Future Bass

Last year I stumbled across an incredible New York based producer by the name of Drek Martinez. His debut original, ‘No Love Lost’ made me an instant fan and releases like ‘Muse’, ‘Runaway’ and ‘6th Gear’ proved his consistency. I predicted a huge year for the up-and-coming artist but his SoundCloud fell silent for all of 2015. After spending a good portion of…

Australian production duo Slumberjack are back with a new release entitled ‘Enigma’. Getting some assistance from fellow Aussies GRRL PAL, they take listeners on a genre defying ride that blends poppy vocals with a vast array of backdrops. From worldly soundscapes, to shimmering future bass and even some distorted trap. It provides a little something for everyone, while ensuring you…

Getting some new Branchez in your life was a dream for most of 2015. His sparse release schedule had fans salivating for some fresh tracks and it seems he’s finally giving them what they need. Last month he blew our brains with the release of the viscous ‘Cuenta’. Today he returns with ‘Dreamer’ featuring vocals from the immensely talented Santell (see…

Australian producer Palace has become a staple on our site. From being named one of Australia’s Need To Know Producers, to a constant stream of releases landing on our front page, to an exclusive guest mix and interview, we’ve been supporting since his early days. After taking a break at the top of the year he has returned strong with…

Electric Mantis really doesn’t disappoint. Since his breakout release ‘Flips and Flops, Drips and Drops,’ the producer has proceeded to astound listeners. His EP Braincase is a transcendent journey through sound and his latest release is his most touching. ‘The One’ is a composition that mirrors the complexity of love itself. It’s a smattering of sounds that somehow come together to create…

It’s Thursday and National Cat day today, so we figured why not showcase a throwback from our favourite kitty, Cashmere Cat. ‘Mirror Maru’ is the title track off his debut EP and it embodies everything that makes the producer so incredible. From the majestic keys in the intro, to the lush strings and the muted but heavenly vocals. The contrast…

One of our favourite trap producers of 2015, KRNE, has also been moonlighting in the future bass space with release like ‘Chariots’ and ‘Royal’. Today KRNE brings us yet another futuristic effort with the release of ‘Movin’. Though it may be his least hard hitting work to date, it’s no less striking or impressive than anything he’s released. Infectious and…

Norwegian producer Cashmere Cat is truly a master of sound. One of the most innovative and exciting producers in electronic music, every release is pure gold. Take his latest, an edit of Hudson Mohawke’s ‘Forever 1’. From the very first notes listeners are entranced into a soundscape of pure bliss. Distorted vocal screams are the only element of abrasion, while…

Canadian producer, Grandtheft, is no stranger to exploring new genres and sounds. Proving this once again comes ‘Quit This City,’ the title track off his upcoming EP due out October 30th on Mad Decent. The track opens with a downtempo, retro feel with powerful vocals from Lowell. The vibe is reminiscent of a slow dance anthem in the 80’s. Keeping the feel into…

It seems that French producer Phazz was feelin’ both Tory Lanez original ‘Say it’ and the Ed Sheeran cover, and thought why not bring them both together? Combing vocals from the artists presents an interesting feel that is contrasting yet seamless and the bass heavy future beat backdrop takes it to another level. It’s touching, infectious, poppy and just a little…
