With such an eclectic and diverse use of sounds and instruments in your personal production, where do you draw your musical influences from?

I love jamming with a group of musicians, the most beautiful accidents can occur when everyone is improvising. My dad is a Grateful Dead head and I grew up listening to their live shows. It was always in my subconscious, and I learned to appreciate their jams much more as I got older. They always kept it fresh by playing different sets every night and often would transition from song to song seamlessly in the moment. My mom showed me a ton of music too and bought me CDs from Led Zeppelin, Moby, Paul Oakenfold to name a few. I also got the Lord of the Rings movie score on CD, and it inspired me to write music with choir and symphony elements. My music teacher in high school got me into the blues, and my music teacher in college got me into jazz. 

In your music credits, you list a large number of different musicians. How does that work with your recording + producing process?

Since high school, I would invite my friends and family over to jam, and often I’d record them into my production. I’d just give them headphones and a few tracks of mine to record a solo over. I’ve had people record saxophone, electric ukulele, harmonica, mouth harps, guitar, drums, voice, and any instrument. My goal is to perform with a symphony one day as I DJ my beats, and improvise on a grand piano. I love how limitless music is. 

In past interviews, you’ve stated that you got started playing the keyboard at a young age. What initially got you interested in it, and what made you continue with it?

My parents saw me playing with a keyboard when I was an infant crawling around at a family party. They’ve been supportive ever since and bought me a few keyboards during my childhood. I mostly taught myself my own riffs and I’ve reached a point where I can just improvise and express myself. I’ll always continue playing because it has become such an emotional outlet for me. It’s a form of meditation when I am just playing in the moment, coming up with new ideas and riffs. I’ve been teaching myself to play guitar the same way, and it’s been a blast recording that into my beats.

Why do you personally believe music as a communal force is so powerful, and how do you emphasize that quality in your own productions + fan base?

Music can make you feel limitless at times. It connects us all, and it also holds some of our fondest memories. I pour so much emotion into my music and try to tell a story of how life is just a balance of the light and dark. I feel like my piano solos are saying, “life is beautiful and it can also be sad but there is always hope, and to never give up. It’s all part of it.” I’ve personally had people reach out to me telling me that my music saved them from suicide. Something like that is the most powerful thing anyone has ever said to me. It makes me feel like I’m fulfilling a purpose here and keeps me going. I will always create music because I can express myself, but my fanbase has awakened a much deeper purpose within me. I want to heal as many people as I can with music, and continue to inspire world peace by bringing people together.

How best can fans support you and your project in these tough financial times for all musicians?

I’m grateful to have such a supportive fanbase. My whole discography is on Bandcamp, and I have some more merch drops once a month. A quick way to support is donating to: PayPal.me/gspacemusic

Throughout the duration of quarantine, you’ve been pumping out an extremely diverse array of immaculate mixes. What gave you the idea to start doing that initially, and how did you go about deciding the overall theme and energy of each?

I spent a lot of time home with my family during quarantine. My dad always looks forward to me playing a set when I’m home, we blast the speakers and I just freestyle a mix. Since I had so much free time I would just play a set everyday and record it. I ended up making over 16 mixes in a short amount of time. I tried not to repeat that many songs, and they were mostly original songs and plates. Now I’m just hungry to make some new music now. A lot of my unreleased music I’m already sick of because I’ve been rinsing it so much. But it’s normal, the only way to snap out of the funk is to create new music and push my creative abilities.

Your last release ‘Bubblegum’ is a saucy heater of a collab with Sfam and Eazybaked! Can you tell us a bit about the creative process that went into that, and what it was like putting your head together with 2 other groups?

Originally that was a song between Eazybaked and sfam. I was hanging out with them one day while they were working on it. I randomly got an idea that I thought would sound good, and asked if I could draw in a filter automation on one of the leads. It came out better than I expected and we used it as the main lead in the drop. Michael from sfam laughed and was like, ”okay I guess this is a 3 way collab now!” It’s funny how it all came together like that, and now we have an official remix ep coming out soon that I’m stoked about.

What are you most looking forward to when live shows start back up again?

Being able to gather together for the love of music is a beautiful thing. The fact that music can bring all types of people together from different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities is a glimpse into world peace for me. We need more of that on our planet, and I really hope we can return to that again.

Clue us into what you’ve put together for the guest mix you’ve done for us today!

Today’s mix is almost all originals including my favorite unreleased plates. There’s my piano solos, my Uncle Mike on the harmonica, my high school music teacher on the saxophone, and some of my recent guitar playing. It ranges all BPMs and was a fun mix to freestyle, I hope y’all enjoy!

Putting the “experimental” in experimental bass, the hypothetical becomes reality, as this trio bends the air around you in ways previously not thought possible. True mad scientists of sound, ‘Bubblegum’ defies all laws of nature, harnessing an insatiable energy and irresistible groove that usually only accompanies one receiving their favorite snack time delight. With sound design so excessively sticky and gloriously gloppy, one can easily find this track stubbornly stuck to the bottom of their shoes. Using an eccentric, dark melody and sinister bass lines underneath, ‘Bubblegum’ quickly becomes a guilty pleasure, that quirky audible adventure that you’re unmistakably glad to be a part of in that current moment.

With such a veteran assortment of distinguished producers on this piece, it’s no surprise then that ‘Bubblegum’ achieves the level of user satisfaction that it does. If you like it weird, stupefying, and borderline otherworldly, this is a track for you. Check it out for yourself below!

While Bassrush has consistently maintained a steady outpouring of audible content and a salient presence as a stage host for major events, such as Electric Forest, it wasn’t until the midway point this past summer that the brand further explored the concept of a roster compilation, as featured in the Ghost Town LA soundtrack, which features tracks from Bassrush dark dubstep front-runners Caspa, Ternion Sound, Coki, Eazybaked, and Bukez Finezt.

Now revealing the first chapter of a novel new compilation, The Prophecy: Vol. 1 works as a synopsis of Bassrush’s talent, composing 11-unique tracks including a long-anticipated collaborative gauntlet between sfam, G-Space, & Mystic Grizzly, as well as tunes from the likes of Esseks, Shanghai Doom, Abelation, FRQ NCY, and ECRAZE.

Encompassing the many eclectic sub-genres that bass has to offer, this new Bassrush Compilation is not one to miss. Be sure to check out The Prophecy: Vol. 1 out now below!

Capitalizing on the growing inclination toward experimental and freeform sounds with tracks such as ‘Clone’ and ‘Grove’, the pair have more than demonstrated their proclivity for tastefully orchestrating noises of the abnormal variety.

Honored to premiere one of the latest tunes from the project via FUXWITHIT, ‘Mirage’ combines an assortment of playful squeaky horns and complex reverberating subs, furnishing the more production-heavy side of the EP. The collaborative track with G-Space titled ‘Facelift’ takes the project in a wonkier, extraterrestrial realm with fluid patterns of wavering synths.

The future is looking prosperous for EAZYBAKED, flaunting their newly released Wakaan EP Alone With Yourself, the duo seems to be just hitting their stride in-terms of solidifying an unmistakable, trademark sound for the project timed perfectly with a growing appeal toward a larger audience with the rise of experimental genres.
