If you are looking for an absolute heater to start your weekend, look no further than Bay- area producer, Kryptt. He is already making waves in the scene, as he pushes to the forefront with his highly anticipated EP, being released later this month, and we have the pleasure of giving you a little taste of what is to come with our premiere today. “1 STYLE” is a heavy hitting DNB/halftime combo that definitely packs a punch from start to finish. The perfect mesh of both of these genres creates a new high energy soundscape, bringing for wicked drops and a heavy bassline that is not to be missed. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling this stomper of a track, “1 STYLE”, a certified bop.

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’m so new and still breaking into the scene, so only time will tell, but at the moment I wouldn’t change a thing.

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

Alix Perez. He seamlessly flows between so many different genres of music. I aim to do the same with this project and have no defining boundaries shadowing my sound.

In today’s freeform bass scene, there is always new fresh artists and music for us to discover each and every day. If you have yet to discover the magic that is Bass Temple, look no further than this premiere we have for you today. Bass temple has reached new limits with her latest track “Coded”, blasts listeners into a supersonic soundscape, using uplifting chords and cinematic bass sounds to guide throughout this journey through the unknown. This track does not fail to create a beautiful atmosphere that provides the perfect high vibrational experience for anyone who listens. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Coded”, a certified bop.

1.Is there a message you would like to portray through your music, and if so, what would it be?

I want to tell a story with my music in a way that those who listen and connect can feel an emotional release and an escape from their day to day. I think the story itself is really up to the listener. As we navigate through trying times, connecting communities through music is more important than ever. I’d like for people to feel empowered and connected to what really matters.  

2. If there was one thing you could change in the bass scene, what would it be and why?

More and more representation by females, POC, and non gender conforming artists. It’s getting better, but there is still a long way to go.

Some of the best tracks come together when two incredible minds join forces to bring some absolute heat into the bass music scene. Freeform bass producers straight out of the ATL, Chozen and Polar Bear, have teamed up to put out their first collaborative track together, “Lift Off”. This track is packed with high energy beats, blasting listeners off on an otherworldly journey through the cosmos. “Lift Off” doesn’t fail to bring ear ringing drops and the perfect combination of excitement and euphoria that will keep you coming back for more. We know we are going to have this one on repeat for sure! Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling this stomper, “Lift Off”, a certified bop.

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

CHOZEN: In the next 1-2 years I hope to be touring the country both playing shows but also curating events to give other up & coming artists the opportunity to showcase their talents.  I have experience on both sides of the business and have always tried to bring others up with me.  I’ve worked in a team environment my whole life and also played sports so the “team” aspect of working with labels really resonates with me. That overall community is something I strive to be a part of within the next couple years as well.  A true community of artists that works together to grow and push the boundaries for themselves + the entire EDM scene.

PolarBear: In a year or two, I see my project continuing its trajectory. Just like everybody else, I would love to have the opportunity to play more shows, festivals, and get more songs signed to labels. But in reality, I have made so many close friends by making music, and I hope that continues. People like VLCN, Chozen, and  Thred have become mentors and close friends. I hope to meet all of the other amazing and talented artists the EDM scene has to offer.

2. Who/what are the biggest inspirations in the music you create today?

CHOZEN: My biggest single inspiration in the music I create most definitely stems from Zeds Dead.  I have been following Hooks & DC’s journey from the very beginning and their ability to flawlessly create hits within several subgenres of EDM is something I aspire to accomplish with my career.  While I consider myself a bass artist, I’ve always had a love for house & more melodic tracks as well.  When playing shows, I perform a mix of bass, house future bass and other wonky/funky genres depending on how I’m feeling.  Outside of Zeds Dead I take a lot of inspiration from TVBOO, Tape B, SuperAve, Ravenscoon & Evaluation.  While I pull from their music itself, I know several of them on a personal level and their general approach to the industry and what they do for their communities is why I’ve developed the most respect for them. I take a ton of inspiration from the entire Wakaan label itself also.  What Liquid Stranger & the rest of those artists have created is truly amazing and changing the world of bass music.

PolarBear: Inspiration for my music comes from artists like LSDREAM, Subtronics, and Blunts & Blondes. These artists align with my style and with their story telling, sound design, and just overall production value, I definitely pull inspiration from their music. I hope to collab with any/all of them someday.

Finding music that makes us feel in sync and connected to the world around us is crucial to the human experience. Artist Nowfeel continues to bring forth new music that does just this: heightens our emotions and allows us to be introspective of all that is going on in life. His newest LP, kin, combines multiple genres to bring an intimate deep listening experience that is not to be missed. Each of these 7 tracks put listeners into a whole new soundscape as they are taken on the journey that is kin. Our premiere today, “all around you” is a UK garage inspired track that is at the epicenter of this deep listening experience. It’s ambient sound plays perfectly into all that  kin is: “a love letter to electronic music, nature, and the human spirit”. Let’s a take a deeper dive into why we are calling “all around you” and the rest of the kin LP, a certified bop.

1. What’s one cool fact about yourself/or your project that not many fans know about?

I had my musical start as a drummer, playing in prog metal and funk bands and there are live drums of mine littered all over the album from a handful of old and current recording sessions. I also recently purchased a Roland TD-17 electronic drum kit and will be performing out live with it.

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

That’s a really hard question….I will go with some sort of global crop-dusting of a magical powder that increases the human population’s level of empathy by at least 75 % 😉
