Dynamic duo and heavy-hitting bass artists, Dissolv, have made their way back into the spotlight with their highly anticipated new track ‘Running Deep” which showcases a different and heavier side of the project that listeners have yet to experience thus far. Continuing their legacy with our friends over at Gravitas Records, we have the esteemed pleasure of premiering this new look into the DIssolv project, which has breathed a breath of fresh air onto the bass scene as a whole. Featuring unique bouncy synths alongside heavy trappy and bass beats, “Running Deep” captures the perfect melodic sound many have come to love from this artist with a new and infectious twist. There is no doubt that this tune will get any dancefloor up and moving from the very first measure. We will definitely be blasting this one out for the foreseeable future! Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Running Deep”, a certified bop.

Running Deep showcases a heavier and saucy side of Dissolv, bringing out new levels of conscious bass. The track “runs it” with melodic trap featuring haunting vocals and heavy bass. Listeners will experience powerful waves of deep melody and energetic beats involving moments of nostalgia and dancefloor swagger.”

Diving Deep w/ Dissolv

1. When writing Running Deep, what inspirations of elements did you combine into making this heater of a track?

When writing Running Deep we were inspired to blend a deep nostalgic vocal melody with running hybrid trap drops to bring together the two faces of Dissolv and both brotherly sides. As brothers, we both have different backgrounds in music, Val coming from a more melodic, psybass and deep dubstep influence and Andre representing a more hyphy, trap and bass background. We also went with a more classic dubstep drum beat which opened up a lot of space for some hefty wobbles and sound design.

2. This is a heavier track than we have seen from your project in the past. Is this the new sound that we can expect from Dissolv or is this just another side to this incredible multifaceted project? 

We have been wanting to showcase a heavier side of Dissolv in our production that we have been foreshadowing in our recent live sets.  Dissolv will always maintain a multifaceted musical journey through our production, but this is the start to a new chapter of releases for high-energy, heavier bass music. That being said, we strive to continue to bridge the gap between live instrumental and conscious world bass with underground west coast bass culture. We are excited to share this other side of our project with you all!

3. Where do you see yourself and your project in the next 5 years? What are you currently doing to achieve this? 

In the next 5 years we will have evolved our live experience to dissolve the walls between studio production and live performance. Pushing culture that offers party and release in tandem with connection and consciousness. Touring full-time and carrying the torch for the movement that is steadily forming will continue to support and lift the community that we’ve grown with. We all have to keep running it and running deep. As artists, we all have roadblocks that happen in life making it hard to focus on music or be creative. It’s all about recognizing that this will happen and giving it our all, while finding balance and slowing down to enjoy the journey and where we are at. It’s just a matter of time before hard work pays off, and realizing what the why is and never losing sight!

4. What is up next for the Dissolv project? What are you planning for the near future that fans have to look forward to?

We are planning to have a full length album ready for release by the end of the year showcasing our new sound and featuring collaborations with some amazing artists in our community that are on a similar path. There is an exciting announcement coming soon in regards to a new agency who we are working with to create our biggest tour yet with this release! Catch us this month at a new venue in the Redwoods of our hometown, Santa Cruz! Big ups Headbang Society for the continued support of our project and community as a whole. Stay in tune fam!
