There has already been an incredible influx of music even though 2023 began 11 days ago. One of our favorite bass femme fatales, Bass Temple, has started her year with an absolute bang with the release of her latest track “Stay with Me”. Featuring a cinematic soundscape, this tune encapsulates listeners through its vibrant upbeat melodies and driving vocals. Much in line with the traditional sound we have come to love from the Bass Temple project, this track packs a ton of energy into 3 minutes and 36 seconds. This track is enthralling from start to finish and we are definitely going to be bumping it for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Stay with Me”, a certified bop.

“Cinematic soundscapes are the feature in “Stay With Me”, enveloping listeners with vast melodic and complimented by an overarching vocal lick. The track continues to build on itself from start to finish to create an engaging auditory experience.”

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 knew as a child that I had a passion for storytelling but it wasn’t until much later that I decided to pursue music as an actual career. I had grown up playing instruments but getting into production really felt magical and unlocked this outlet with unlimited options for creativity and learning. Creating a journey in a song or live track is such a fulfilling way to connect. 

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?

 

Progress is being made however it’s still disproportionate and male dominated. Female and NB need to be given the same opportunities outside of advertised “all female lineup” events. I’m excited and inspired by those artists and promoters who are actively working to help shift things for the better and help make it the norm rather than an exception. 

 

3. 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?

 

Just don’t give up. With every disappointment, dusting yourself off and reinvesting in yourself and your passion. I learned that there is an endless cycle of self doubt and self criticism that comes up and that’s just part of the process. 

4. What’s next for your project? What plans do you have in the near future that you hope to accomplish as “Bass Temple”?

I love performing and I’m excited for more opportunities to do so. I also would really love to collaborate with some visual artists for my live sets.
