BroMosapien Blows Minds w/ New Track “Blast the Funktion”

by | May 26, 2023 | PREMIERE

Every artist is constantly on a journey to find themselves through music. Whether they are looking for their sound, their message, or how to brand themselves, each and every artist, no matter the genre searches for this in every release and show they play. It can be a difficult journey with lots of soul-searching, but it ultimately makes them more in tune with the music they make and play. Andy Underwood, known to most as BroMosapien, has excelled in his own personal journey of finding himself as an artist which has become particularly evident with the last string of heaters he has released. Today, he continues this bringing forth two absolute bangers on his newest 2-track What’s Happenin EP. Both of the tracks on the EP pack an infectious high-energy punch that is not to be missed. “Blast the Funktion”, our premiere for today will surely get any dancefloor up and moving with its powerful bassline, uptempo melodies, and all-around danceable beats, this track is an absolute stomper from start to finish. It is clear that BroMosapien has honed in his sound which means plenty of bangers yet to come! Let’s take a deep dive into why we are calling “Blast the Funktion” and the rest of the What’s Happenin EP, a certified bop. 

“This EP is a true testament for my love of the 2009-2012 dubstep/drumstep sound all while wrapping it up with a new flavor of neuro style halftime which I can’t stop making. These are 2 of the heaviest & most fun tunes I have ever made & they have been going off live for the past year. These tunes are both anthems that I feel will stand the test of time over the next several years & they have both been pivotal for me in my creative process, since they have influenced my sound for the coming years. Much more like these tunes coming soon…”

Diving Deep w/ BroMosapien

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?

With my parents being music teachers, it was a no-brainer for me to become a musician. Playing drums & piano growing up really shaped who I was at a very young age. Once I was in middle school, I knew I wanted to be a professional musician (at the time a drummer for a metal band). Started learning recording & production in high school by recording my metal band & various projects, eventually leading me to bass music production in 2011. Ever since then, it’s been all gas, no brakes. 

2. As an artist, you can experience a number of road blocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?

Honestly nothing beats either being in the studio making music or the communal ceremony of playing music to crowds. No matter what obstacles get in the way, nothing will stop me from getting that euphoria & psychedelic rush from creating music. 

3. You live, breathe and eat bass music. Do you listen to anything else when you are away from everything? What would your top 5 non bass artists be? Top 5 bass artists?

I listen to soo much music outside of bass music. It kind of levels me out so I can go into the studio with fresh ears. Absolutely love to jam Tame Impala, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Turnstile, Animal Collective, Beach House, & Underoath to name a few. Top 5 bass artists would have to be: Kursa, Tipper, Resonant Language, Noisia, & Cool Customer.

4. Being an artist in the spotlight, you have a continuously growing impact on your fanbase and the scene. Due to the nature of this, have you had any fan interactions that have particularly hit home for you as an artist, and why?

There have been a ton of fan interactions that have stuck with me over the years, but last year when fans came up to me at several festivals telling me that my set was their favorite & they always jam BroMosapien music when they really want to let loose, that just hits differently. My goal is to create music & experiences to completely escape the real world & just go absolutely bonkers & when fans feel that energy completely, it’s beyond inspiring.
