Bromosapien Comes Out Swinging w/ New High Energy EP Zooted

Bromosapien Comes Out Swinging w/ New High Energy EP Zooted

“Making it” in the bass scene nowadays seems to become harder and harder due to the constant influx of talent. This isn’t difficult at all, though, for the artist we have for you today.  One of our favorite freeform bass producers here at Headbang Society, Bromosapien, has blessed all of our eardrums on this lovely Friday with the release of his newest heavy hitting EP entitled Zooted. This massive 5 track EP is packed with high energy stompers, and even features a stellar collaboration with producer Engix. Our premiere track today of this compilation, “Sacred Soundwaves” is definitely not one to sleep on. Its precise combination of uptempo melodies and an absolutely crushing bassline make this track an absolute heater of a tune that will surely have you on the dancefloor. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Sacred Soundwaves’ and the rest of the Zooted EP, a certified bop.

“This track has been a staple in my sets for the past year & is actually the first tune that was made in this project. This song really focuses on the drums & percussion, being that I recorded a lot of my own live drums to add a whole new flavor of production. With absolutely roaring basses & quick bits of neuro juice, this tune is a hefty force on the dance floor.”

  1. What kind of impact do you wish to have on the scene 1-2 years from now with your project?

 

I hope to bring people in the scene (& the world in general) together! I also hope I can introduce the scene to the artists I love most, so if I’m able to have the platform, I want to be able to educate on all the styles and sounds I love (Both EDM & Non EDM).

 

  1. If there was one thing you could change for the betterment of society, what would it be and why?

 

If I could change anything in society I would MOST CERTAINLY do anything to stop discrimination, judgement, & hierarchy overpowerment. The world is already a hard enough place to live in without having people telling you what you should be doing, and spewing an agenda that is very clearly against others. I’ve ALWAYS been about freedom of expression & doing whatever your heart desires as long as you’re not harming anyone else or yourself. The world can be a beautiful place and it is our duty as human beings to keep it that way & allow others to live as they please in harmony.

Today we have the honor of premiering his newly released heater ‘Rock Like This’ , a classic showcase of what it’s like to get lost in an auditory experience of a mad scientist. If you’re looking to get down with one the of the bass scenes fastest rising electronic acts that has derived support from Wakaan , Gravitas , Deadbeats and more , then you’re on right track. There is a reason why so many heads are now leaning towards the Meduso project , the man simply does not miss. Don’t take our word for it, simply tune in to today’s certified bop to realize why he’s on our list of must see acts for this upcoming fall season of festivals.

DIVING DEEP W/ MEDUSO

1. Who/what has been the biggest inspiration for the MEDUSO project and why?
This is a tough one because I really do try to pull inspiration from across different areas, whether it’d be from a musician, fine artist, sculptor, Vfx artists, a movie — it really does change from project to project as Meduso evolves. 
But if I had to choose right now, I’d honestly say Svdden Death’s Voyd is one of my greatest inspirations for the project. Not only do I really admired his originality, storytelling, and intention behind everything he works on, but the fact that he has been able to create this whole universe that feels very cinematic is insanely cool to me. It has left me really inspired to work and find an authentic way for me to incorporate design, themes, and storytelling into all aspects of the Meduso project. 
2. What kind of goals do you wish to have achieved by 5 years from now and for what benefit?
In five years the Meduso project will have expanded across a few different mediums other than just being more music centric as it is today. The vision is to be able to create multi-sensorial experiences (both physically and digitally) that are all very storytelling centric. Id also love to bring this storytelling on tour, festival stages, warehouses. Honestly, the more abstract the better. 
 
I’m really just trying to build experiences that people can dive into and feel like they’re a part of. Every experience that has left me the most inspired and just happy to be alive has come from something that makes me go, “holy shit, I’m so thankful to be here now, to experience___”. It’s that perplexed, inspired feeling that I love chasing and hope for the observer to experience through the lens of the Meduso Project.

What has been the most memorable experience thus far an artist still on the fast rise within the bass scene?
It’s going to sound cliche, but it’s meeting and interacting with so many good people, fans, artists etc. Having all of the support translate into the energy and love that I’m getting makes all of the time and effort worth it
It’s hard to gauge how your  music is having an impact and it’s feels amazing to feel the response
What/who inspires you keep moving forward not only as an artist but as a person in general and why?
It’s never one person, its the music, it’s the fans, it’s the scene, it’s the culture. Everything I put out is to the elevate the scene and the culture while pushing the sound that we crave for. The energy and love I’m getting is more than enough inspiration

DeeZ Throws Down w/ New EP “Precursor” via Street Ritual

DeeZ Throws Down w/ New EP “Precursor” via Street Ritual

We are back at it again, coming at you live with another absolute stomper of a premiere for this beautiful week day evening. West Coast freeform bass producer, DeeZ, brings forth a heater of a multi-genre EP “Precursor” that is sure to catch the attention of listeners all over electronic spectrum. This 8-track compilation being released by our friends over at  Street Ritual, combines glitch hop, dubstep and even halftime dnb together into an incredible auditory experience.The track we have for you today, “RINSE”, creates an incredible up tempo atmosphere, heavy hitting basslines and an ear catching melody that curates a space like atmosphere unlike we’ve heard before. This bouncy extraterrestrial tune is definitely not one you should miss. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “RINSE” and the rest of the Precursor EP, a certified bop. 

“This EP is a collection of tunes that I’ve been working on since 2020. Some of them are as recent as 5 months old though. Initially I had 4 tracks that I thought was going to be an EP. After I wrote Rinse, I felt it the EP should be expanded and become more well rounded. Through the process of finalizing the release, I felt a change in the way I was thinking about making music. To me, this EP is the precursor to the next phase of my artistic journey! “

  1. If there was an artist you had the chance to collaborate with, who would it be and why?

 

I don’t like to put anyone on a pedestal but if I had to choose someone, I think it would be Mefjus. His production skill is next level and I think what he chooses to create with that skill is amazing. His music resonates a lot with me and in general he seems like a cool person. We share a lot of common interests outside of making music and I wonder if those interests are part of why his music clicks with me. I would be very curious to see what techniques he uses and also what creative decisions would be made at various stages.

 

  1. If you could go back in time and start over given what you have learned in your career so far, what changes and approach would have done differently?

 

I think the most important thing I’ve learned is that you should only pursue being an artist for the sole reason that you love making art. There are so many things that can quickly become stressful or frustrating being an artist but most of those emotions stem from skewed priorities (or ego). Many up and coming artists (myself included) experience a sense of what they have earned or is deserved. Naturally after spending thousands of hours doing something, it feels right that you should get certain opportunities. As many find out, opportunities aren’t distributed based on how good or deserving you are. This is one of the major factors of artist burnout in my opinion. Not only getting frustrated that X, Y or Z didn’t happen to you, but also thinking that spending more hours a day grinding will surely bring in those opportunities. At the end of the day, if you have fun making music, what comes from that is far less relevant. If I make a tune, it matters way more to me how much I enjoyed it and learned from it than how many plays it got or what opportunities it brought me. Trying to become an artist because you think it’ll make you happy, popular, cool etc will lead to disappointment. This isn’t to say that if you love making music everything will be stress free. There is still so much stuff involved with being an artist that has nothing to do with making music but I think getting your priorities straight and not worrying about other people is key!
