by | Apr 6, 2023 | PREMIERE

With the amount of music circulating in the EDM scene, discovering new up and coming bass artists can be quite the task. As this never ending wave of fresh talent continues to hit the electronic community, one artist has continued to rise to the top of the pack, consistently putting out absolute heaters with each and every release. Bass wizard and heavy hitting extraordinaire, CHOMPPA has repeatedly shown out some stellar bass tracks, taking listeners by storm with every note. Today, we have the absolute pleasure of premiering “Synchronicity” off of his latest The System EP, which provides a heavy bass influence that is not to be missed. With tremendous high energy, booming bass lines and a catchy melody that will get anyone dancing, “Synchronicity” captures the iconic CHOMPPA sound in a new and exciting way. We will definitely have this track on repeat for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Synchronicity” and the rest of The System EP, a certified bop.

“This song was created at a time in my life when many moving parts were shifting directions, both positively and negatively. I wanted to capture the essence of everything coming together at the right time, hence the title “Sychronicity”, while maintaining the heavy bass-infused energy that can be heard in much of my other music.”

Diving Deep w/ CHOMPPA

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?

 I’ve been playing piano since I was 5 years old, so music has always been a major part of my life. I started producing in Garageband when I was around 12 or 13 making subpar trance/big room sketches, but everyone starts somewhere! Throughout middle/early high school I played lacrosse, but wasn’t great at it and my teammates definitely made sure to tell me. I think making music eventually became an escape from sports and the negativity that came from it. 

2. Being an artist in the spotlight, you have a continously 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?

My most meaningful fan interactions are almost always related to production. I’ve been making music for nearly 11 years, and have been through every up and down that comes with the process. Whenever people reach out to me or come up to me at shows saying they were inspired to start making music because of me, it warms my heart and brings me back to when I was first starting out; looking up to my favorite DJs and wanting to be on that same stage doing what I love. It still feels surreal every time I’m in front of a crowd and I’m so grateful for everyone who supports me or takes the time to chat with me after a show.

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?

 Once I sort of found my sound releasing under the name Midas, I was making lots of future bass/melodic stuff and sometimes listen to that style to reminisce about that time in my life. I’ve also been really into a lot of the darker rap stuff lately like $uicideboy$, Ghostemane, and REDZED and some hyperpop like 100 gecs, food house, and Alice Longyu Gao. My top 5 non-bass artists are hard because there’s so many I love, but I’ll narrow it down to Tom Misch, Glass Animals, REDZED, $uicideboy$, and FKJ. There’s also a ton of good bass music right now, my current top 5 artists are Criso, G Jones, CharlesTheFirst, VCTRE, and LYNY. 
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?

he biggest lesson I’ve learned, while a bit cliché, is so important: music is a marathon not a sprint. For years, I would compare myself to my peers and see how much music they were putting out and how quickly they were progressing, but at the end of the day that doesn’t matter. What matters is how satisfied you are with your art and if it makes you happy, the rest is an added bonus. A little healthy competition isn’t a bad thing, but when it impacts your own growth that’s a problem. My advice for aspiring producers is shoot your shot and RELEASE YOUR MUSIC!! Like many creative people, I’m somewhat of a perfectionist, but that constantly gets in the way of people actually hearing what I create. Building up a solid catalogue of unreleased music is important, but if you never share it with the world it’s virtually meaningless. Sharing it with your favorite artists can surprise you beyond your wildest dreams too, all it takes is one email.
