BASSFACE X AZASSIN Join Forces to Unleash New Heater “IT MUST BE”

by | Mar 15, 2023 | PREMIERE

In the world of music, there is no doubt that when artists team up to collaborate on new releases, some absolute heaters are the results of creative minds coming together. This is especially true for today’s slam dunk of a premiere that we are stoked to present to you today, brought to you by none other than heavy-hitting producers BASSFACE and AZASSIN. Their latest track “IT MUST BE” is a true example of how collaboration produces some of the sickest drops and wonkiest sound designs. Both artists’ sounds shine through in their own way while simultaneously intertwining with each other to create this stomper of a release. This is definitely not one to sleep on, folks! Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “IT MUST BE”, a certified bop.

“BASSFACE was the first experimental producer I looked up to that gave me motivation about my music. Releasing this tune with him is a huge milestone for me and reminds me to keep pushing myself with my project and my sound design.  This tune is a journey of a blend of our sound design and our creative processes.” -AZASSIN
“I was blown away by Jaccomo’s vision from the very first lesson he took with me. I remember asking him why He wasn’t teaching ME! Well, about a year later we finally came together on an absolute anthem.” -BASSFACE

DIVING DEEP w/ BASSFACE & AZASSIN

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?

“The moment my life started to shift over to music was 2018 when I saw Excision on his Paradox tour. At the time I was studying kinesiology at community college planning on being a personal trainer. But after that concert I could not stop obsessing over the music. Every day I’d wake up find new music and search to find all the songs I heard live.  Eventually, my obsession turned into a lifestyle and this love of music evolved. I found my girlfriend on X’s tour in 2019 and she told me to pursue music. My parents weren’t very confident in me changing my entire career but I pulled the trigger and here I am the happiest I’ve ever been.” -AZASSIN

“The decision to make music was always in me, but was realized very suddenly and abruptly at work one day. I had already been listening to bass music everyday and had a great ear for it. I just stopped and asked myself “what is stopping me from doing it myself” The answer I found, was nothing at all except myself.” -BASSFACE

2. It can be very hard sometimes to separate music from day to day life when it’s a huge part of your life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?

“I find it really hard to separate my personal life and music career . I am also pursuing a sound engineer career so I am always around music. I would say that the only way my brain gets a break from the thoughts of music is when I’m with my girlfriend. She really helps me focus on enjoying life whether it’s going out, watching a movie, or just smoking and relaxing.” -AZASSIN

“Although this may not be the best advice for everyone, I don’t separate day to day life from music to any large degree. Bass music IS my life, end it takes priority over many other things. Within reason of course.” -BASSFACE

3. If there was one thing you could change for the betterment of society, what would it be and why?

“If there’s one thing I could change to better society it would be the ability to be open-minded. I feel like if people were open to new possibilities and ideas then there would be more unity in this world. Even with the music industry some of the outsiders that don’t know much about the EDM scene are not open to new genres and new sounds and I really hope in the next few years that changes because music will forever evolve and all these upcoming producers deserve the respect for all their hard work.” -AZASSIN
“What I would change about society is pretty obviously displayed in the action I take as a part of this community already. To sum it all up, proper and fair treatment for every living thing on this planet. I hope to grow my platform to the highest of heights so that my ability to make real change is stronger.” -BASSFACE

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 have learned from making music is that I am my biggest enemy. I am always holding myself back, getting in my own head and bringing myself down. There’s always gonna be that voice in the back of my head with negativity. But overcoming that negativity and doubt is when I’m at my best and happiest. Doing this and finding artists that will help you develop and further your skills whether it’s lessons or just advice on the scene is the biggest advice I have for upcoming produces.” -AZASSIN

“When it comes to making music itself, the biggest advice I could give to any aspiring producers is that self pressure will be harder to work through than any external pressure. Allow yourself to take breaks, don’t allow yourself to get discouraged when things aren’t working out right when you want them to. Just don’t give up, and breathe. For every banger I’ve written, there’s a dozen failed ideas that came before it. But all dozen were extremely essential in the process.” -BASSFACE
