Oddprophet’s signature sound shines bright in his three contributions to the ensemble, with ‘Disassociation’ contending as a personal all-time favourite from the artist. There is no shortage of legends in Black Label XL 7, with Badklaat delivering his quintessential headbang-inducing sound in ‘Evolved,’ Krimer opening up the largest virtual pits one can imagine with ‘Code Execution,’ and Aweminus unleashing a heavy spine-tickling beast that boasts an unparalleled flow. The contributions from JoeB, Kill Feed, TRVCY and Graphyt and Diskirz should not go unnoticed as well, as they all provide a unique touch of Earth-shattering destruction, making Black Label XL 7 one of the most well-rounded compilations to date.

Despite only using one synth, ‘Migraine’ still remains quintessential Oddprophet. The introduction is ominous and builds curiosity as it progresses, before the talented artist unleashes audible chaos in the drops. ‘Migraine’ is a menacing flex of sound design and demonstrates the ingenuity and lack of resources needed to create a banger.

Out now on Never Say Die, ‘Blind’ might be the most destructive of Vulgatron’s recent string of releases. This time tapping Oddprophet, who has similarly elevated his game over the last year, the London-based rapper uses his raw, natural flow to complement the haunting soundscapes created in the introduction. The energy is relentless throughout, hitting true peaks as Oddprophet’s signature, provocative sound shines in the lyricless sections. Short yet aggressive and menacing, ‘Blind’ is further proof as to why Vulgatron is regarded as a legend in the scene, and why Oddprophet is on his way to that status as well.

Further bearing his dark omen of bass, ‘The Heirophant’ builds from titillating deluges of jagged synths that break cleanly into brief fragments of a distant amative melody. Swift vocal stabs distort into an otherworldly shrill as a looming stampede of energy unleashes an outright mutiny of resonating bass.

Coming off the ominous ‘The Devil‘ released last month, Oddprophet is back on Black Label with another sinister crowd-stimulator titled ‘The Star.’ Keeping the eerie theme of his previous single alive, the talented producer gloomily builds to an epic climax of bass-clad tension. The drop hits like a serrated knife, with Oddprophet’s jagged sound arrangements penetrating you to your core, punching deeper with every stab. The hostile soundscape only continues to grow as the track progresses, demonstrating the artist’s ability to keep you hooked from start to finish.

With the the track’s punchline stating “I told you I was serious,” you know Oddprophet isn’t messing around with this one. Don’t miss it below!

Further developing his ominous guise, ‘The Devil’ lurks menacingly in the distance like the suspense-building cuts of an old horror flick before a thundering ripple of bass permeates the foreground. The hairs begin to bristle the back of your neck, a perilous ensemble of strings chirr hauntingly as the dire ethos of the track expands into acute stabs of penetrative bass, furious mixdowns, and intimidating breaks.

Shrouded in obscurity, ‘The Devil’ further demonstrates Oddprophet’s impressive range and propensity to facilitate complex soundscapes, speaking volumes toward his production craft and furthering the anticipation toward his next release.

The post Oddprophet Designs a Ritualistic Bass Purge appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

Much like a growing seed, a genre demands fertile, nurturing soil and a deep running system of support roots in order to blossom into maturity and survive the competitive landscape of the music scene. Founded in early 2009, Never Say Die Records and founder SKisM have furnished the necessary foundation that has allowed the bass genre to grow to where it is today, not to mention expanding into new & exciting sub-genres.

Toting an arsenal of veteran names such as Zomboy, MUST DIE!, Eptic & Trampa, the label has more than solidified their dominance over the bass realm; releasing consecutive Never Say Die compilations every year since 2012, each further revealing the seasoned cast of artists that have contributed their influence to the dubstep we know and love today.

Despite an extensive back catalog, SKisM maintains a rigid focus on the present moment and watchful gaze on future endeavors; demanding that past artists and newly acquired talents ceaselessly test the boundaries of their creative ability, which has resulted in a versatile evolution of sound for the label since its origination in 2009.

Now, with the sixth installment of the coveted Never Say Die Records compilation, we are enamored to see debut contributions from Mastadon, ECRAZE, and TYNAN as well as heavy-hitting sounds from seasoned veterans and Soltan’s first release of the year. And, as with all predecessors, there is not a single weak link in sight, providing sound confirmation that NSD will only continue to rule in 2019.

Every established artist has a signature sound that makes them easily distinguishable among others, but perhaps the most unique of them all is Eptic. Within five seconds of any of his tracks, a true fan is able to identify him in any mix. His contribution to Vol. 6 is no exception, jumping on the riddim bandwagon with his distinctive flair to unleash the monster that is ‘Ready 2 Die’. In typical Belgian overlord fashion, Eptic combines snappy vocal samples with his robotic synths and gut-wrenching bass to create one of the most forward-thinking riddim tracks of the year. Captivating your attention with an intricate introduction and keeping it with his forward-thinking approach is what Eptic does best, and ‘Ready 2 Die’ will have you hooked for its entirety.

While 2017 saw IVORY make a name for himself in the bass scene, this year saw him establish himself as one of the greats. His Next Level EP lives up to its name, offering next level sound design and supernatural bass. It’s no surprise that his contribution to Vol. 6, ‘Unbreakable’, stands out among the best, as he continues to elevate his wicked engineering with every release. In his latest, IVORY introduces middle-eastern chants with a desert-like soundscape to create a dance-ready torrent. Don’t be fooled by the splendor, though, as the gap between beauty and bass is quickly met with a loud, cawing lead matched with heavy-hitting percussion to create a headbang-ready heater.

Who knows exactly what prompted Space Laces to become the Santa Claus of bass this year, but whoever/whatever triggered it deserves all the thanks in the world. Gifting his die-hard fans with more releases this year than the last 5 years combined, Space Laces has been on an absolute tear with his latest work. When his collaboration with Topi wasn’t included in the Vaultage 001 mix, speculation began as to whether it would ever see the light of day, before being included in the Vol. 6 mix and giving bass enthusiasts a new hope. To the pleasure of all, ‘Whiplash’ has made its way into the newest compilation, offering more insight into the mind of two musical geniuses. A picturesque introduction depicts a group of friends cruising down a highway (no pun intended) before a hasty rise in tension predicts an unfortunate event. An abrupt crash of monstrous sounds injures all, with meticulous sound design and a fury of bass causing additional damage. Elevating the glitchy take on dubstep throughout, the track continues to jerk the passengers, offering no escape from the ‘Whiplash’.

Thoroughly listening to a track from international bass aficionado SPAG HEDDY is nostalgic to strolling the streets of Little Italy. Whimsical accordion medleys blend an unmistakable influence of the Sicilian variety into the savory, high-energy buildup of the track which contrasts roaring synth jabs and a commanding vocal sample. As the frenzy grows in intensity, a squealing mixdown launches the track into rampant waves of unyielding bass. Despite an overwhelming extravagance of resonating frequencies, ‘Troupe’ flows coherently as a tribute to SPAG’s coveted tight percussion and expertise in sound design.

Utilizing heartfelt synth melodies and mesmerizing bass sequences, KRIMER constructs an immeasurable amount of emotional depth and suspense in the buildup of ‘Facebreaker’. As the riser reaches its climax, an assault of rigorous drums steers the track in a new direction, unleashing a meaty vocal sample which catapults the track into a volcano of erupting bass. Just as the billowing smoke begins to clear, a sample from Dr. Dre’s ‘Nuthin But a G Thang’ comes straight out of left field, heaving you right back into the licking flames of the inferno.

A warm welcome and congratulations to TYNAN for making his debut on this year’s Never Say Die compilation — it’s been a real treat watching his style grow and develop in the previous 4 years and he truly deserves all the respect in the world for his hard work and talent!

The tune begins like the rebooting of a spaceship, captained by an otherworldly beast, which mutters a fierce growl as a repetitive snare drum kicks the vessel into orbit. As the ship begins to reach peak altitude a fatal software malfunction causes the navigation system to sputter uncontrollably, rerouting course directly into an oncoming fleet of bass-clad asteroids. Although the pilot appears to be coherent, he cackles menacingly as a meteor narrowly scathes the right wing, almost as if he had planned this treachery all along. Despite a more foundational trap style, ‘Usurper’ is sheathed in bass and lacks not an ounce in production.

Christopher Columbus of dubstep, Zomboy is an undisputed pioneer of sound design within the bass realm, with a foundation in production, laid nearly 10 years ago, his riveting style of thundering percussion breakdowns and relentless synth arrangements furnish a template for dubstep tracks still to this date. However, it is an insatiable hunger for progress which sets Zomboy apart from the masses, unveiling with each release an unbridled desire to expand his timeless infrastructure even further.

Flaunting his production expertise right out of the gate, ‘Hide N’ Seek’ opens with a complex digital introduction, coaxing you within earshot of the sensational trademark melody of wailing, harmonious synths. An exceptionally placed break leads seamlessly into an onslaught of drums, unleashing a captivating wave of rapid synths, which build teeming anticipation in the track. A vocal sample delivers the fatal blow, exposing a breach in the walls through which an assault of bass lays siege, demanding immediate surrender with no promise of survival.

Year after year, the growing anticipation is almost too much to bear — beckoning the question, how can the sheer volume and audacity of the previous year possibly be topped? However, expectation and reality flow in perfect synchronicity with Never Say Die; and Volume 6 carries with it an insurmountable quantity of bass, delicately crafted sound design & meticulous production worthy of all praise.

The young talent may well be keeping his true persona a little way out of the spotlight, but his music is doing all the talking right now. Check out his 5 Floor Fillers choices below.

GRYM – ‘Ninja Blockz’

I’ve been playing out this tune and it got a huge reaction in Paris earlier this year. While it might be a kinda overdone, recycled riddim idea (taking influence from Subfiltronik’s anthem ‘Blockz’), the drop is just nasty, rolling and filthy. Big ups to Grym on his other tunes as well. As riddim goes, Grym is favourite at the moment.

Barely Alive – ‘Wompum’

This is by far the biggest on the album for me; the definition of an absolute head banger. Taking vibes from Badklaat – ‘Head Crush’, the Barely Alive boys have done the maths on how to make the crowd move with this one.

Pandorum & Ivory – ‘Knight Riderz’

https://soundcloud.com/codepandorum/code-pandorum-ivory-knight-riderz-videodrome-lp-pre-order-now

I love this track, not only for the igniting opening bass and the all-encompassing quarter note screech, but the cherry on top is the “come on then!” vocal sample. Almost too much energy in this one to enjoy sitting down!

Tynan & Kompany – ‘Extraterrestrial’

The title does this one justice, it’s an out-of-this-world experience. Had to call out these boys for being absolute nerds in the SoundCloud comment section. They’ve created some unbelievable sound design. Hear for yourself, it’s another level.

Pane Mua – ‘Everything’

Seriously underrated song here, it makes me sad the play count hasn’t even hit five figures yet. I couldn’t get the main hook out of my head for days, so damn catchy and bouncy. It just puts a massive smile on my face. It’s the best song I’ve ever heard from him and it’s being massively slept on in my opinion. Out of all these tunes in this article, this one is a must-listen.

It will blow your mind. We first heard oddprophet’s stuff when he remixed SVDDEN DEATH & Yakz’s ‘Rock Like This,’ and knew he had some talent. This EP allows him to expand on his sound, and he does so with crazy creativity. The pace of ‘Check’ and frenetic builds of ‘Never Knew’ are the perfect intros to its title track – a downright filthy cut. You are left ready to hit play again with ‘Listen,’ a superb blend of drama and precision.
