying his catalogue of quality tunes. From full-on riddim to trap-leaning brutes, the Belgian producer has consistently delivered an onslaught of mind-melting tunes, but it turns out that he has even…

If Denali Records are not on your radar yet, that needs to change now. Curated by the talented artists who also run Bonsai Collective, the platform was created out of a desire to showcase harder tunes that fall under the bass umbrella while still showcasing some of the most promising underrated artists. Case in point, today’s latest release coming from…

From landing in our Focus Five segment almost two years ago, to seeing them evolve into an underground force in the bass scene, Nvctve has been hard at work developing their craft – all leading up to today. June 25th marks the release of the Massachusetts-based producer’s debut EP titled Malignant, and as the name suggests, it is filled with…

The time has finally come. After a string of collaborations and a remix, Tutara Peak, the individual project of Harvey from the now-disbanded duo Ekcle, is here to showcase his first solo work under his new alias. Aptly titled ‘Motion In The Shadows,’ the track is an invigorating journey through sound that spans almost seven minutes. Now, anyone familiar with…

Despite constantly exploring different genres and executing these at an elite level, there’s no denying that drum and bass is Posij‘s bread and butter. Fresh off the release of ‘Blood‘ via MAD ZOO, the Groningen-based creative returns to the forward-thinking imprint today with three new tunes that fall under the broad umbrella of the genre, and the Blood EP sees…

A ton of artists in the electronic music scene come from some kind of formal musical training, which is often, but not always, an advantage when it comes to various aspects of being a creative. Few, however, incorporate this training directly into their music, pairing two seemingly distinctly worlds of music into one cohesive ensemble. Enter voljum, a conservatory-educated pianist…
