Trap

This Tuesday saw an absolutely gigantic drop for the bass music community in the form of Shadows Volume 4; the latest compilation album from the beloved underground bass label Shadowtrix Music. Most bass music fans are no doubt already aware of this release, but just in case you’ve been living in the Mariana Trench this week, let me fill you…

This has been a fantastic week for bass music, and it looks like we’re not quite done either, because Dalfin just dropped this ‘Coral Cove’ EP on us out of nowhere. Perhaps more widely known for his role as 1/2 of the aggressive, heavy Dubstep duo, Raidboss, Dalfin’s solo project has been making waves underground with art that focuses more…

After being on tour, shredding through the bass music scene as-per-usual, Bro Safari released a video that is getting some reactions. ‘Reality’ is a battlefield of trenches with drops that are almost satirically pinned to Sarah Hudson’s lip-smackingly sweet vocals. Trembling bass, and sticky caramel vocals rush together and unite in a sexy, slinky sound. As the video starts out…

lux.impala has been owning the dark trap sound since he dropped his debut EP The Sword. Meanwhile MYRNE has been burning up our SoundCloud feed with a slew of releases (see: ‘Low Life,’ & Fundamentals). Seeing the two comes together seems like a perfect match and ‘Gold Chest’ proves this. The track is dark as it is deep. Layers of…

Jelacee and DJ Lukey, the lads that comprise the London-based production & DJ duo, pride themselves on their ability to read a room. They know the ins and outs of…

Laval, QC native High Klassified makes trap beats. Within that he has fostered a sound that is uniquely his own- an accomplishment for any producer, let alone one that contributes to a style that adheres so closely to fairly strict genre rules. In addition to the skittering snares and fat 808 kicks one would expect, HK blends in deep atmospheric sounds, warm textures, and interesting melodies…

Instant Party! and Quix linked up to create this new banger and when you press play you definitely won’t be disappointed. The track is laced with drums that will make you jump, bop and wild out. The vocal sample from 2 Live Crew’s ‘I Wanna Rock’ is chopped so well that it sounds like a synth and nothing really prepares…
