Frantik Breaks All Necks w/ New EP “Cult Of The Hand” via Cyclops Recordings

by | Jul 12, 2024 | PREMIERE

Cultivating a heavy hitting dubstep sound complete with bone crushing bass lines and gnarly synths, FRANTIK is back at it and better than ever as he unveils his new 3 track EP, “Cult of the Hand”. Serving as an introduction into his new sound, FRANTIK has truly captured the essence of his project within each of these tracks. Today, we have the absolute pleasure of premiering the title track, “Cult of the Hand” and boy, this track is a real treat. There is no doubt that we are going to hear their track being rinsed out across festival stages far and wide. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling the entire “Cult of the Hand” EP, a certified bop

I’m excited to share my new EP ‘Cult of the Hand’ via Cyclops Recordings. This EP represents some of my favorite songs from the past year, and I’m thrilled to unveil a new chapter of my sound and story through it. I hope you enjoy ‘Cult of the Hand’ as much as I do. -FRANTIK

DIVING DEEP W/ FRANTIK

1. What’s the strangest or most unexpected sound you’ve sampled in a track before?
I like to get creative with sound design. I do a lot of sample manipulation and have used tons of unique recordings as source audio for my sound design. I’ve used dog barks, bird calls, car alarms, machinery, and other foley sounds to create basses in past tracks.
2. How do you keep your sets fresh and exciting for both yourself and your audience? 
I prefer to play mostly originals in my sets. It’s always interesting to see which new IDs resonate best with the audience. A majority of my catalog is unreleased, so every show will feature dozens of tracks that nobody has ever heard before.
3. How do you stay inspired as an artist and avoid creative blocks?
I let inspiration come and go without trying to force things. I have long periods where ideas flow easily and I’m excited about the music I’m making. When I’m burnt out and not having as much fun, I take some time off and don’t stress about it.
4. If you could create a soundtrack for any movie or video game, which one would it be and why?

I’d love to do a soundtrack for a horror film. I have worked on some horror score projects for friends in the past, and it’s always really fun.

5. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received in the music industry?
Always send contracts as soon as possible after confirming a show booking. I’ve learned this the hard way through some frustrating experiences.
