It seems like there is never a shortage of new and talented upcoming artists flowing out of the sunshine state nowadays, bringing forth some absolutely amazing music time and time again. Tampa artist, PLSMA, has been taking the scene by storm, pumping out some absolutely insane tracks and he is back at it again to bring us a heater of a debut EP, “Airwaves”, showcasing his unique dubstep style which is not one you should miss.  Today we have the pleasure of premiering “The Graves” the first tune off this five track stomper. This is the perfect homage to PLSMA’s heavy hitting drops and nasty wubby beats that continuously leaves us wanting more. We are sure that this one is going to be rinsed out all festival season long! Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “The Graves”, a certified bop.

“For years I’ve had the vision of releasing a debut EP that represented my sound as best as possible. The tracks are loaded with some of my personal favorites. Every track From ‘The Grave’ to ‘Mariachi’ were created with one goal in mind; HAVING FUN!”

  1. What has been the biggest difference you’ve noticed when first starting off as an artist vs now after experience playing events , doing releases etc?

 

There are several noticeable changes when evolving from fan to artist but just recently I was thinking of the back end power. Positions that handle tasks like site operations, spotify promo, and even day-to-day attention to multiple projects are often seen as non-existent to your every day raver. Once stepping into the business of music, I soon developed an appreciation for the ones keeping our peers safe and making everything possible for these projects to succeed and grow.

 

  1. What has been your favorite memory this far having been part of the EDM scene prior to successfully launching off as a reputable bass artist?

 

One memory I’ll never forget was back at Sunset Music Festival in the year 2015. My friends and I were about a year or 2 into the rave scene and I was sporting at least 11 merch items sold on Flosstradamus’ website at the time. I was sure to buy vip for this festival so i wouldnt miss a minute of their set due to the elevated platforms. Turns out my group knew every one of their songs and we collectively broke the vip rail, throwing us into the crowd where at least 20 other edm fans were there to pick us up and make sure we were ok. The all around respect for others in this scene kept me here. The adrenaline of those years fueled this addiction for writing music. Fast forward to this year; I’m honored to be performing on the same stage as this memory and look forward to seeing yall on Saturday May 28th 4-5pm at SMF in Tampa!
