In the final instalment, msft is joined by US producer ALEPH for a masterclass dedicated to sound design. The two tackle their approach to sound design, dealing with loudness war, FL Studio usability vs. Ableton, their workflow in creating sample packs, the philosophy behind Renraku, and all the recurrent features that appeared in the previous episodes.

As the sponsor of this first season, we’re excited to premiere the finale. For the next 24 hours, you can watch episode seven of Phasing Issues exclusively here on FUXWITHIT.

From getting a taste of EGO DEATH with the first single, ‘POLYMER,’ to the subsequent release of the title track that spans a whopping ten-minutes, listeners were certain that EGO DEATH was going to be an exquisite expedition through bass music. Even with this early knowledge, though, ALEPH has exceeded expectations in his twelve-track journey. With song titles depicting the various stages of life and death, to the multitude of soundscapes painted throughout the fifty-minute narrative, ALEPH flawlessly evokes conflicting sensations of hope and despair, and joy and sorrow.

EGO DEATH reminds listeners to get back up after failing. It’s about the rebirth of a soul after difficult times. Interestingly, ALEPH opts to not use vocals to conjure these feelings, but instead to focus on his incredible ability to manipulate sounds and create soul-stirring textures. EGO DEATH is impossible to categorize within a single genre as it draws influence from everything from future bass to house and beyond, all seamlessly tied together into one transcendental listening experience.

The following words from ALEPH about the project really stand out. “I think a final point I’d like to offer up is that regardless of where the story ends, there is always a place beyond it. I’ve always loved to think about the unwritten narratives that follow a story’s conclusion, about what happens with the characters and places after everything is said and done. I hope that those who take the time to listen to this record will consider that side of things now that this part of my story has ended.”

Doing just that, the talented artist draws influence from a plethora of musical outlets to create a vivid, electrifying piece that only builds further anticipation for what’s to come. Peculiar strings in the introduction create immediate intrigue, as listeners are left wondering where ‘POLYMER’ is headed sonically. Soon after, ALEPH pummels one with bass and metallic percussion to add intensity to the piece without omitting musicality. Continuing to add layers of meticulous effects and building upon the hyper-futuristic textures, the artist keeps the energy alive for the duration of the track, closing it out as beautifully as it opened.

“The start of a story that I’ve been wanting to tell for a very long time is finally beginning to unfold. See you on the other side,” says ALEPH. We’re itching in anticipation. Don’t miss ‘POLYMER’ below.

As a whole, ‘Inbetween’ and ‘Semblance’ defy genres and encapsulate a plethora of them all in one. ‘Inbetween’ represents “a juxtaposition of shimmering melody, experimental bass, and jazz-inspired rhythmic elements,” in the words of ALEPH. From its serene soundscapes, to its high-energy sections, to its goosebump-inducing future garage bridge, ‘Inbetween’ is as elegant and inventive as it gets, demonstrating Ekcle and ALEPH’s unparalleled musical prowess. ‘Semblance’ is a further exemplification of this statement, with the artists packing a tantalizing amount of sounds, styles and textures into the intricate piece. Playing on everything from future bass to drum and bass, the trio of creatives deliver glistening melodies, groovy basslines, and jaw-dropping percussion to hook listeners from start to finish.

With the announcement of their first compilation featuring both label favourites, FUXWITHIT favourites and up-and-coming stars, the idea of This Is MAD ZOO made our insides tickle with excitement. Fans of dark, bass-riddled music are in for a treat in the first half of the compilation, as the aforementioned artists along with Craze, Kayoh, anti.negative and DWAM offer unique takes on halftime and midtempo to get your blood pumping. The remaining artists, namely Left/Right, Tank Parade, Rome in Silver, HELLBOUND! and Vhsceral slightly stray from those genres, without escaping the beauty of bass and musicality.
