We are back today with another look into some of the incredible talent that has come to the forefront of today’s bass scene. Jeanot Mey is one such individual who is known not only for his innovative sound, but also for intertwining his inspiration from the natural world into his own unique work. His newest track, “Going Under” does exactly this. Each second of this track provides a wave of emotions through different basslines, melodies and vocal samples creating an amazing flow that carries us through. This one definitely plays on your feelings in the best possible way, curating a tranquil and beautifully moving soundscape. Let’s take a dive into what makes today’s selection what we like to call, a certified bop.

“Going Under” is all about the feeling of being overwhelmed by emotions, when the pressure of the world feels like it’s too much. Writing tracks like this are my way of facing off with those feelings.
