“This release is extremely special because this is likely the last body of music that I will produce with my k9 companion Snoop Dog sitting beside me. Snoop dog has been in the studio for over 11 years when he was a puppy he would always lay right in front of the sub.”
This release has already seen support from the likes of ThisSongIsSick who featured it on their Alien Invasion Playlist here.
The EP also includes the tune ‘Alternate’, featuring a frequent collaborator with Kowta, namely, JLeon.
“What you do brings the beat back with a spicy twist.”
Headbang Society just premiered the title track from the new release and also did a short interview with tsou, asking about the origins of his sound and his influences as well as a bit more for us all to get to know him a little better.
Pretty much right after we got back masters and the tunes first got to some DJs, A.Fruit included one of the tunes on a mix she made and we knew these tunes would catch some heads.
In the European media side of things, Rendah Mag jumped on board and premiered Hold You Horses on this fun article.
We first met Frenquency at a show in Melbourne Australia, when both he and Dov1 were booked to play a night put on by Blendcorp and we were captivated by his infectious energy and flavorful and fun tunes that perfectly matched the flavor that we wanted at that exact moment. We’re honored to finally be releasing some of his original compositions.
On Aftermath get a few of his signature flavors, the Juke / Footwork inspired beats as well as some gritty halftime DnB tunes. The release kicks off with gentle pads, some melodic bells come in and the 808 slowly build until the tune drops into a footwork-jungle rolling groove, the vibe is warm and engaging. He then switches it up into a more gritty territory, with the tunes ‘UFO’s’ and ‘Hold Your Horses’ fusing halftime DnB and Bounce genres with some jungliest fills and bumping basslines. The vibes end on a high note as the EP rounds off by returning the the gentler side of things with a beautifully crafted tune, riding those 160BPM 808 beats and augmenting them with sweet vocal chops and softer synths.
Willdabeast has certainly been making their mark on the music scene this year, their recent singles and album release on Muti Music has been incredibly well received with playlist features on many profiles including the likes of; ThisSongIsSick, Noiseporn, ElectricHawke, Bass Face by Kraddy, EDM.com, Defunk’s Dirty Funky Bass Music playlists … and many more. Blog features include Headbang Society twice (link1 & link 2) , Surviving The Golden Age, even a French blog, Infomusic.fr and others.
and we love this feature on Cascadia Daily News probably the most because of their intimate knowledge of the band and the great way they write about them.
An-ten-nae‘s latest single is Underground ft. High Tara, released on our sister label, Medicine.
Over the past few years An-ten-nae has delved deep into the deepest sides of 140 Dubstep / Deepstep, while simultaneously holding onto his signature brand of acid crunk / acid driven bass music. On his most recent release, we hear that evolution in full bloom, the baselines are warm and heavy, there are plenty of wobbly wubs, some great vocals and acid lines and atmospheric sound design that develops into it’s own unique piece of treasure.
The tune has received over 120 000 streams in its first week online and we are absolutely overjoyed to see it featured on some of the largest playlists on Spotify, including Dance Hits, which is the largest Editorial playlist on Spotify for Dance Music. The Bass heavy playlist, Sub Low has also featured the tune and we are incredibly grateful to see a lot of people adding it to their collections and own playlists.
This tune is a single from An-ten-nae‘s forthcoming album , The Space Beneath The Light, which will be dropping everywhere on April 14 2023.
Nikes has been picking up quite a bot of attention with his latest EP, The Churchill.
The EP is a deep listening journey that moves between experimental Halftime and Trap influenced beats with strong atmospheric elements and beautifully jazzed up DnB & Liquid Drum & Bass tunes. The sound design and melodies create thick emotional moods that vary from deep and introspective to jazz influenced playfulness and then uplifting melodies that roll easily over flowing beats.
The DJ response on this one has been great and DNB Dojo featured the tune Wallup on their latest mix by DJ Hex, listen here.
Nikes will also be playing the Dislabel event on March 31 with a stacked lineup including The Librarian, LMajor, Anna Morgan, Liquid Giraffe, Nikes, Whys & Trinity Gia.
We are really stoked to see Cthulhu Basscraft featured on ThisSongIsSick and HeadbangSociety for his new release, Legends Never Die. Cthulhu Basscraft has always had quite a knack for large Reece basslines and deep subs, his latest outing has more of an Ivy Lab-esque sort of influence and he still manages to bring a good growl into it. It appears that this new direction has caught the ear of a few great Blogs and we are stoked to see it featured on ThisSongIsSick, who also said “…Cthulhu Basscraft, finds himself right in the apex of the hard-hitting bass scene…” and a whole lot of other great words about the release.
They also said “This track is a stomper from start to finish with its low, driving bassline and electric synths, entrancing listeners from the very first measure…”
We are incredibly happy to be working with a new venue and a great crew, to bring a new multi genre night to San Francisco nightlife. The aim is to bring the dance and fun into it, while still celebrating some cutting edge sounds and music that’s relatable in how danceable it is.
The first event is on Saturday January 28th 2023! Dov1 (Muti Music), DoctorSpook (Geomagnetic), Laron (Freakpusher) & Redhouse Keni (CCC) Presents:
