Being able to push the boundaries of sound and create music that is limitless is a challenge that every musical artist faces throughout their career. Being able to do this takes lots of talent and JABBS is definitely one of these artists that continues to excel in the bass music scene. Coming to you fresh with his latest EP Nameless, this Bay Area producer has put together an intense but beautiful compilation of tracks that explores both the emotional and darker tones of this project. Our premiere track today off this EP, “Karma Cream” shows off JABBS’s Middle Eastern roots balanced by fuzzy basslines, a deep downtempo sound design and a distinct tone of wind instruments all strung together. This track and the entire EP is a unique journey from start to finish that you definitely don’t want to miss out on hearing as soon as possible. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Karma Cream” and the rest of the Nameless premiere, a certified bop.

“In a blending of true Jabbs roots and some new direction, Karma Cream takes you on a sub focused journey. With haunting melodies and controlling mids, this one is meant to soothe and surprise.”

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 you have done differently?

I think I would just put less pressure on myself with the understanding that the only thing standing in anyone’s way is time. If you put in the time, be patient, and make music that is true to yourself – people eventually start to notice. It’s all about finding your tribe, a group of people that believe in you and support you. I’m very grateful to have found that in my Sweetsounds, Gradient Perspective, and Hemi.Wav crews. The best way to find that is by providing that support and respect first! Find artists you appreciate and give them love. It goes a long way.

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

Oh man there’s quite a few, but for me that artist right now is Cartridge. I’m obsessed with his ability to make powerful minimalist tracks while staying true to the dubstep sound. He’s top of my list. A few honorable mentions: Notlo, Veil, Enigma Dubz, The Widdler.

If you have been looking for an absolutely amazing up and coming artist that will melt your brain with some insane high energy tunes, look no further than today’s artist Camnah. Coming out swinging with his newest 2 track EP, Arcadia, Camnah showcases two very different aspects that is evident in the titles “Growth” and “Decay”. Masterfully using two different experimental bass sounds and combining both up tempo and downtempo styles to showcase the duality of these concepts through sound. Both of these track take you on an incredible journey through both a high energy and calm soundscapes that will leave you yearning for more, so make sure you don’t sleep on this release. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling the Arcadia EP, a certified bop.

1. What has been one of the most memorable career achievements so far as an artist and how did that impact you moving forward?

I always feel that my most memorable achievement is seeing my idols play my music out. Recently, I received a clip of an unreleased collab with Omnist being played out by kLL sMTH at infrasound and it’s just such a surreal feeling. I look up to these artists and to see producers like Zeds Dead play a song I make in my basement at red rocks is the boost of confidence that drives me in the studio. 

2. What’s one artist you’re grateful for that has inspired you to be where you are today and why?

Currently my biggest inspirations are VCTRE and Black Carl! for multiple reasons but the biggest is seeing where they started and their path to success by staying true to the music and creating what they want when they want is something I strive for everyday.

If you are looking for something hard and heavy to fuel your Friday and push you into this weekend, boy do we have a treat for you today.

Between brain melting track selection from multiple of your favorite artists and the consistent flow of high energy, this mix doesn’t fail to get you up and raging just about anywhere. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling Space Wizard’s Space Odyssey Volume 1 mix a certified bop.

1. What has been one of the most memorable career achievements so far as an artist and how did that impact you moving forward?

Achieving my own sound as weird as that sounds. once i learned how to truly make the music that i wanted to make, it really opened a lot of doors for me creatively. i was able to take things that i think make up the “space wizard sound” and replicate those in to any genre.

2. 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?

probably to explore making music i wanted to make earlier. i think a lot of my mind was dead set on if i open ableton, i have to make something i can release/play at a show and that can be a toxic mindset. your hobby becomes a true job at that point and you can lose sight of why you made the music in the first place. i think once i started to just make random beats and ambient stuff again i started to get more comfortable writing bangers again.
