Ankou

Ankou is among bass music’s most underrated producers. I’m convinced that if he were based in the States, he’d be touring the country, supporting top talents and getting coveted festival slots. Championing a signature halftime sound while often exploring different avenues within bass music, a common theme throughout Ankou’s productions is a sinister undertone that will leave listeners with an…

As steady listeners and supporters of Ankou, we can confidently say that he rarely misses. Over the last few years, the Polish artist has championed a unique take on halftime that often leaves one with shivers running down their spine. However, the artist has also explored outside the confines of that genre – and he consistently executes at a top…

Ankou and Vellum are two artists that we have been following for quite some time who have individually carved unique lanes within the bass music scene. With the former making his name in the halftime world and the latter making an early name for himself in bass house, their new collaboration titled ‘Sleepwalker’ certainly came as a bit of a…

While REZI and Ankou have both been on our radars for the last couple of years, a collaboration between the two is never something that crossed our minds. Both artists boast a diverse discography, but REZI’s tends more towards experimental dubstep while Ankou often gravitates towards halftime. Sometimes the best collaborations are the most unexpected ones, though, and the merging…

It has been a ton of fun watching Ankou grow over the last year.  From landing on our Focus Five segment in February of 2021, to becoming a mainstay on Inspected with the diverse, enthralling and sinister Fatum and Cosmogony EPs, the Polish talent has harnessed a unique take on bass music that often edges towards halftime but never confines…

The team at Inspected have been at the cusp of ground-breaking bass music for over a decade, and one does not need to go deep into their discography to come to this realization. Just this year, the collective has released incredible projects from Ankou, Gyrofield and voljum, singles from Vorso and RefraQ, and a genre-defying compilation. Always falling within the…

Despite only landing on our radar earlier this year through his riveting contribution to Powered by Inspected: Series 2, a quick dive into his arsenal showed insane promise and the following month, Ankou landed in our Focus Five segment. Further showcasing his talents in the impressive Fatum EP via Inspected in March, Ankou has been showing no signs of slowing…

Hot off a feature on our Focus Five segment as well as releases on both Inspected and Renraku, Ankou is showing no signs of slowing down in 2021. Boasting a sound that is hard to categorize in a single genre but that is consistently looming and menacing, the Poland-based producer skillfully concocts sonic journeys that should be the soundtrack to…

As February comes to a close, we bring you another round of Focus Five. This month we’ve got an artist who moves between dubstep and halftime, an Austrian newcomer, a Vancouver-based bass wizard, an LA producer championing Hyperbounce, and an under-the-radar master of slow trap and wave. Get familiar with them all below. Ankou With very recent releases on both…

Following the successful launch of their new series aimed at highlighting up-and-coming talents across the bass realm, the sophisticated tastemakers at Inspected are back with the second instalment of their Powered By Inspected Series. Featuring five artists making their debut on the label, Powered By Inspected: Series 2 is an underground bass lover’s dream, showcasing why Inspected have remained at the…
