Heater after heater, track after track there is no shortage of dubstep fire coming at the electronic music scene every single day. With so much incredible music to sort through, it can be a task to find new and upcoming artists to blast throughout the day. Never fear though because today we are absolutely siked to introduce the absolute dubstep lord, YAMI, who has released his latest heater “Acid Dropper”. Creating bone-crushing bass lines, heavy electrifying drops, and powerful melodies, this track has it all in terms of a festival banger that is sure to get rinsed out year-round. There is no shortage of dark, intense and infectious energy that will capture listeners from the very first measure and have everyone head-banging in no time at all. We will have this one on repeat for the foreseeable future for sure. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Acid Dropper”, a certified bop. 

“Acid dropper is a fun dark atmospheric heavy hitting tune. I was inspired to write a hybrid tune for a live setting that was heavy but minimal simultaneously. It was one of those tunes where the creative process flowed without too much overthinking. Expect more of the darker atmospheric elements in my upcoming tunes.”

Diving Deep w/ YAMI

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 grew up surrounded by music, my dad was a piano player and my parents always had music playing around me as a kid. I’ve always loved having music and playing instruments as a creative and emotional outlet. Once I learned about music production it opened up a whole other world for me. It was one of the few things in the world that sparked my interests that ended up becoming a passion of mine. Once that spark kept growing for me, and seeing the endless creativity, I knew music was my calling.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what’s your game plan to get there currently?

In five years the Yami project will be more than just music. The vision for Yami is to inspire others and build inclusivity. The project will be a diverse musical and visual experience and leave people feeling inspired to embrace their creativity. Currently I am working on singles and collabs with a variety of genres such as Bass, DNB and Wave that I am excited to release this year and build from. I am also working with visual artists and learning video production to continue building the Yami experience.

3. If there was one thing you could change for the betterment of society, what would it be and why?

If I could change anything it would be for society to look at creatives as they look at other professions. Creators, artists, musicians etc. are a huge foundation to life and deserve to be taken seriously. Art and music is around us everyday from ads, tvs shows to full blown galleries, productions, festivals etc. Some impact people in more ways than one.

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?

The biggest lesson I’ve learned since I started making music is to focus on yourself and your music and don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone’s on their own journey and everyone’s success is measured in different ways. Some words of wisdom for aspiring producers is to never give up and don’t be afraid to throw paint on the canvas. We all have to start somewhere and the only way we get better is by learning from our failures and moving forward.
