Whether you are new to the electronic scene or have been part of it for multiple years, finding tracks that you can play on repeat day in and day out without them getting old can be a task in itself. Tampa native bass producer, HEXED has definitely made that hunt a little easier with the release of his latest high energy EP, PARADOX. This three track compilation features the perfect combination of wonky bass soundscapes with classic hip hop vocal overlay that HEXED is known for. HEXED also teams up with ION to produce to our absolute banger of a premiere, “Lightspeed”, which showcases the perfect fusion of these two artists’ sounds with some crazy rap flow by featured rapper Lil Traffic. All and all, each and every one of these tracks are going to be on our personal repeat list for the foreseeable future, so do not sleep on them! Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Lightspeed” and the rest of the PARADOX EP, a certified bop.

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

I love the bass scene. I wish it wasn’t confusing for some people on the outside looking in.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what’s your game plan to get there currently?

I see myself still making music in 5 years. For me to be successful, I will need to make each song better than the last and don’t rush the process.

If there’s one individual who never fails to disappoint with each release , you better believe LUMINYST will be on that list. You don’t have to take our word for it , the production quality and intense up beat blend of basslines speaks for itself with each project. Today we have the honor of premiering a new single from the mad scientist himself titled ‘The Machine’ , a release that is part of his forthcoming SHINE LP that will later be released later in the year in it’s entirety. If you’re looking to get more previews of the album , don’t worry we got you covered as well. Next sneak peak will be out on September 6th, a collboration with BroMosapien that is bound to knock you off your feet. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to why this premiere is what we like to call , a certified bop.

In the electronic bass scene today, there is a steady influx of new and exciting music that can be experienced each and every day. Breaking through the mold as an artist and becoming a forefront producer in the world of ever flowing tunes, is none other than producer duo Mad-Lab, who are bringing forth their highly anticipated Crucible EP today. Focused on creating a heavy futuristic bass sound, these two have whipped up a stellar 4 track EP that will blow your mind. “King Walk”, the second tune off this compilation, wreaks absolute havoc with its bouncy bassline and snappy percussion to embody the confidence that any king should have. Both this track and the EP, are a do not miss and we definitely hope to be hearing it played out all over in the very near future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “King Walk” and the rest of the Crucible EP, a certified bop.

1.Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what’s your game plan to get there currently?

In 5 years, I see MAD-LAB touring and playing the biggest festivals, no doubt in my mind. Game plan is to keep getting big releases on Labels such as Deadbeats and Circus records and build a strong community of friends and fans here in the local Denver scene that would build to something bigger.

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

Right now Ivy Lab, Jon Casey or Of The Trees would be ideal to make collabs with, Jon Casey is on the rise and his sound and Flow are super unique, Ivy Lab has been killing the game for a long time and i take a lot of my style and bassline ideas from listening to them over the last few years. Of The Trees has always been a favorite and the way he brings you into a track by putting you in a place and setting has always been mind blowing to me as well as  his melody ideas.

Canadian based dubstep producer MYTHM , is here to further reign supreme as one the scenes must see festival bass acts that you should never miss. If you want to talk about high energy sets with some of the most proper dubstep plates and vocal mixing , then boy are you in for a treat if you ever see the name MYTHM on the led screen.  After destroying SHAMBALA just over a week ago , the mad man is back to already deliver some more heat for us. Today we get the honor of premiering an absolute stomper of a tune titled ‘MURDA’ which is apart of thew newly dropped ‘We Are Deadbeats Vol. 5’ compilation. It’s accompanied by other acts such as TAPE B , ZINGARA, NOTLO , SMOAKLAND and more. Time to take a deeper dive into what makes this song what we like to call , a certified bop.

Time and time again, new artists step into the spotlight to make their coveted WAKAAN label debut. Completely with a hefty EP full of bangers, freeform bass producer, Zeke Beats, is officially making his hugely anticipated debut with one of the forerunning electronic record labels in today’s scene. With this 4 track compilation of some incredible heavy hitting, trend setting tunes, Zeke Beats has broken out of his comfort zone to bring us something that is anything but typical dance music. Vigil, the title track off the EP that we have the pleasure of premiering today, creates a completely mind warping arrangement, featuring bold glitchy basslines and, of course, his famous scratching. We know this entire EP is packed to the brim with heaters that we are definitely going to see being rinsed out all of the place. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling the Vigil EP, a certified bop.

What is your biggest inspiration to this day that has helped shape your style of music and why?

“Back in my earlier days when I started music production I was an avid listener of the ‘Low End Theory’ podcasts and also their events they used to hold at the Airliner in LA. They were all about pushing the boundaries of creativity and primarily would showcase smaller underground artists who were extremely talented. As you can tell from my music I am all about being experimental and not allowing expected constructs to limit my creativity.”

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