Wax Motif makes his debut on Tchami‘s label Confession, with a bass-fueled EP that’s going to make you feel nostalgic in one hand, and like a high-baller in the other. In the first track, ‘Tokyo’, you hear a very familiar gamelan melody which will drift you back to 2006, which then devolves into a minimalistic bassline beat so low, that…

South African producer Jon Casey is one of the illest up-and-comers in the bass scene. We described his last EP Rockefeller as, “a rugged, bass-heavy beast.” His latest effort packs a similar punch but with a more robotic/industrial aesthetic. ‘Geneva’ kicks things off and sounds like world music played through a circular saw. There’s an underlying exotic motif that is…

Brooklyn-based duo Brasstracks have been lighting up 2017 with incredible remixes of Lil Uzi Vert and Kanye West. Switching things up comes their first original of the year with ‘Fever’. It’s a joy-filled instrumental that feels like summer in the city. It’s soulful, sexy and bustling with life. I don’t think Brasstracks have disappointed since they landed on our radar…

thook has been slaughtering SoundCloud on the low with tracks like ‘ROAD BOI 7’ and ‘Flight Mode pt1’. ‘8 Zone’ is yet another example of his talent. The track is an infusion of underlying sci-fi synths, ragged bass, snapping 808s and a sprinkling of strange samples. ‘8 Zone’ finds itself somewhere between a medieval massacre, a gritty NY basement party…
