If you asked me to name a few of the hottest up-and-coming west coast producers, KUREI, yojas, and bd hbt would be at the top of the list. All 3 have been on a tear as of late mixing trap, rap and experimental bass to create monumental bangers. Today the trio collide on the super collab ‘Hood.’ The chemistry on…

Some of the best music and most original art emerges from unlikely sources of inspiration. For LA-based producer and Icon Collective student L’homie, his newest release titled ‘Sting Of The Scorpion’s Tail’ comes straight from one of his favourite TV shows, Into the Badlands. “The show tells the story of a boy who travels through this post-apocalyptic world trying to find…

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.

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.
