sumthin sumthin Makes Bassrush Debut With Versatile Two-Track EP, “Inhale”
sumthin sumthin has unveiled the second installment of his two-track Bassrush debut EP, Inhale. Released last month, the first of the two singles, “Speak,” saw sumthin sumthin take on drum & bass music in a scintillating and exploratory effort. In a press release shared with EDM.com, he detailed his sound design strategy for the single: “I’ve always been obsessed with designing noises to sound like they’re communicating with one another.” This cohesion is on full display throughout the entirety of “Speak,” as echoing voices whisper incoherently back and forth while a rapid bassline saws through a centrifuge of wobbly elements. Released today, the second half of the EP, “Inhale” features moments of delicate peace and clarity foll...
Kumarion Takes His Sound to the Next Level On Rumbling Drum & Bass Single, “Back Talk”
When talking about the future of bass music, the conversation can’t be had without mentioning Seattle’s Kumarion. His latest single “Back Talk,” out via Bassrush, is a clear demonstration of why. Much like his breakout hit “Want It,” “Back Talk” sets the tone for Kumarion’s project for the remainder of the year. From start to finish, the pace is unwavering, forcing erratic movement from eager listeners with its intoxicating flow. It’s one of his best tunes yet, utilizing crisp, pounding percussion as a bedrock to lay down the gnarliest bass he could cook up. Kumarion came out the gate hot in 2020, releasing “Want It” to critical acclaim. His success didn’t stop there, however, following with a monster 2021 that w...

Moore Kismet Pushes for Body Positivity With Latest Single, “Beauty Is A Facade”
Guess who’s back, back again? 15-year-old Moore Kismet has returned with their third release in just under two months, titled “Beauty Is A Facade.” The track, released by Bassrush, is an ode to body positivity and self-acceptance, blending trap with hard-hitting synths to make a single that is truly one-of-a-kind. “Beauty Is A Facade” starts off with subtlety, arranging wind chimes, vocal swells and a slow-growing percussion line to set a dreamy, mysterious mood. In classic Moore Kismet fashion, the single slowly progresses into a smashing trap drop full of whirring synths and thudnerous bass punches. It pulls in vocal samples, driving snares and dramatic transitions to place it stylistically right in line with its preceding release, “Drift&#...
