Drum & Bass has started making its presence known more and more in the United States, as this genre continues to flood its way into mainstream EDM. With more and more DnB artists getting booked for festivals, more DJs incorporating DnB drops into their music and more, there has been a huge increase in talented local producers pushing their names into the Drum & Bass spotlight.  Today, we have the honor of premiering “Starfall” off his heavy hitting new Legacy EP. With its high energy breaks and heavy bass, “Starfall” is definitely not a track to sleep on. With a gradual build in intensity from start to finish, this tune will make any listener feel like they have been blasted straight into an interstellar dimension. There is no doubt that this track is going to be rinsed out all over the place very soon. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Starfall” and the rest of the Legacy EP, a certified bop.

“I wrote Skyfall to capture the feeling of weightlessness and euphoria.  With an emphasis on vocal chops and a heavy hitting bass line, this track brings something beautiful, unique, and energetic to my most recent EP.”

You’re on your deathbed and you can listen to one last song, which one would it be and why?

If I was on my deathbed and could listen to one last song, I would listen to “Fire Away” by Skrillex. I have a deep emotional connection to this song, and I feel like it captures the feeling of leaving this world and starting a new journey. 

If you could change one thing about the electronic scene, what would it be and why?

I wouldn’t change anything about the electronic scene. It’s driven by the people, which gives it its culture. Our community is always changing and evolving which keeps it new and exciting. Being a part of the music industry has always come with its challenges and difficulties, but learning how to adapt has helped me grow as an artist.

If you had one message you could share with the world right now, what would it be?

One message I would share with the world right now would be to be in the moment. Time flies, and it always seems to pass by faster and faster. Enjoy all of your successes as an artist. Treasure the moments you get to spend with your friends and family. And take a moment to go out on the dance floor and have a good time. We won’t always be here, but these memories will last a lifetime.

As many know, leap years are an extremely special anomaly that happens only once every four years, adding an extra day to the shortest month of the year. With its rarity, the day is almost filled with its own magic, warranting extra special celebration. There is no better way to encapsulate the fascination of this extra day than with an outstanding tune from none other than Tampa local bass producer, KPUFF. Those who have experienced the incredible heavy hitting experimental sounds that have emanated from this project in the past know the caliber of bangers that KPUFF puts out on a regular basis. He truly captured the whimsy of the leap year through his use of deep grimey dubstep sounds and drop switch up that will leave any listener wanting more. KPUFF has definitely taken his track “Leap Year” and packed a punch you can only find on rare days such as today. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Leap Year”, a certified bop.

“Been working on this track for a couple months and the main goal was trying to do something new. I like to do two different style drops in my track if it fits” -KPUFF

You’re on your deathbed and you can listen to one last song, which one would it be and why?

“Rusko – Hold On (Sub Focus Remix)” because it is one of me and my pops all time favorite songs.”

If you could change one thing about the electronic scene, what would it be and why?

“I would like everyone to be fully themselves through their music and not compare themselves to others.”

If you had one message you could share with the world right now, what would it be?

“Show appreciation to your people.”

The thrilling connection between analog and digital soundscapes within music is being brought to the forefront once again thanks to yet another genre-defying music producer, Analog Future.

Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to what makes this track what we like to call, a certified bop. 

“This is an experiment that began in a darkening forest. The aim was to bring the music-making process to a new environment. Suddenly, I found myself in the middle of the woods with the dark rapidly approaching. With this track, I sought to capture that sensation of an imminent chase—a race against encroaching darkness—and all the mind games that come with the absence of light.”

As humans, we tend to always be in search of what’s next in terms of music innovation and creativity. If people stay complacent and don’t consistently try to raise the bar higher and higher, we end up with the same recycled beats that all just end up sounding like VIPs of previously released tracks. Today we are beyond stoked to present you all with something fresh and awe-inspiring that is bound to leave any listener yearning for more. Willdabeast & Torbjørn are here to drop off their newest collaborative project titled “Don’t Step”. A track that truly embodies the raw talent each artist possesses within their own instrument-infused space bass. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to what makes this track what we like to call, a certified bop. 

“I have learned that in my short time here on this planet, we all struggle. So why not share the struggle? What lies beneath is the most important and that is something we all share. The subconscious is something we can’t run from. The central nervous system. ‘Beneath The Surface’ is our album and its on the way. Don’t Step  is a statement. The First single from this album to proclaim our statement and revel in the fact we have something to say. This is not just our journey but connected is something we can all be tethered to when we learn that we share similar patterns of existence. The path, the struggle, the pain, it exists in all of us.”

We love it when fresh new faces come from the depths of the underground into the spotlight. The brightness Seth David has been radiating these past few months is currently unmatched.

He is now here to further solidify his spot amongst the bass giants as one to keep a close eye on. Today we have the honor of premiering his newest single OH!, a powerful vocal-infused high-energy dubstep banger that is going to leave people in awe. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to what makes this track what we like to call, a certified bop.

“OH” brings me back to the “glory days” of dubstep in the early 2010’s…I used to love how emotional dubstep songs felt while at the same time being heavy and aggressive. I’m hoping this track can stand the test of time and give listeners that little hit of nostalgia even though it’s brand new.
