The are a number of female artists on the rise in the electronic music scene that has continuously blown listeners out of the water with each and every track they have released. One of these incredible artists is none other than bass queen, Redrum, who has continuously blown minds and entranced ears with her unique 140 sound. Today, we have the absolute pleasure of premiering her latest track “Colors”, off her forthcoming EP Butterfly Effect. This track is paramount to the wide variety of amazing sounds Redrum can produce, showing her range and love of deep dubstep. Taking influence from early 2000s deep dubstep, “Colors” truly encapsulates her distinct production techniques by fusing these influences into a sound all her own. There is no doubt that we’ll be playing this track on repeat for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Colors”, a certified bop.

“‘Colors’ was inspired by the deep dubstep sound from the mid 2000’s – 2010’s that got me into bass music so many years ago. I wanted to put my spin on that style and fuse nostalgic sounds with modern production techniques.” – Redrum

1. How did you decide to get into making music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

A number of things inspired me to pursue music as a career, though that didn’t happen till way later in my life. I grew up playing instruments and dancing so music had always been apart of my life, and my dad was a musician as well, but until I was 24 I had never even thought about trying to make music. At that time I was at a really low point in my life and going to shows was really the only thing keeping me going, and I had a realization that I wanted to give that feeling to other people. I needed a way to process everything I had dealt with in my life and writing music became that for me, turning trauma into art.

2. What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced being an up-and-coming female DJ in the scene? Is there anything you would change within the scene in regard to this?

I would say the biggest challenge as a female artist is the amount of sexism that is still so prevalent in the industry. I’ve had multiple experiences of being yelled at for being backstage, not being believed by male staff when I say I’m an artist, I’ve been talked down to during soundchecks, the list goes on. I’ve been asked this question multiple times and to be honest I’m not sure how we change this. It’s 2023 and the fact that we still have to deal with the disrespect and blatant sexism in our industry is ridiculous to me. I think we have established women are quite capable of creating art and being in leadership roles but for some reason there’s still a gross imbalance in the industry.

3. As an artist, you can experience a number of roadblocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?

Sometimes, it’s really hard! I deal with bipolar disorder and go through manic episodes where I’m writing really great music, and then on the flip side there are long periods of depression where it’s hard to even get out of bed. Because I feel things so intensely that’s where I draw a lot of my inspiration from, especially during the depressive episodes. I try to write something that people who are feeling the same feelings I am are going to relate to and resonate with.

This year I’m really focused on creating as much as possible, collaborating with other artists and evolving my sound. I feel like there’s a lot of pressure on artists to constantly be putting out new music, especially if you’re an up-and-coming artist. I want to write music that is timeless, and that people are still going to resonate with 10 years after it’s been released. So this year my goal is to write as much as possible and push myself creatively to really grow as an artist.

There are numerous tracks circulating that are almost guaranteed to be rinsed out by artists far and wide. Creating the perfect dancefloor banger can be challenging, but does not seem to be a problem for up-and-coming bass wizard Skinny Limbs. Hailing from Denver, CO, Skinny Limbs has made a name for himself producing a wide range of tracks that have caught the scene by absolute storm. His latest release, “That’s 3”, which we have the pleasure of premiering for you all today, is nothing short of an banger. With two perfectly timed drops sure to get listeners on their feet, “That’s 3” has a catchy sound design like no other. There is no doubt that this one will be joining some of the iconic festival bangers we hear throughout the season. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “That’s 3”, a certified bop.

“That’s 3” is an etheric journey into the higher vibrational energy that lives inside of us all. The first drop represents the lower chakras and the importance of doing the work that makes us feel grounded and safe. The second drop represents the higher chakras and the light, playful energy that comes once liberated from your own limitations. Overall, “That’s 3” is a reminder of the divinity that we can experience each day, while also having fun and not being too hard on ourselves.”

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

When I was about 13 years old, I remember discovering the sounds of future bass, trap, and dubstep on SoundCloud. I was captivated by this new futuristic sound that I was hearing. I had never heard anything like it and it completely changed my perception of what music could be. I desperately wanted to learn how to make those sounds. I remember writing a bucket list a year later when I was 14. One of the goals on that list was “make a dubstep song”. I got my first DJ board as a birthday present and I bought fl studio the following year. I started teaching myself how to make simple hip-hop beats as I knew absolutely nothing about sound design. My friends would come over and I’d record their vocals in my tiny closet that was covered in sound foam. This was the begging of the Skinny Limbs project. Eventually, I realized that hip-hop beats were fun, but it wasn’t the reason that I started producing in the first place. I wanted to make EDM. I bought Ableton and started to focus on electronic elements. They day I moved from New Jersey to Colorado was the day I released my first electronic project. “Glass splinters and sunburn”  was a 12 track album full of soothing electronic elements. It’s what I could create at the time in 2018 and I was really happy with it. Since then my production techniques have grown exponentially, and here we are now.

3. As an artist, you can experience a number of road blocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?

Really it just comes down to passion. I love producing, I love bass music, I love the community and I cherish all of the amazing experiences I’ve had simply through music. When times get tough, I know it’s necessary. I know that there’s some sort of lesson that I need to learn in order to keep progressing. When I’m feeling down, one of the best things I can do for my mind is to sit down and do something creative. I take that energy and put it into my art. One thing that motivates me is to look back and see how far I’ve come and to be thankful for where I’m at now. 

I think 2023 into 2024 is going to be a huge year of growth for the project. Getting signed to one of my favorite labels is definitely a huge goal of mine. As time passes, it’s beginning to look more and more like that goal is going to be achieved. I now have a small team of really amazing people that have been helping me with the more professional side of the music world. They’ve been helping me with bookings, press releases, media coverage, artist press kits… etcetera. Pretty much all the things that have been unfamiliar to me being an independent artist for the last 9 years. I have hopes of releasing with some major labels this year that we all know and love. I have hopes to play more shows across the US and get my sounds into the festival world. I’m focusing on legitimacy this year and doing things the right way. I’m really looking forward to this next phase of the project.

There is no doubt that dubstep has been an international sensation for many many years now, and this continues to prove true with the amazing tracks that are consistently being showcased and released worldwide.

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

Oh, I was playing the piano since I was a kid with lessons and all that stuff in school for about eight years and I taught myself to play drums. So making music was kind of a thing for me since I was a child. I started producing edits and mashups when I was DJing in local clubs and that’s how I slipped into producing my very own music. I’ve built my studio at home and I couldn’t get rid of the thought to have the possibility of making music all day long. So I started to be in the studio at every free hour imaginable and pursue a career to hopefully be able to quit my other job someday.

2. You definitely have a very unique name for your project. Does the name have a specific meaning or derived from something in your life? Is there a story fans might not know about how you came to this name for your project?

Oh, this is gonna be a long one too, haha. I was rebranding three years ago and tried to come up with a name that was memorable and unique while fitting the style of my music and represented my German roots while being understood internationally at the same time. Since organizers and club owners always blamed me to crank up (and sometimes even broke) the monitoring systems at the venues I played (sorry again) I came up with ‘ÜBER’ which is German and means “over” or ‘above’ and ‘LOUD’ as a new name after thinking about it for almost two years. 

3. Being an artist in the spotlight, you have a continuously growing impact on your fanbase and the scene. Due to the nature of this, have you had any fan interactions that have particularly hit home for you as an artist and why?

The reaction of my fans when they hear my music gets me every time. To be able to spark the same emotions through my songs that I had when I created them is invaluable and still kind of a mystery to me

4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

Being able to take listeners on a unique journey through a producer’s sound design can be a difficult task even the most experienced artists face with each and every release. This challenge has never seemed to be an issue for California-based electronic producer An-ten-nae, who has proven to be a force to reckon with in the music world. As a constant production machine, An-ten-nae is back in full force with the release of his latest track “I Am Tiger” via our friends over at the Medicine Label. This track features the classic 140 dubstep that we have come to love from this artist combined with plenty of intriguing vocals, acid lines and an overall atmospheric sound design. From start to finish, this track will draw listeners in and transport them to a new realm An-ten-nae has so skilfully created. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “I Am Tiger”, a certified bop. 

“I am tiger is about being in your power, and being your best self. “
