Feelmonger Breaks Through The Spectrum w/ New Single “Ape Escape”

by | Apr 14, 2023 | PREMIERE

If you want to talk about artists who are quickly paving their way to the top of the charts, the name Feelmonger may come up and for good reason. There is a current fire in him that’s been burning strong now for the past 8 months with his ongoing release schedule. When you’re receiving constant support from the likes of Mersiv , Steller and others in live sets , stopping is the last thing you want to do. Mathew is now here to further show folks that there’s more to come with his newest 4 track ep titled “High Dive”. Today we have the honor of premiering the first single off the ep w/ APE ESCAPE , a gnarly drumstep track with lots of switch ups and break downs to keep folks glues to their speakers. Feelmonger will be dropping one single per weak leading up to the final full platform release date on May 5th so make sure you keep your eye for more. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive into the man behind it all and why we consider this track to be what we like to call , a certified bop.

“The concept of the EP is a continuation of the ideas behind Viva La Vibrant, my previous EP. Whereas VLV wants you to feel every emotion, High Dive wants you to chase that feeling you get at the edge of a diving board, the cliff, the plane you’re about to skydrive off of… Knowing that while it is kind of a leap of faith, but you also know that you’re gonna be okay at the end; it’s okay to embrace that feeling of adrenaline and excitement. Lose your mind and feel your body… that’s the point I think! So TLDR: it’s a collection of energetic, high tempo and high intensity dance floor heaters that are meant to represent just diving into whatever you do.”

Diving Deep w/ Feelmonger

1. In a perfect world , what do you wish to accomplish by pursuing the Feelmonger project as a whole?
–
Well on one end, I’d love to make music my full-time career. I would love to wake up and have nothing to do for the day except write music and spend time with my loved ones. That’s on the personal side of the FM project. On the other side, I would love to be able to impact lives starting at an individual level, maybe just helping somebody feel better for a few minutes. I’d love to foster empathy and a sense of community so in an ideal world the FM project would improve communities by improving individuals… something like that, I think

2. What keeps you motivated as an upcoming artist who’s already been producing in the scene for a while now?
–
I just have so many musical ideas in my head that it kills me not to be able to express… that’s why I keep on producing and trying to improve. Even though I’ve been producing for almost a decade, it’s still fun to me. I try not to compare myself to anybody else in terms of “success vs. time in the scene” or anything like that… I know everybody’s life  is different

3. If you could change something from the bass scene, what would it and why?
–
If I could change one thing… I would love for people to stop bashing other genres and fans of other genres that they don’t like. Music is soooo subjective and unique that it seems so silly to me to judge people for what they listen to. Friendly banter is okay but sometimes I think people can take it too far
