If you’ve been in search of an electronic project that can transcend through time itself thanks to their upbeat and futuristic cyber punk style , boy do we have a treat for you. Future Twist , the dynamic duo sent from the depths of an alter reality , are here to disrupt the balance of frequencies set in motion by past individuals. Time to take a dive into their newest 4 track auditory experience titled ‘Everything is Fine in Arcadia EP’ , a mind bending dystopia meant for all those looking to get down to dubstep of neon descent. Today we get the honor of premiering “O.V.E.R.” , our personal favorite of the 4. Join us as we unravel the reasoning for what makes this particular track what we like to call, a certified bop.

“O.V.E.R.” is the final screen in the immersive world of Arcadia. This track is the close of the EP, and which remix of the final boss stage, “Robot Fight Night” you listen to determines if this is a winning high-score screen, or a losing game-over.

What’s one artist you’re grateful for that has inspired you to be where you are today and why?

Pixel Terror has been one of our biggest inspirations over the past few years, and it’s been a huge honor to get to know them, and play direct support for them in our hometown. They’re consistently pushing the envelope on Melodic-Yet-Heavy electronic music these days, and Ahrya’s solo Bosquet project is absolutely beautiful. They’re easily some of the most skilled and talented musicians in the industry right now.

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

In a perfect world, we’d love to be regularly traveling to different states and cities, sharing a custom audio/visual experience with a heavy focus on storytelling. Our dream label right now is Monstercat, so we’d love to be sharing stages with their roster of amazing artists – but to be honest, we just want the opportunity to share our creative visions and connect with everyone who’s helping us get there. We have sooo much music we’re working on releasing right now, including collabs with some artists we’ve been fans of since highschool. We’re also focusing super heavy on our creative visual representation so that listeners can find themselves exploring our artistic worlds through more than just the music itself.

If there is one thing we enjoy more than the absolute range of frequencies that free form bass has to offer, it’ll have to be the discovery and upbringing of new artists into the spotlight.  Liquid Stranger founded label , WAKAAN , is one of the bass scenes leaders when it comes to showing who is currently in trend and is deserving of such a feature. Toronto-based artist , Canabliss , is here to showcase why she has already found an audience within the community thanks to her high ernergy yet heavy 4 track EP titled ‘PLASMA’. We have been given the opportunity to premiere our personal favorite off the project , “Safety Island” , a track that revolves itself around an auditory expierence based off dark yet eccentric atmospheres. Let’s take a further dive as to what makes this track what we like to consider, a certified bop.

“Electricity is everywhere, even in our own brains. Currents is about forming connections spiritually and physically in life. In this EP ‘Plasma’ I explored new sound design with tons of heavy bass and dark atmospheres to help express some of the more difficult times we experienced these past couple years. In Canada we’ve still been pretty much locked down without any live music available, so writing music has been my primary outlet.”

What’s one artist you’re grateful for that has inspired you to be where you are today and why?

I would say that all the amazing underground artists inspire me the most.
There’s so much spectacular music out there that deserves more recognition! My favourite way to get inspired is by searching through Soundcloud and finding mostly unheard gems that consist of so many innovative sounds. If I had to choose one artist I would say Ivy lab has always made a huge impression on me. They’re one of the first bass artists I had the pleasure of seeing live at a festival in Croatia 5 years ago and ever since then i’ve been blown away by the unique sounds they create.

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

In 5 years I wish for my project to make a huge impact in the industry. Ive always wished to inspire others to follow their dreams and work hard to get there. I want my music to explore different areas and help bring them together. I aspire to mix prettier sounds with super dark techniques to make a unique type of bass music. I want for my visuals and music to come together to make a special experience for my listeners that automatically speaks “Canabliss”. The game plan is to work hard and keep grinding and one upping myself and creating new goals constantly!

It’s time for Arkansas to stand tall and proud , as they are being absolutely blasted on the map due to the efforts of one individual who just doesn’t appear to miss. Nick Wolfe , better known as Wolf-e-Wolf, is here to deliver a three track auditory experience titled “Dream System” via our friends over at MorFlo Records. If there is one man we can trust that never fails to bring the madness within the free form genre , Wolf-e-Wolf definitely takes the cake for this one and for good reason as well. If you’re in search of letting your mind roam free through the fabrics of heavy textured basslines and uplifting atmospheric melodies, we can assure you will not leave disappointed. It’s time to dive deep as to what makes today’s premiere of “Deprogram” off the EP , what we like to call a certified bop.

We are back once again to further bring the hottest upcoming bass talents to the fore front of today’s electronic scene. On the rise are two individuals that are looking to bring a disruption to the on going frequency balance that hold fabric of this reality together. It’s safe to say they did just that with today’s premiere of “Broken Simulation” , a song that focuses heavy on deep basslines while having the hair lifting atmosphere that simulates traveling through time itself. Now it’s time to take a further dive as to what makes this release what we like to call , a certified bop.

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

–

SONOROUS: The impact that I wish to have on the scene in 1-2 years is to just bring more people together with my music and to create a feeling of cohesion or social connectedness. I also hope to inspire other underground female artists to be more confident in their project and or inspire others to explore deeper into the realm of bass music.

–

BASSFACE: I aim to make positive changes in the scene that are talked about my many, but acted upon by few. Inclusivity and giving power back to the artist is the goal. Always striving to find the hidden talent that’s been overlooked for too long. 

–

2. 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 have done differently?

–

SONOROUS: I think that I would go back and tell myself to have more trust and faith in myself. When starting my project, I was hesitant on whether or not this was right for me and I would always worry about what others thought of my music. With such a daring and vulnerable career path it’s important to have the utmost faith in yourself and your project. 

–

BASSFACE: I actually say this quite frequently. If there’s one thing I would do differently in my career writing music, it would simply be to have started sooner. 

Wakaan’s favorite space reptile, AstroLizard, is back to take us on another journey through the cosmos with their newest masterpiece, “Lizard Funk Symphony”. This track will get you up on your feet from start to finish with the new funky fresh feel unique to that of other songs produced by this intergalactic artist. Definitely take time to get blasted into a new dimension with this premiere, because trust me there’s no coming back to reality after you do. Let’s take a further dive as to what makes this groovy interstellar stomper what we like to consider, a certified bop.

“I’ve only been on this planet for a year and have been listening to a lot of reggae.

“Lizard Funk Symphony” is me wanting to create something unique. My first offering in the human year of 2022!”

Q1: Who/what are the biggest inspirations in the music you create today?

–

Tipper is the biggest inspiration for this old lizard’s music creation.

–

Q2: What would you tell your younger self today knowing where you’re at now and what it took to get there? 

–

I would tell my younger lizard self to be more humble and aware of issues because it takes humility and kindness to manifest support and community around your passions.

Love is in the air with Super Future’s newest EP, “Goddess”! This three track certified heater dedicated to his wife Ellie, gives us a personal glimpse of what it feels like to be in love through this skillfully crafted auditory experience. Our premiere track for today, “3XTACY” creates a feeling of exactly what the song title states, pure ecstasy in the form of bass music. This entire EP is an absolute emotional journey in its purest form and not one you should be sleeping on! Let’s take a further dive as to what makes this total vibe of an EP what we like to consider, a certified bop.

“3XTACY”, the bassy counterpart of this EP, is about the pure feeling of ecstasy that a perfect pair feels, caught in the moment of a beautiful and high-energy night. I love seeing other couples experience this as a bystander too.”

Q1: Who/what are the biggest inspirations in the music you create today?

–

My biggest inspirations today are the artists that know how to take listeners on a full adventure through bass and downtempo and everything in between. Those are the people that truly give me the range I want to hear to be fully emotionally engaged in music. Bonus points if they are actively doing more than touring to make the scene thrive on an inclusive and uplifting level. Of course at a minimum they better be wildly original and pushing boundaries of sound! That list of people includes artists like LSDREAM, CloZee, Liquid Stranger, G Jones, Minnesota, Troyboi, Tidye Ky, OTT, Wreckno. If you are curious about up and comers who I’m obsessed with at all… I’d say Mindset, Notlo, Molokai, Tripp St, Smoakland… man I’m probably forgetting tons but if I f*ck with you I’ve already let you know haha.

Q2: What would you tell your younger self today knowing where you’re at now and what it took to get there? 

–

Things I’d tell my younger self today is honestly exactly what I teach students in Producer Dojo… all the mistakes I’ve made that are turned around into tactful positives. The main thing I’d really want myself to know is not to be afraid to express the soulful and emotional music that was buried deep down because I didn’t think it would land with the masses. Hype and bassy music does pack rooms, but the most real love I’ve ever received from a fan or friend has consistently been because of my downtempo and emotional music. The stuff I’ve released with Sskwan and otherwise is saving people’s lives. That is a direct quote from various listeners. Nothing can matter more than helping other people through art and whatever talents you possess. Younger me and younger artists… don’t be afraid to share your REAL emotional side. People are ready and waiting
