ALLEYCVT Escapes Reality w/ New Single “GLITCH”

by | Nov 8, 2023 | PREMIERE

The bass scene has a new unstoppable force within the industry and her name is ALLEYCVT. This Los Angeles-based artist is the result of determination and thousands of hours of focus with one goal in mind. It’s safe to say we are seeing that goal blossom right before us with each step ALLEYCVT takes within her newly found artist career. From millions of social media views, support for some of the world’s biggest acts on major festival lineups to now releasing with well-renowned label DEADBEATS for hew new single,’GLITCH’. If you’re looking to get pulled out of the simulation, this track is for you. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to what makes this track what we like to call , a certified bop.

“I wanted to make a happy song about love. I think the world needs more of it. It doesn’t even necessarily have to do with falling in love with another person, just falling in love with something that makes you feel like you’ve escaped the monotony of day-to-day life; escaping the matrix that you were in, even if it makes you uncomfortable.” -ALLEYCVT

DIVING DEEP W/ ALLEYCVT

Transitioning from grinding for years to landing game-changing opportunities must feel surreal. What’s the biggest shift you’ve felt in the ALLEYCVT project?

Thank you so much for having me guys!

Yes it is very surreal. I don’t think I’ve even had time to completely take the whole thing in yet to be honest. It’s just been go, go, go. I wouldn’t have it any other way! I think my biggest shift has been my plan for going into this next year. I’ve been thinking a lot about things I need to improve on, and tweaks to the aesthetics & sound of the project. I have a whole note filled with specific things I want to work on while preparing for next year. To sum it up, the biggest shift I’ve felt has just been everything becoming a lot more real to me, especially now that the Planet Supersonic tour is more than halfway over.

Fast forward 2-3 years, what’s the dream scenario for ALLEYCVT?

Ahhh. I mean, hopefully if everything goes to plan, I would love to tour Europe, maybe have my own Red Rocks show, and headlining festivals. I don’t know if that’s shooting too high though, is 2-3 years enough time for that to happen? I have no idea. Regardless, I’m still shooting for it! All I hope for truly though, is that I’m able to continue to improve my craft and make my fans happy.

Can you pinpoint the moment ALLEYCVT turned the corner? Take us to that tipping point.

I think it was probably when I released “RELIGION”. That was my first song that’s ever gotten a million streams. Right now it has over 2 million on Spotify, which is insane to me.. but yeah, I think that was the moment where I realized I might actually be able to be an artist full time.

With the wisdom you’ve gathered, what nugget of advice would you pass down to a younger ALLEYCVT, say 6-8 years ago?

Omg. So, so, SO much. I wish I could tell her that everything is gonna be okay. I do actually believe in different dimensions and stuff where there’s a different timeline of you somewhere else in the universe. I would just tell her to keep doing what she’s doing because everything actually works out. I wouldn’t get too much into specifics for her but I would just be like “you got this stop freaking out”.

Ternion Sound x Khallil Showcase New Break Beat Single “Amplify”

by | Oct 4, 2023 | PREMIERE

Transformative, innovative, and illustrious. Three great words to describe an even greater movement that has been paved by one of the scene’s most beloved trio. Ternion Sound is the real-life embodiment of what it’s like to stay true to the craft that made you. Their relentless focus on underground culture within the bass community is of high respect, which is what makes their upcoming album “Digital Artifice” that much more special. It showcases the work ethic of a trio who continuously pushes the bar forward, unveiling a new soundscape that’s different from their current signature deep roots style. The entirety of the album is set to drop on Friday, October 13th via NOISIA’s renowned label, VISION. Today we get another glimpse of the greatness that’s to come with the premiere of their new collab with Khallil titled “Amplify”. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to what makes this track what we like to call, a certified bop.

 “This album has been years in the making… and it’s the most challenging creative work we’ve ever put together.”-Ternion Sound

DIVING DEEP W/ TERNION SOUND

1. From the depths of the underground to now being one of the most highly sought-after artist groups, what has changed overall between that timeframe?
–
The nature of the shows we’re playing is much different. Ternion started almost as a rejection from the spaces we all occupied before, mainstage EDM centered venues with bad soundsystems and scenes that weren’t as mature as we’d liked. We were all playing Riddim and heavier brostep type music and it was getting tiring being in that culture. The first couple years of Ternion we were playing a lot smaller shows in atypical venues, but usually with great sound, lots of custom hand built systems or small high end brand systems. Lately though our sound has taken off in popularity and a lot of the same old issues are coming up, some of the spaces we sought to get away from are interested in us as we “get bigger”, and the crowds are less in sync and on the same wavelength. Fighting against those pressures while still growing is a difficult task, we need growth to sustain a living, but growth under the current industry model means doing a lot of stuff we aren’t aligned with. Our hope is to take our resources from growing and put them into throwing our own parties or working with promoters we trust to do things in a way that’s aligned with our vision. To use a term borrowed from political theory, we’re trying to build an alternate power structure.

2. Being on the road as an artist comes with its challenges, I can only imagine multiplying that by three now. What are some of the ups and downs you guys have learned to overcome by being a trio in the electronic scene? 
–
The biggest challenge with being a trio is we split everything 3 ways. It’s a great strength because we can delegate tasks, share workload, etc. But we are still only one act, filling one timeslot in the night, getting the draw of a single act, and getting paid accordingly, which means each of us as an individual gets 1/3rd of the pay a typical act at our size w/ typical pay gets. It doesn’t end up being 1/3rd the work either, the 3 of us all work full time doing this, so the delegated work just means we can do more work at the end of the day. This all basically means that we have to be very frugal and do a lot of things DIY even though the perception is that we’re very successful. Touring costs also eat a lot into this, sending all 3 members of the group to a show means triple the flight costs and additional room/bed costs. We typically send 2 for this reason as a middle ground, but even just with 2 we are doing 80+ shows a year (necessary to pay the bills), and for the two of us mostly on the road (me and Aric), there isn’t much time left at home for studio work, recovery (sleep debt management), and personal life. It’s a tough thing to juggle.
–
3. What are three things that bring joy to your life when looking to escape from the music world at times and why.
–
My escape from the music world has mostly been getting outside into nature without my phone on and just sitting in pure silence. Loud music, social media, socializing in person, traveling, flying, constantly talking to strangers, getting bad sleep, racking my brain for ideas in the studio, endless meetings and planning, etc are all exhausting forces, and for me what’s needed is silent time with no stimulation to recover from all of it. I also spend a good amount of time at the climbing gym and doing yoga and saunaing. Occasionally I get together with friends to play games as well, pretty simple stuff for me really.

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.

“‘Murda’ is a high energy, dark and distorted track with swift vocal cuts that has been doing absolute damage during my sets around North America” as of late”. 

 

1. What has been your biggest inspiration to this day that has helped shape your style of music and why? 
–
I’d have to say when I  first visited the Shambhala Music Festival and Bass Coast Music festival back in the summer of 2017, I was just discovering the bass music scene. That ultimately changed my life and shaped where I am currently with MYTHM. After going to those two festivals and seeing acts like Thelem, Craze, Bleep Bloop, Truth, I left wanting to create and dove head into production shortly after that. 
–
2. What has been a personal career struggle that you have battled with the most that has helped mold your character for the better good presently?
–
Last year during covid it was really hard for me to see the scene in the U.S continue having shows while I was in Canada. Being from Vancouver, I was essentially stuck on the outside looking in since I wasn’t able to take show bookings and offers in the states due to the borders being closed. It wasn’t an easy time, however, it gave me the opportunity to keep my head down and grind. And that’s exactly what I did. Through perseverance and focusing on my craft in the studio, it put me in the position of where I am today and I’m very thankful for that. 
Meduso Turns All Heads w/ New Heater ‘Rock Like This’

Meduso Turns All Heads w/ New Heater ‘Rock Like This’

by | Jun 16, 2022 | PREMIERE

There are a few artist that we can name off the top of our head that constantly seem to impress us time and time again with every release. Meduso, a heavy hitter from Los Angeles,California, is here to mesmerize the minds of every basshead once more with his all original high energy style of bass music. Today we have the honor of premiering his newly released heater ‘Rock Like This’ , a classic showcase of what it’s like to get lost in an auditory experience of a mad scientist. If you’re looking to get down with one the of the bass scenes fastest rising electronic acts that has derived support from Wakaan , Gravitas , Deadbeats and more , then you’re on right track. There is a reason why so many heads are now leaning towards the Meduso project , the man simply does not miss. Don’t take our word for it, simply tune in to today’s certified bop to realize why he’s on our list of must see acts for this upcoming fall season of festivals.

DIVING DEEP W/ MEDUSO

1. Who/what has been the biggest inspiration for the MEDUSO project and why?
This is a tough one because I really do try to pull inspiration from across different areas, whether it’d be from a musician, fine artist, sculptor, Vfx artists, a movie — it really does change from project to project as Meduso evolves. 
But if I had to choose right now, I’d honestly say Svdden Death’s Voyd is one of my greatest inspirations for the project. Not only do I really admired his originality, storytelling, and intention behind everything he works on, but the fact that he has been able to create this whole universe that feels very cinematic is insanely cool to me. It has left me really inspired to work and find an authentic way for me to incorporate design, themes, and storytelling into all aspects of the Meduso project. 
2. What kind of goals do you wish to have achieved by 5 years from now and for what benefit?
In five years the Meduso project will have expanded across a few different mediums other than just being more music centric as it is today. The vision is to be able to create multi-sensorial experiences (both physically and digitally) that are all very storytelling centric. Id also love to bring this storytelling on tour, festival stages, warehouses. Honestly, the more abstract the better. 
 
I’m really just trying to build experiences that people can dive into and feel like they’re a part of. Every experience that has left me the most inspired and just happy to be alive has come from something that makes me go, “holy shit, I’m so thankful to be here now, to experience___”. It’s that perplexed, inspired feeling that I love chasing and hope for the observer to experience through the lens of the Meduso Project.

DIVING DEEP W/ SUPER AVE.

What has been the most memorable experience thus far an artist still on the fast rise within the bass scene?
–
It’s going to sound cliche, but it’s meeting and interacting with so many good people, fans, artists etc. Having all of the support translate into the energy and love that I’m getting makes all of the time and effort worth it
–
It’s hard to gauge how your  music is having an impact and it’s feels amazing to feel the response
–
What/who inspires you keep moving forward not only as an artist but as a person in general and why?
–
It’s never one person, its the music, it’s the fans, it’s the scene, it’s the culture. Everything I put out is to the elevate the scene and the culture while pushing the sound that we crave for. The energy and love I’m getting is more than enough inspiration
