Being able to escape reality and transport yourself to different realms and worlds through sound is definitely one of the best things about music. Whether you are just looking to boost your mood, clear your mind or just vibe out in your current space, there is a multitude of incredible tracks that allow you to do just this. Today’s premiere will provide the perfect atmosphere for any of these things as up and coming bass wizard Frequency Bender brings forth his latest EP entitled Metamorphosis. With each track serving to mimic the different feelings and sound of an insect’s growth and metamorphosis, our premiere today, “Chrysalis”, envokes the sound of a caterpillar changing itself into a butterfly with its bouncy synths and exciting switch ups. This track definitely has the perfect vibe for any occasion and we will definitely be playing this one on repeat for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Chrysalis” and the rest of the Metamorphosis EP, a certified bop.

“The ‘Metamorphosis’ EP represents the drastic changes that I’ve experienced in my life within the past year. Just like a chrysalis, lots of growth can happen when we fully surrender to the process and trust the universe. My goal with this EP is to inspire others to continue living their dreams and to be grateful for the growth we get to have in this experience as a human being.”

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?

Music is something I’ve always felt passionate towards, but I didn’t know it was something I could make a career out of until recently. My love of musical arts started as a child when I began to participate in school choirs and musicals. I continued to pursue singing all throughout high school, and was a part of my school’s jazz choir until I graduated. I first downloaded Ableton (a music production software) when I was a Junior in high school, but before I was able to find my flow with the program, someone had stolen my laptop. I later rediscovered my love for music production when I was a
sophomore in college, and I’ve been passionate about this art eversince then.

2. What has been a personal career struggle that you have battled with the most and how has it helped mold your character for the better good presently?

The biggest struggle of my career so far has been to stay motivated and driven to continue my art even though I’m not able to fully financially support myself through my music. Living the life of a ‘starving artist’ has been extremely humbling and makes me grateful for the support of my family, friends, and community. I know that with enough dedication and hard work that things will all come together. If I continue to know my worth and stay true to my vision, I’m sure that I’ll find success within the music industry.

3. It can be very hard sometimes separating music from day to day life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?

I feel like my everyday life is extremely music driven. I’m lucky to have a day job that is very flexible with its hours so I can prioritize being in the studio. Although music motivates most things that I do, focusing on my mental health has been my number one priority. I strive to find a good balance between working on music and experiencing other aspects of life. I gather a lot of my inspiration from spending time in nature, hanging out with friends, and dancing to live music. These activities are what fuel me to get back in the studio and continue to work on the art that I love.

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

The name Frequency Bender was inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender. I started watching the show as a child and I’ve always resonated with the positive messages and lessons within the story. I want to pay my tribute to the series, so I’m currently working on an ‘Elements’ EP that features a song for each of the four elements. This project has brought me a lot of joy, and I’m looking forward to sharing my musical creations with the world!

There is much to say about San Diego bass producer, XAVAGE, and his current rise to the forefront of the electronic bass scene with his steady flow of killer releases. He has never failed to surprise us with the wide range of different sounds he encorporates into each and every tune, leaving us wanting more with each drop. Today, this acceleration into the spotlight of bass music continues with his latest track, “Don’t Stop”, which packs an infectious energy from start to finish. With its trap style soundscape and funky synths, this track’s bouncy nature will have anyone grooving and moving to its catchy melodies. XAVAGE is not here to play with this release, bringing the feel good party vibes to us whenever we get the chance to blast this. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Don’t Stop”, a certified bop.

“Don’t Stop is all about bringing the twerk vibes to bass music. I was inspired to create a song that gets people moving and grooving. Fans can expect some major collabs in the near future that raise the bar of electronic trap music centered around bounce and groove”

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?

Dancing was my gateway drug to pursuing music production. I grew up on several competitive hip hop dance teams and throughout the years my passion for music transitioned from dancing to creating music. This is the sole reason why I push for rhythm and groove in all my songs.

2. What has been the biggest difference you’ve noticed when first starting off as an artist vs now after experience playing events, doing releases etc?

In the wise words of Michael Scott from the Office, “Keep it simple stupid”. Throughout the years I have simplified my music by focusing on making one great idea sonically cohesive.

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

The impact I want to make on the trap scene is to bring us back to the roots of rhythm and groove. Trap music does not have to be brain melting music focused on opening up a pit.

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?

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to not make music to impress other artists. Stick to what makes YOU move. Break the rules and most importantly put in effort every single day to be better.

Music is something that has always united people on a global front, no matter where you come from or what you look like. Being able to share new music from all ends of the globe is definitely a goal of ours here at Headbang Society, and today’s premiere does just that. Coming to you live and direct all the way from British Columbia, we have an absolute heater of a trap track from none other than heavyweight producer Gl0bal. “Demon Hours” reveals with some of this artists best known tunes, bringing nothing but nonstop high energy bass from start to finish. With is driving bass lines and catastrophic drops, this track is definitely not one you should be sleeping on. Make sure you loosen those jaw muscles folks because this one will definitely leave you with a permanent bass face! Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling this stomper “Demon Hours”, a certified bop.

“If the UK Drill and Electronic Trap Founders had a baby that baby would be Demon Hours. Demon hours is a taste of where Gl0bal brand is going”

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?

I’m not sure if there was a certain event but I grew up playing the drums for over eight years and when my parents would throw parties back in the day the music was always the key element to a successful party! Music has always been a joy in my life one way or another and the rush I’d get from performing something I created or had a hand in creating was always something I wanted to do on a large scale. 

2. What has been a personal career struggle that you have battled with the most and how has it helped mold your character for the better good presently?

I would say a big personal ongoing battle would be a sense of belonging and it’s still something I deal with consistently that I’ve gotten better at accepting. What I mean is that I don’t feel like I belong in the scene or there’s really a space or want in this scene for people like me to be honest. I do strongly believe that, and this has basically forced me to become more comfortable with what I’m creating and become more comfortable with the direction my career is going and become more appreciative of the win’s that do come along the way.

3. 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?

1.   I would have traveled more to connect with more friends in the industry. The music business is a strong relationship business also and I have made more strides in my career from a quick weekend trip of travel versus one year of messaging online. 
2.   I would have sat down with myself and identified what I wanted my sound/brand to look like early on and developed a more concrete forward-looking plan. 

4. Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

I would say what has helped me a lot was really sitting down and identifying what I want my brand to look and sound like… and then leaning and trusting that because at the end of the day that’s your vision.

No matter the sub-genere, there are a plethora of artists bringing forth new and exciting music for us to enjoy from all courners of the globe at all times of the day.

This track is definitely one that will have you up and headbanging from start to finish. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling this stomper of a track, “Back To Me”, a certified bop. 

“Back To Me is the perfect symbiosis between emotional and bass-heavy electronic music. I love playing the track on my shows and seeing people go off to the drops. I loved working on this song and releasing it with Dubstep Germany. The guys over there really put in the hours for getting everything in place for a perfect release. ”

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

In general, the goal for me is to have the time to make music and music-related things all day long someday. So since I have to take care of my family the goal is to get independent from my current full-time job through music. More specifically, I’d love to start touring and playing some bigger EDM festivals and clubs like Parookaville or Blacklist here in Germany in the near future. I got tons of finished unreleased music, so the plan is to get everything out there, and gain some support from bigger artists and labels.

2. What would you tell your younger self today knowing where you’re at now and what it took to get there?

The most important is to KEEP HANGIN ON and START DOING WHAT YOU LOVE! It can feel like an eternity until you see the smallest amount of traction with your music so it’s essential to stay patient and keep believing in yourself!

3. Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

Try to find communities (like Dubstep Germany) that give you honest, professional, and constructive feedback. That increases your learning rate immensely and lets you connect with like-minded people. But the absolute hardest part is being patient. If you keep up your passion for the process of creating you will improve all by yourself. Make music that you love and you will make good music. But don’t expect to have success coming overnight.

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?

“Since I was a young kid, I’ve always had a love for music, especially live shows. I went to my first music festival, Bonnaroo, when I was just 18 with a group of friends to celebrate graduating high school. I was so inspired by so many of the artists I saw that year that I bought my first DJ controller the day I got home. I would spin as more of a hobby for a long time and then once I graduated college, I decided to pursue the dream more seriously.” -CHOZEN

“I started band at school in the sixth grade playing alto saxophone and fell in love with the challenge of learning music and how to channel my expression through an instrument. Already being a huge fan of hip-hop and beat makers, it was only right that I tackle learning how to cook beats next!” -MVLIK HD

2. What has been a personal career struggle that you have battled with the most and how has it helped mold your character for the better good presently?

“One of the biggest struggles for me has been balancing a full time job and my music passion. I work pretty full days so trying to find time to dedicate to music can be a bit of a struggle. The biggest lesson that it’s taught me is to prioritize things that mean the most to you. There have been countless times where I’ve given up going out with friends to stay in and work on my craft. I think time management and dedication are huge for anyone getting into the industry. There are going to be distractions everywhere so it’s important to remember to do the right things and try to be a genuine and kind person to anyone you interact with.” -CHOZEN

“Self criticism is something I struggle with every day. I’m my own biggest critic and I sometimes hold myself back because I think I could do better. This year I’ve let go of a lot of fears in that realm and am really going for it with releasing tunes and putting myself out there.” -MVLIK HD

3. What has been one of the most memorable career achievements so far as an artist and how did that impact you moving forward?

“In September I had the chance to play at Imagine Music Festival. When I was first getting into the bass scene, I was an ambassador for Imagine for about five years before getting the chance to play it, it was such a full circle moment. I also helped put on a renegade stage at the festival with a group of about 20 or so amazing individuals. We never expected how amazing it would turn out… we had artists like Peekaboo, G-Rex, Sully, Champagne Drip, Luzcid, Ravenscoon, Blunts and Blondes, Lizzy Jane, and so many more amazing artists bless the stage. That’s something I will never ever forget. I plan to continue throwing shows throughout the years, I like working on that side of the industry as well.” -CHOZEN

“The best part of this whole thing for me is the people for sure. Whether it’s meeting other talented, dedicated artists, or getting to blast out original music in a room full of strangers. Meeting genuine people and getting to connect through music keeps me going for sure!” -MVLIK HD

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?

“Never give up. The music industry is an absolute grind. For some people, they will blow up after one song, for others it might take an entire decade. Don’t compare yourself to others, just make sure YOU are progressing from year to year. The other huge piece especially for people just getting started is networking. Go out and meet as many people as you can. If you don’t like going out, use social media to connect with other artists and learn from each other!” -CHOZEN

“At the end of the day we’re all just people and every person deserves respect and kindness. As far as I think my talent has gotten me musically, I’d argue that leading with a kind heart has gotten me further every time!” -MVLIK HD
