MORFLO Records has become the premiere bass label within the EDM scene, gaining a name as one of the biggest and most well-known names in Denver electronic music. Created by none other than bass wizard Mersiv himself, MORFLO has become a hub for all things bass, featuring a roster with artists such as Tape B, Spades, BroMosapien, AHEE, and more. As this label continues to gain traction, more and more talented artists continue to put out some absolute heat in conjunction with this amazing project.
Bringing forth a new type of dark energy, Veil’s newest spring anthem, “Ungodly Hour” is one of the latest heaters to come from MORFLO Records. Using her own unique dark twist, Veil has cultivated a track, unlike anything she has previously released, exemplifying her dark yet alluring soundscapes of electric freeform bass. Utilizing vocal cuts to cultivate an ominous and suspenseful tone, the sound design of this track directly transports listeners into an eerie nighttime setting adding to the already tense and deep vibes of the track.
“Ungodly Hour is here to remind us we are always being watched; surveilled. In this world, and from other unknown entities. During the darkest times of the night we can hear these voices the loudest.” – VEIL
With the release of this track, VEIL continues to awe listeners all over the world with her cataclysmic energy and sound. Her desire to take risks and start new trends has skyrocketed her to the top of the experimental bass scene, making her a top female artist in the world of electronic dance music. There is no doubt that this is an artist and a track you must not sleep on, as her music will transport you into a deep dark world many have not yet explored. Peek into VEIL’s mind with our exclusive Q&A below where we discuss her project, track inspiration, and why “Ungodly Hour” is definitely, a certified bop.
Diving Deep w/ VEIL
1. Why was “VEIL” the name you chose for your project? Does this project name have a significant meaning to something in your life?
I knew the feeling of the project before I knew the name. I knew how I wanted it to sound, look, portray, etc. but it took several months to find a moniker that felt perfect. When it hit me, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I wanted this project to be dark, mysterious, otherworldly, multi-univers-y, and the name perfectly encapsulates the eeries I wanted to bring to life.
2. What were your inspirations when you were writing “Ungodly Hour” for MORFLO Records?
I end up starting new projects late at night when I feel most creative and detached from my everyday reality. The vocals in the track came to me talking about the veil being thin from 3am – 4am, which is something I’ve always felt as well. It’s always been one of my favorite times of the night – the darkest and quietest (or loudest depending on where you are) time of the 24-hour cycle. I knew I wanted it to be dark and grudgy bass lines with a second drop that provided a bit of relief.
3. You have a number of festival dates coming up this year such as Deep Tropics, Lost Lands, and Hulaween. What do you do to prepare for bigger sets such as these? Do you have anything special planned for these upcoming festival sets?
No matter the size of the set, I typically have a similar preparation routine. I build a large crate of newer tracks and depending on the event, time slot, and artists playing before/after me I curate the crate down to about 100 or so. I like to play tracks that haven’t been heard before or maybe just dropped, as my main goal is the element of surprise in the audience. I If and when I can I like to bring 5/9 along for the live visual experience, but even if he cannot come the resident VJ’s will have the opportunity to rinse my new visual pack we’ve created for SURVEILLANCE. I absolutely cannot wait for the crowds to hear all the new music I’ve been working on and see all the visuals we’ve made to create the most entrancing VEIL experience yet.
4. What do you have planned for the Veil project? Is there anything upcoming that fans have to look forward to?
I have a lot of new music dropping in the next few months and cannot wait to get those out into the airwaves. I also have a few more large events I am absolutely thrilled to be playing that aren’t quite announced yet and on a tour in the winter that has me STOKED. Our whole VEIL visual team, 5/9 and Towr Media, is also accompanying me to the sold out Brooklyn Mirage with BTSM in July to perform on the most massive visual wall that exists. For us, that is going to be a huge highlight having the opportunity to share our art on that scale! Throughout the weekdays, we work so hard on merch, art, event, and visual concepts that I’m certain that we will be a nonstop push all through the summer!
