Maryland just reminded everyone they too have lots of star power in the making within the bass scene and it’s all thanks to a 3 track Ep called “Metamorphosis”. Watch out everyone, Austeria is here to finally make her mark that she belongs with the top dogs in bass music. If you haven’t heard about her yet don’t sweat it, the three tracks from this project will do all the talking for her. This Ep purposefully has no collaborations to further help showcase the vast arsenal of production talent that lies within the young producer and dj. Today we have the honor of premiering a single off the project called “Queen Of The Underworld”, which stands as a prophecy of times to come for Austeria. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to why this track is what we like to call, a certified bop.

I’ve always wanted to provide people with what I received from music my whole life – an escape from reality, a way to express your emotions. Listening to bass music and going to live dubstep events is a great release, I want people to feel that. Life can be stressful, it’s important to remember to have fun and enjoy yourself. 

If you miss the old trap era but are head first into today’s modern-day bass music takeover, boy do we have a special treat for you. That treat is no other than L*o*J x Capshun and their brand new collaborative project titled “Mercury”. Time to get stuck in a trance thanks to this masterful display of cinematic trap melodies infused with that heavy bass goodness that everyone can’t seem to get enough of. No need to envision what the future of electronic music may one day sound like , you have it right here right now thanks to these talented individuals consistently trying to create new ways to change the game. Time to take a deeper dive as to what makes this new premiere what we like to call, a certified bop.

Starting a new and bringing forth a fresh look to any part of life can be a cause for new and exciting development, growth, and change. This is exactly what is happening with up-and-coming heavy-hitting bass producer Venture 5. Formerly known to the masses as Opalyte, this new rebrand has caused Venture 5 to skyrocket into the eye of the EDM world, as he continues to take fans by storm with his high-energy bass bangers. This train to the top isn’t stopping any time soon as he brings forth his latest track “Focus”, which we have the absolute pleasure of premiering today. Combining a relentless heavy bassline with powerful energetic synths and an infectious melody, the raw energy that “Focus” brings to the table is unlike anything we have previously seen from this artist. There is no doubt that the future is bright for Venture 5 with the magnitude of the tracks he has been putting forth into the bass community. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling the absolute heater of a track, “Focus”, a certified bop.

“Focus is at its core a coming-of-age story, it sends a message of putting your best foot forward and diving into life’s raging sea.”

Diving Deep w/ Venture 5

1. Venture 5 is a whole new side to your musical career that people have been eating up from the very start. What does this new chapter as Venture 5 mean for you and for the music you produce? What new or fresh elements are you bringing to this new phase?

For me Venture 5 is all about telling the story I’ve always wanted to tell, its core message is to follow what drives you in life, face your fears and live a true adventure. The music is meant to carry this message and to uplift and inspire the listener to take things head-on and thrive. From a production side, you can expect an exceptionally diverse pallet of sound from future Venture 5 releases. With this project, I wanted to create something all-encompassing, not bound by genre or title. A truly genuine and honest expression of electronic music that’s meant to be the soundtrack to your next adventure. 

2. Focus is a supersonic storm of bass music unlike any other. What inspirations did you have when sitting down to produce this track?

Writing Focus was a very exciting process, when I started the track it was late spring and I knew I had to capture the energy of summer and all the emotions stirring up from the exciting June and July adventures ahead. So with the intention of writing a summer banger, I began working and by the end, I was very happy with how it came out. My main musical inspiration for this track was “Paradise” By Mersiv and Fryar, I feel that track captures the summer vibes incredibly well and I referenced it a few times while writing Focus. 

3. Where do you hope to see your project 5 years from now? What are you doing presently to turn this dream into a reality?

In five years, I aim to be taking the Venture 5 project to stages all over the U.S. and beyond. By that time I plan to be playing frequently at larger venues and festivals, especially Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison CO. I will also likely release at least two full-length albums under the Venture 5 moniker in the next five years. My main intention for the evolution of Venture 5 will always be to spread a message of positivity and motivation to be the best we can be. With the help of my amazing team at Mind Warp Mgmt, I am working every day to bring the Venture 5 project to its full potential, and I couldn’t be happier about what’s on the horizon.

4. What’s up next for Venture 5? What do you and your team have planned shortly that fans have to look forward to?

Joining forces to bring forth their new latin-inspired track “Dale”, Riot Ten and Jessica Audiffred have recently teamed up with BLVKSTN, a Los Angeles based rapper known for his metaphoric and self-reflective rhymes. Riot and Jessica both felt that BLVKSTN was the best person to start this absolute heater of a collab on the perfect note, creating a track that flows through genres seamlessly. “Dale” combines elements of rap, dubstep, riddim, and hard-hitting techno beats to create an eclectic track that brings a little bit of everything. Sure to be played out by headbangers and techno lovers alike, this track is one that is sure to hit home in both the American and Latin EDM scenes.

“I think we got inspired by all the Latinos out there always supporting us at festivals, tours, etc. We have such a beautiful community out there and Chris [RIOT TEN] and I wanted to make a banger for them in a way, and we felt like BLVKSTN vocals were amazing; he had such a clear vision of what he wanted to say. Also, BASSRUSH was the perfect fit for this release because it’s such a powerful song and we felt like it was going to be a perfect home for it.” -Riot Ten

As individuals, both artists have risen to the top of the dubstep scene over the past few years. Both have released tracks on Bassrush and heavily circulate the Insomniac festival scene, consistently debuting hard-hitting, crowd enticing tunes. Hailing from Mexico City, Audiffred has solidified her spot amongst some of dubsteps greatest, and is a force to be reckoned with. Each of her tracks hit harder than the last and she has truly given her all to perpetuating female influences on the bass music scene. Similarly, El Paso born Riot Ten has come out with some of the most well-known tunes within the scene with hit tracks like “Railbreaker” (ft. Rico Act), and “Fuck It” with Sullivan King. 

These front-runners in the bass music scene have never collaborated on a track before and releasing this track together is a moment of pride shared between each of them, making their newest release an extremely special one as they have known each other for quite some time now. Riot Ten feels that this track “was a long time coming, to say the least” and is thrilled to finally have a track out with Jessica. Along with playing alongside one another, both artists frequently release tracks on Bassrush Records, one of the most prominent bass music labels in the scene. “Dale” is their latest release on the Bassrush label, and we can’t wait to see what future bangers they collaborate on. Check out the Q/A with Riot Ten below to see why “Dale” is so special to these dominators of the dubstep scene.

Diving Deep w/ RIOT TEN

1. You and Jessica Audiffred joined forces on this collaboration to celebrate Mexican Heritage with “Dale”. Why was it important for you as an artist to highlight such an important idea through your music?

2. Writing music can be difficult by yourself let alone with two or more people involved. Did you face any challenges when writing this track together? If so, how did you overcome these challenges to create this piece?

We faced some challenges while working on the song together, but that’s just the nature of collaborating. There were some lyric differences as well as a few differing opinions on the sound design, but ultimately it came together for the big picture. Overall, however, it was a smooth process and I loved that Jess and I were finally able to work on something together. It was a long time coming. 

I hope the fans find it unique and inspiring – and of course my usual hope is that they find it hype!!!
