Southern Florida based producer Ricky Mears started his career under his real name. If you have paid attention to the scene lately you should be familiar with his reinforced moniker of Nitti Gritti. Being introduced to house music in 2005, it was only a matter of time before he would become a master of the art himself. Mears would then…

G-REX is quickly becoming one of the most impressive and reliable names in the bass scene. ‘Babatunde’ took the world by storm, becoming one of the biggest and baddest bass records of the past few years, but he’s not sitting back and banking upon its success. Shortly after it’s release G-REX unveiled his incredible Rift EP and unleashed collaborations with…

Over the past few weeks, Shadient has been busy releasing singles from his highly-anticipated sophomore EP. First came the neuro-dystopian ‘Abberate‘, which reminded us all that the British producer is among the best at creating boundary-pushing bass music in a sea saturated with generic midtempo. ‘Numbers Station‘ and ‘Medination‘ followed suit, where the eccentric artist further pushed some of his…

The underground bass music scene is currently on a wave. Adding further force to the rising tide comes MYOPIC SOUNDS, a new collective straight out of Los Angeles.

Vancouver based bass duo Pigeon Hole have been absolutely tearing up the experimental realms of electronic music for the past 2 years, but they weren’t always frequenters of the wubs. Before 2011, Leo Napthine and Colin McCue started off their careers as members of the hip hop collective Sweatshop Union, a fellow Canadian-based group that prided itself on showcasing up…

A project synthesized in complete suspension of luminance, Shades tenders to darkly malevolent and mournfully mysterious soundscapes. Birthed from the ingenious minds of Alix Perez & EPROM, the project precipitates nonconformity, catering to the eclectic periphery of experimental bass and revealing a genuine, authentic opportunity for extended transcontinental collaboration. Fittingly so, Black Heart Communion furthers the endeavor for opposition, plunging…

Vancouver based So Sus and South Africa’s Jon Casey are two artists whom we’ve had the pleasure of watching grow and evolve over the years. Each of their releases present something new and exciting for fans. Teaming up once again for their latest is ‘Growth’. The pair each reflected on their own personal journey. “I started growth during a period…

Rohaan is one of finest production exports the UK has to offer. In the past few years he’s blessed fans with everything from emotional ballads (‘Keeping Me Close’) to some of the weirdest and most exciting experimental bass bangers (‘Bigfoot,’ ‘Grind’). As an artist never content with staying stagnant, Rohaan is setting his sights on Halftime & DnB domination with…

In 2019, the underground is taking over in full force. The most recent attention has been shifted to FLY and HMU who are both artists well worth getting familiar with.
