Chicago, it’s time to stand tall and proud as you are being represented at the highest of levels in bass music by an artist named Ian Snow. Today we get a glimpse at the greatness that awaits us off his forthcoming Edge Of Infinity EP . A true testament to what it’s like to be taken on an auditory journey through space and time, due to the intense melody & basslines he’s well known for. It’s thanks to this that we get the honor of premiering his latest single titled, “Hyper Sequence”, a project that gives insight into his sonic evolution in sound design. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to what makes this track what we like to call, a certified bop!
“A lot of my songs don’t have a message. Or rather, the message is that the music is simply an emanation of myself. However, Hyper Sequence is different. It’s about taking advantage of spending time and cherishing the memories made with the ones you love because it can all be over too soon.” – IAN SNOW
DIVING DEEP W/ IAN SNOW
Your new track “Hyper Sequence” really embraces the duality of not only life, but also struggling with death and loss. What kind of emotions are you feeling as you create a track like this one?

When I stumbled across a video of this poem, it gave me chills. I’d never heard death/loss/life discussed so eloquently in an art form before, so I knew I wanted to create something around it. There were a lot of feelings of nostalgia while writing this song – thinking about the people I’ve had the most fun with, especially throughout my music career with going to shows, festivals, etc. However, I also very much thought about the people I’ve lost. It was nice to work on something that brought back all those memories, and I’m glad I can kind of subtly dedicate this song to all those people.

This track is a single from your upcoming EP, Edge of Infinity. What can fans expect from the rest of this body of work?
–
A lot of twists and turns. I try to make my music a roller coaster, sometimes bringing the heaviest drops just as things become the most soothing and silent. The EP is a great sample for what’s to come the rest of this year

As a Chicago native, how did growing your bass music career in a city that is labeled as the birthplace of house music affect your development?
–
House music plays a big role in my life. I started out producing house music under my old alias. It’s what most of my friends listen to, so I end up at house shows probably more than bass when I’m not playing. In regards to my career development now, I wish there were more regular bass shows, and I admire the industry people I know around the city working to even out the playing field a little more.

What is something Ian Snow fans can be excited for in 2024?
–
I felt like 2023 was when I breached the surface in the community. I got to know a lot of producers working in similar genres, gained some loyal fans, played a few shows, etc. 2024 is when my team and I solidify the brand and start to show people the result of all the hard work behind the scenes.
