Bemah Reaches New Heights w/ New “Disorderly Conduct” EP

by | Jan 30, 2023 | PREMIERE

Those who have been part of the electronic music scene forever know the  distinct joy of finding an album or EP stacked top to bottom with heat. This is precisely the type of tracks that Baltimore-based bass wizard, Bemah, has packed into his 3 track EP entitled Disorderly Conduct. From start to finish, each of these tracks are absolute heaters, combining high-energy leftfield bass alongside iconic wonky halftime. Each tune has its own unique flair that combines Bemah’s traditional sound with a new and bouncy bass style. Our premiere off this EP today, “Levitate”, adds a  dash of dubstep form to a classic Bemah halftime track, creating a track unlike any other we have heard from this artist. This entire EP is definitely not something to be sleeping on! Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Levitate” and the rest of the Disorderly Conduct EP, a certified bop. 

“This EP, “Disorderly Conduct” explores my take on bouncy halftime and leftfield bass. It is the foundation of a new style for my “Bemah” project. “Levitate” was created by taking everything I know about making dubstep and applying it at halftime tempos.”

Diving Deep w/ Bemah

1. Looking back on your time making music, what would you tell your younger self today knowing where you’re at and what it took for you to get there?

There are so many things coming to mind. I would tell my younger self to enjoy the learning process more. Not to get frustrated when you couldn’t finish a track or make a good beat. You will struggle for a long time so just have fun with it and create. Most importantly organize your library and save every cool sound or idea to use in the future. Building a custom library is so key to developing your sound and style. 
2. What has been one of the most memorable career achievements so far as an artist and how did that impact you moving forward?
Playing Big Dub last summer has been my most memorable achievement so far. I have been dreaming of playing a festival since I went to my first one back in 2015. It was surreal to see my name on the flyer. The crowd was incredible and they were getting down to everything I played, especially my originals. It was so rewarding after years of hard work. The experience inspired me to work even harder in the studio so I could play more festivals this year.

3. What’s one cool fact about yourself/your project that fans might not know about?

I am from Long Island and I used to work in a Deli. I honestly miss working there. It was so much fun. We used to be able to make ourselves whatever we wanted for break and I think that is when my obsession with bagels began. Nothing beats a good bagel sandwich, in my opinion. My love for bagels and the comfort of a classic New York deli is what inspired the artwork and title for my mix series “Freshly Baked”
4. What’s next for your project? What plans do you have in the near future that you hope to accomplish as “Bemah“?
A lot of new music. I am really starting to figure out my sound and style as an artist and I cant wait for everyone to hear it. This EP was a big goal of mine and I am really proud of how it turned out. This is just a taste of what is coming. I plan to release new music every month and at least 1 more EP this year. I will also be releasing Vol 2 for my annual mix series around July timeframe. I am planning to have it be 100% unreleased this year.
