We begin our journey with REAPER’s own highly anticipated VIP. Already starting with a slight variance from the original, the melody in the intro is played by this muddy synth, giving the VIP a more melodic flavor to it. Moving on this synth in the intro is quickly thrown out in favor of those familiar siren-like risers that have become a staple of the REAPER project. Throughout this section, tension is gradually built before being thrown into an unrelentingly aggressive drop section with a flipped melody from the original record, as well as some next-level sound design on the basses. 

Next up, we have the Swedish bass wizard himself, Bossfight. Right from the start, you can feel the tension building. As you’re quick to find out that this remix is all gas, no brakes. After a quick build, we’re launched in a high tempo half-time section that quickly jumps around to many different percussion arrangements. Looking for some rest halfway through? Good luck, cause the breakdown immediately after this section quickly transitions to metal-influenced breakdown as all elements of the record begin to mirror each other. Soon after, we’re met with one final drop, this time in true hard-dance fashion. 

Moving on, we get to shed the spotlight on yet another name out of this blossoming American drum and bass scene, Justin Hawkes. Formally known as Flite, Justin Hawkes’s take on ‘BARRICADE’ is a much welcomed melodic one. Right from the start, we’re introduced to these huge chords that serve to not only uplift but also build tension moving on in the record. When the tension is finally released we’re met with this soulful melodic take on an aggressive record, that perfectly maintains its high-energy essence while also injecting some liquid DnB influences. 

Last but most certainly not least we have the emerging young talent, and the newest addition to Radish Management, Poni. As soon as you hit play, you know something a bit different about this one. With a heavy emphasis on percussion in the intro and a quick build-up, Poni perfectly sets the stage for a festival-ready drop section that’s heavily trap-influenced. After another quick build, the aggressive elements remain but this time accompanied by these melodic synths.

Bassrush 4.0 contains a total of 30 tracks, each one bringing something different to the table. From neurofunk to jump up, there truly is something for everyone on this project. One stand out track comes from Chicago’s own, CLB, with his massive jump-up tune ‘Run & Hide.’ We begin with a basic yet powerful intro, filled with snappy percussion elements behind an ascending chord progression. Around forty seconds we’re introduced to the thunderous lead bass in the drop, as well as some world-class drum fills periodically between breaks. 

Another track that caught our attention comes from a young producer from Austin, TX by the name of Flite. The versatile artist has recently seen his flip of ‘Core’ by RL Grime get heavy playing time within RL’s sets themselves. This time he makes his Bassrush debut with ‘Run Away,’ which begins by introducing the synoptic system behind these spacey synths.  As we approach one minute we’re introduced to the aggressive main bass that is showcased in the drop a few seconds later along with some pounding percussion.
