Nitepunk is in a league of his own. We’re not trying to say that he’s a legend or one of the best to ever do it, simply because we have not had enough time to experience what he is capable of, but his productions truly stand out in a class that nobody has mimicked. The way that the Georgia-born, LA-based…

Tsuruda needs no introduction. As an expert beat-maker who refuses to conform to the boundaries of a genre, the LA-based artist has established himself in the bass scene through consistent material that never compromises on quality. While the last few months have been relatively quiet for the talented artist (albeit compensated by a mind-melting remix for Noisia), he now returns…

Odd Mob is an artist I’ve been following ever since his remix for ‘In The Dark‘ showed up in Heldeep Radio so many years ago. Since then and over the last decade, the producer has established himself as one of the most creative artists in the realm of house music – a genre that often sounds stale and repetitive. Whether…

Being a Skrillex fan over the last few years has been a long journey. From promises of an album coming soon to endless teasers, the road to a substantial body of work from the legend has been filled with a roller coaster of emotions.

On November 8th, 2022, Flume released ‘Slugger 1.4,’ a track made in 2014 that never got to see the light of day after it was made. On November 9th, 2022, he tweeted “there’s more.’ With an “I promise” quote retweet coming on January 26th of this year, many were left anticipating the big return of the generational artist. The wait…

Ankou and Vellum are two artists that we have been following for quite some time who have individually carved unique lanes within the bass music scene. With the former making his name in the halftime world and the latter making an early name for himself in bass house, their new collaboration titled ‘Sleepwalker’ certainly came as a bit of a…

Monty and Visages are among the elite collaborators in the bass music scene. The rate at which they collaborate and the consistent quality of their tracks makes it difficult to understand why they have yet to form a supergroup called Montages. Jokes aside, the Toulouse-based artists have come together numerous times over the last few years, and have recently gained…
