It is always so amazing to see artists set outside their comfort zones in production and create a track that captures their unique sound design and takes it to a whole new level. This is exactly what bass wizard Dank Frank has done with the release of his latest heavy hitter, “Hoverboard (I’ll Be Fine)”, that we have the absolute pleasure of premiering for you to do. With its catchy melody, driving bassline and floating vocals, this track combines beauty with some hard hitting drops to create the perfect juxtaposition of sound. There is no doubt that the Dank Frank project has created a banger that everyone is going to have on repeat for the foreseeable future due to its infectious tune and nasty drops! Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Hoverboard (I’ll Be Fine)”, a certified bop.

“Hoverboard (I’ll be fine) is a song I wrote while I was in a pretty low spot. It’s a track I made to remind myself that when times are rough, when everything is changing too fast, there is always a way forward and something to take you there. You might just have to get creative to find it. I designed the arrangement to take you on somewhat of a ride with its own lows and highs to reflect that journey.”

Diving Deep w/ Dank Frank

1. How did you decide to get into 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?

It’s hard to pin down a specific moment, but if I had to pick one, it was probably after I showed a few friends in middle school a song I made in GarageBand and got the biggest, most excited reaction I’ve ever seen. After that, it was over. Now I can’t stop, nor do I want to

2. It can be very hard sometimes to separate music from day-to-day life when it’s a huge part of your life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?

 

I always try to keep myself busy with other projects, be that woodworking, fishing, skiing, hiking or watching a good anime. It helps keep me grounded when I’m not in beep boop mode.

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

 

I’ve been skiing since the age of two, and I’ve actually won some big mountain freestyle competitions 

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?

Something I fend helps to consistently remind myself is that good sounds and arrangements aren’t always going to flow, and that’s fine. Its impossible to hit 100% all the time, so embrace the creative lulls. Do something you enjoy that has nothing to do with music for a while and be patient. But when that inspiration inevitably hits, capture every moment of it.
