When it comes to a list of producers that are paving the progressive sonic pathway for fans of only the most excruciatingly heavy of works, VRG is one artist that should surely make an appearance. Between absolutely bodying bass music fans with ‘Came in This‘, which was arguably one my personal favorite tracks of 2020, along with ridiculous heaters like…

The Swedish-born WAKAAN kingpin Martin Stääf, better recognized as Liquid Stranger, returns with a monumental first release of 2021. With over a year since the debut of his ASCENSION EP, Stääf has been on a continued mission to help artists release music with no creative restrictions. In addition to the leading bass label that is Wakaan, Liquid Stranger has been…

Hot off the tidal wave created by the highly-anticipated release of ‘Vaultage 003,’ Space Laces is back to prove that tunes from the vault are not necessarily exclusive to his revolutionary mixes. Similar to the surprise drop of ‘D.A.W‘ in late October of 2019, Space Laces has decided to gift us with the full release of ‘Dominate,’ one of the…

We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again: few are delivering the same level of quantity and quality as Leotrix. With the ability to weave through genres and styles without ever escaping his signature flair, the Sydney-based talent has quickly climbed the ladder of bass music to stand among the greats thanks to his endless catalog of hits. This…

All good things must come to an end. With recent developments in dubstep and bass music in general, lines are being blurred, genres are forever evolving, and the need for separation between styles is no longer relevant. That being said, Never Say Die announced the termination of their Black Label imprint earlier this week, and while the news came as…

One of the things that I love the most about doing music reviews is that I constantly learn new things while writing them. Most of the time I create a draft on WordPress, I write the first lines, and then I inevitably get lost in the maze of the web looking for anecdotes, music charts, production tutorials, documentaries, and so…

When we take a look at the bass music scene as a whole, a name that everyone should get used to is New-York Native Jeanie. With her non-conforming style and aggressive takes on dubstep, Jeanie has succeeded in carving her own unique sound within the scene. Coming with world-class sound design, creative sample selection, and song-writing that is seemingly leveling…

With innovation, success, and trends being major conversations about what avenues to venture down in the industry, it can almost seem as if being wholly yourself is a bold push against the grain. If it’s working for them, surely it’ll work for me too, right? Proudly throwing the idea of riding someone else’s sonic coat tails clear out the window,…

When it comes to producers fiercely pushing the envelope when it comes to expanding the parameters of the scene from a sound design standpoint, not many come close to touching the artistry and progression that Effin touts. Between his ridiculous Operate EP, his tyrannical Flashback EP, and his Sable Valley debut with ‘Hollow Tips,’ he’s consistently shown that he’s more…

When it comes to the current immensely saturated dubstep scene, it can become far too easy to blend into the background due to an already staggering range of sounds and styles permeating the culture. However, there are several swiftly rising audio tastemakers that are boldly straying from the fold. One such harmonic hero that boldly strays from the fold is…
