There’s nothing better than discovering new and exciting music from up and coming artists in the bass scene. One of these rising stars gracing the world of electronic music is North Carolina bass producer, Echo Drone. Proving his immense production talent with his latest release, “Fly”, Echo Drone has created an absolute monster of a track that is not to be missed. With its heavy hitting bass line and wompy synths, this tune packs an absolute punch from start to finish. This is definitely a track that you are going to have blasting for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling this stomper, “Fly”, a certified bop.

Normally known for his heavy-hitting dubstep, Echo Drone’s new single ‘Fly’ introduces us to his side of the ever growing freeform bass music genre. This anthem of a track immediately pulls you in with gangster vocals and a catchy, earworm of a beat. Then, the drop builds up and kicks in “fly on the scene” with a minimalistic yet hard-hitting drop that is sure to create a crowd reaction at any show and festival.”

Diving Deep w/ Echo Drone

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?

Well, I have a pretty extensive background in music; I have played the piano since four years old (still do to this day!), played the clarinet in my high school band, and my uncle even taught me how to play drums too! When I was young, around 11 or so, I discovered Monstercat and became pretty much immediately obsessed. It led me down an electronic music rabbit hole until eventually I decided I wanted to try and make it myself. So, with the help of my parents, I bought FL Studio and dedicated myself to learning music production for years (it literally consumed my entire life throughout middle school and high school, and still does to this day LOL). So, with my quick love interest with music production and the music industry as a whole, needless to say I pursued it by all means necessary. Now, I’m 20 years old running a music label and an agency out of my passion of promoting dope music, and making music all of the time and overall just having a great time with it! 

2. You definitely have a very unique name for your project. Does the name have a specific meaning or derived from something in your life? Is there a story fans might not know about how you came to this name for your project?

A lot of people have speculated that my name is a Rainbow Six Siege reference, but unfortunately I’ve never played the game and didn’t purposefully reference anything haha! There’s not really a special story behind the name though! My friends and I were in a Discord call brainstorming names and we just put a bunch of words together until we came up with something cool. We all collectively agreed that Echo Drone sounded cool, so I ran that name. That’s honestly the whole story haha.

3. If you had the chance to collaborate with any artist of your choosing, who would it be and why would you choose them?

I have lots of collaborations that I want to do because there are a lot of insanely talented people out there. However, I think one of my biggest goals would have to be Subtronics. His production is just absolutely insane and he always knows how to make music that just receives a reaction haha. He’s a super dope producer and human being and I would love to be able to work on anything with him!

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?

This is a big one that I’m still trying to fully grasp myself: comparison is the killer of confidence. Always. It’s great to reference other tracks to learn how to produce, but if you are constantly comparing yourself, your music, and your journey to other people’s, then you will never view yourself as good enough and will always hold yourself back. Be confident in yourself, but remain humble in what you do, and with persistence, you will never fail to live out your dream.
