Have you ever wondered what would happen if trap was fused with classic jungle influences? Probably not. But know that I’ve mentioned it you’re probably dreaming of what that might sound like. Thankfully for us all, the legend Craze already thought about this and decided to bring it to life with his latest single ‘Party Fing’. “I wanted to make…

I don’t know if it’s all Daft Punk’s fault, or maybe the fact that I’ve been watching too much sci-fi stuff lately (Dark everybody?), but I have to confess that I am nuts for any kind of filtered, modulated and, in general, modified voices. Any kind! You’ll then understand why, in just a dozen seconds, this new Levitate single has…

Consistently putting the “fam” in “sfam”, Michael Pearson and Jacob Hoerner have been intensely pushing the sonic envelope as of late. Curating engaging musical experiences all over the country, including most recently at Wakaan Music Festival in Arkansas, they’ve found their stride and are in a full-on sprint to major success. Their last EP, Shadows, released through Wakaan, has already…

Nearing the conclusion of the first run of tour stops for the long-awaited Double Vision Tour alongside Champagne Drip and an exceptionally talented cast of support, freeform luminary LUZCID further articulates an unmeasured production efficiency with the release of his sophomore Wakaan Records EP with Gravity Cannon. LUZCID utilizes a soft illusory vocal melody to concoct one of his now…

Ahead of their upcoming joint Relinquished EP out next week on Wormhole Music Group, Chicago-based Kromuh and Spades give us an early taste of what to expect today with the project’s title track. No strangers to working together, ‘Relinquished’ is the product of two distinct minds meshing into one creative product. Sputtering your senses from the get-go with a quintessential…

After a painstaking 9-month hiatus, Chicago tastemaker and beat sensationalist guppi migrates back to the pond with the unexpected but exceedingly necessary ‘Autopilot.’ Much like the contents you might find scattered beneath the cushions of your sofa, this track has got a little bit of everything: a thick, vibrant bassline, an assortment of trumpeting elephant samples, riveting beat-breaks, and an…

Former head of all things Twonk, Sami Diament, has had arguably one of the strongest rebrands of any electronic artist in the past two years. Trading-off wonky trap stylings for psychedelic thoroughfares, he’s completely shifted his sound focus and fan base. Finding a home and abundant amounts of friendship in his new auditory ecosystem of the Wakaan label, he’s made…

An emblematic moniker within the purview of electronic music production, Vermont-native and granular synthesis pundit EPROM has voluntarily elected himself to the shadows of the underground, forging an audible dissonance that is as enigmatic in nature as the veiled soundscapes he concocts. Slowly unwinding one continuous thread of gritty bass from the spool of his latest AIKON EP, EPROM has…

European producer, ELEX, has been tearing up the underground bass music scene with his recent releases, and has become an even bigger target on our radar. ELEX has been hard at work, crafting his new EP, titled, Innovator, which drops tomorrow. And innovating it certainly is. One track immediately stands out from the rest of the EP, and I’m certain…

Good ol’ southern bass maestros Mitch Draper and Andre Waguespack, or Tvboo and Klutch respectively, have been separately waging campaigns of sound wave warfare in recent years. Klutch first amassed critical acclaim from a string of wildly successful remixes three years ago, with his rendition of Beethoven’s ‘Fur Elise’ garnering roughly 650,000 streams on SoundCloud alone. Tvboo is a man…
