Space Yacht Releases Debut Bass Music Compilation, “Big Bass Ting Vol. 1”
Consistently building a name for itself in the world of house music over the years, event promoter and newly formed record imprint Space Yacht has recently begun to branch beyond that genre and into the world of bass music. Today, Space Yacht released its first bass compilation, and it’s a rowdy one. Space Yacht’s Big Bass Ting Vol. 1 delivers big sounds in many different facets of bass music, including riddim, tearout dubstep, and leftfield bass. With ten fresh tracks from some impressive rising talent, Big Bass Ting Vol. 1 is a massive foray into the low end of the frequency spectrum for the label. NAZAAR serves up a relentless banger called “Kandahar” to kick things off, and it doesn’t slow down from there. Blurrd Vzn’s “Money Bag̶...

Listen to Marshmello and Subtronics’ Relentless Dubstep Banger, “House Party”
After the release of Marshmello‘s latest single, it’s safe to say his return to EDM is official. Mello, whose affinity for pop and hip-hop in recent years has been a topic of consternation among his fanbase, has teamed up with Subtronics for a dubstep smash called “House Party.” The track arrives one day ahead of the masked dance music superstar’s new album Shockwave. Fans will be thrilled to hear a signature Subtronics banger, rife with the idiosyncratic yet heavy-hitting sound design that has propelled him to become one of dubstep’s most revered artists.

Getter Brings Diverse Sonic Palette Under One Roof With “Some Creatures” EP
Some Creatures, Getter‘s brand new 6-track offering, is finally here. It was immediately evident Getter came to make a statement on this project with the release of “BLOOD HARVEST,” which sees the convergence of his distinct production and vocals from his alter alias, Terror Reid. It’s the first time we’ve seen Getter merge these two creative paths and the crossover goes over with smooth execution. Getter still leaves plenty of room for wonky synths and bass that will blow the doors off, both on the titular track and its rapid-fire follow up, “With No Eyes.” Things take another turn, however, with “From The Dirt,” a multi-genre track with grungy bass, rock distortion, and rugged hip-hop hi-hats. The cut makes for an inte...
The First Single Off Getter’s Hotly Anticipated EP Has Arrived: Listen to “BLOOD HARVEST”
Following the cryptic morse code announcement of an upcoming EP called SOME CREATURE, Getter has now unveiled his hotly anticipated record’s lead single, “BLOOD HARVEST.” Kicking off with brass fanfare, “BLOOD HARVEST” is a headbanger’s dream, comprised of heavily resonating bass, meticulously layered vocal samples and angsty energy. Fresh and powerful, its innovative sound design is right in line with the wobbly nature of NAPALM, which—according to an exclusive October 2020 interview with EDM.com—is a direct result of Getter’s commitment to making music purely for himself. Out May 27th, the track is part of a project that he previously promised would blow NAPALM, its preceding EP, “out of the water.”...

Excision and UBUR go on to unload a ferocious first drop, expertly interpolat...

Trampa’s Roaring Debut Album “Disrespect” Has Arrived: Listen
After kickstarting the Never Say Die: Black Label sister imprint with his Consciousness EP in 2015 and closing that imprint’s chapter out with his single “Sick Head,” bass music heavyweight Trampa has already built an impressive career over the last decade. Now, Trampa’s debut album has arrived on the newly reformed Never Say Die, and it is undoubtedly the producer’s best work yet. Trampa’s first full-length, Disrespect, is full of the riddim-tinged sounds listeners have come to know and love from the musician, but the album expands far beyond genre expectations and into tracks that draw influence from jungle, drum & bass, UK garage, drill, and even breakbeat. Previously released singles “Sick Head,” “Your Luv,” and the ...
