Rising to the forefront of the elecetronic bass scene, there seems to be a number of artists trying to gain their time in the spotlight. One of these incredible artists making waves right now is none other than bass producer extraordinaire, SAGZ, who has come out swinging with the release of his latest track, “Blubber”. This track is not one to sleep on with its bouncing bass lines, vibrant wubby synths, and infectious melodies. This track is a stomper from start to finish, captivating listeners from the very first measure. We are definitely going to be blasting this one for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Blubber”, a certified bop.

“Blubber is one of my favorite tracks I’ve ever made because of the textures that layers the bassline. When I started the song, the flow just came to me and the song wrote itself. The inspiration came from when I heard a track from Dave Tipper, when he performed at Tipper and Friends.”

Diving Deep w/ SAGZ

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

I played piano on and off most of my life starting at the age of 7. I was in choir for 4 years of high school including an acapella group. Music has always been my getaway. Electric Forest 2016, watching Ganja White Night play really inspired me to become a producer/ DJ. 

2. You definitely have a very unique name for your project. Does the name have a specific meaning or derived from something in your life? Is there a story fans might not know about how you came to this name for your project?

My Korean name is Sangmin Lee. From that, SAGZ became a nickname.

 3. You live, breathe and eat bass music. Do you listen to anything else when you are away from everything? What would your top 5 non bass artists be? Top 5 bass artists?

I mostly listen to bass music in my free time. I sometimes take breaks from producing bass music and produce hip hop because it helps me not to overthink and keep it simple. I listen to hip hop and my top favorite artists include Lil Baby, Shoreline Mafia, Mac Miller, Rae Sremmurd, 21 Savage.Top bass artists include Tipper, Vctre, Molokai, Resonant Language, Vide

4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

Biggest lesson I have learned is to not overthink in production. Simplicity is key. Don’t make music for money. Making music is not a competition and to remember everyone has their own journey.
