We’ve been on um..‘s trail for some time now, and shortly after releasing our interview with the duo, their iconic Shambhala debut set is now available for everyone to get weird to! It draws inspiration from multiple realms of bass. Some of the features include the nostalgic glitch sounds of Koan Sound, massive heavy-hitters like Trampa and Vorso, as well…
