One of our favorite freeform bass labels is back again to showcase the newest addition to their already incredibly stacked roster of talented artists. Australian producer, Tek Genesis, makes his WAKAAN debut today with his absolutely insane genre-fluid EP “Sapphire Channel”. Each of these three tracks showcases a different style, all pulled together cohesively to mark different parts of this artist’s sound journey throughout his music career. Our premiere today “Velocity” is an absolute stomper filled with heavy hitting bassline and fluctuating tempos that create an incredible cybernetic soundscape that leaves the ear wanting more. We have no doubt that Tek Genesis came out swinging with this debut, and are excited to see more from him as he continues to grow with the WAKAAN family. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Velocity” and the rest of the “Sapphire Channel” EP, a certified bop.
‘The Sapphire Channel EP was a project in which I wanted to showcase an expansion of my music production. All the tracks were written over a long course of different periods of my life which showcase various and unique states of thinking. I wrote all of these tracks by myself whilst spending a lot of time in isolation in 2021’ – Tek Genesis

Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what’s your game plan to get there currently?
I’d like to see myself really contributing to switching up the format when it comes to bass music. Also hopefully playing shows overseas! Plan to get there is to keep making music the way I’m doing it and reformatting the process!
Who/what are the biggest inspirations in the music you create today?
In terms of what inspires me I get lots of inspiration from entertainment media (particularly video games & anime). There’s a meticulous level of sound design that goes into these and I admire them for it, I think you can learn a lot from them and apply it to your own production. other artists that inspire me include Leotrix, Echidna, Dossyx, Lunnari, Soulez, JG Dubz and SYZY. All these producers put out amazing music
