Excision Shares List of Bass Music Heavyweights to Appear on Subsidia Records’ “Dusk: Volume 2”
Although most fans of bass music are still rehabilitating their necks after the copious amounts of head-banging inspired by Excision‘s last Subsidia Records release, the dubstep star is gearing up for another entry in his new label’s growing discography. Excision took to social media yesterday to unveil the second chapter in Subsidia’s Dusk series, which he called “wobbly, wonky and wonderful.” Featured on the upcoming compilation is music from Dion Timmer, Sam Lamar, Code: Pandorum, Notixx, YDG, and Excision himself, among others. You may remember that each component of Subsidia’s debut compilation—Dusk, Night, and Dawn—represents a different sector of bass music. Night is geared towards the heaviest releases, Dawn highlights a more melodic sound, and&n...
GLD Unveil Infectious Future Bass Ballad “Mad, Cause I’m Right”
Let’s be honest—no matter how much undying love you and your rave bae have for each other, you fight sometimes despite being closer than peanut butter and jelly. GLD‘s latest release, “Mad, Cause I’m Right,” isn’t for the couples that work things out, though. It’s for those that are no longer lovebirds. The track, which arrived by way of Flux Pavilion‘s Circus Records, has all the makings of a sad boy anthem with heartbreak-themed lyrics, aching future bass chord progressions, and an infectious hook. Mattie, one-half of GLD, vocalizes the all-too familiar-feeling of arguing in circles with your significant other and the heartbreak that ensues. The track’s vocals have a unique feel akin to a Juice WRLD ballad, tugging at t...
GLD and Grand Khai Join Forces for Future Bass Bop “I Loved You (Now I Have Trust Issues)”
After releasing a pair of thunderous bass tunes in recent weeks, “Judgement Day” and the GEO collab “Do It Like This,” electronic duo GLD have returned with a melodic number. Once again arriving on Flux Pavilion‘s Circus Records banner, the dubstep and trap twofer opted to swerve into the future bass alley, teaming up with gifted singer-songwriter Grand Khai for the poignant “I Loved You (Now I Have Trust Issues).” Eschewing their typical use of blistering bass elements and booming 808s, GLD produce bouncy basslines and distorted vocal chops for a bubbly future pop tune. “I Loved You (Now I Have Trust Issues)” isn’t the first time GLD have linked up with Khai, who featured on the duo’s summer 2019 single ...
GLD and GEO Join Forces for Raucous Rave Tune “Do It Like This”
Bass music duo GLD have teamed up with hardstyle producer GEO for “Do It Like This,” a raucous rave tune that arrived yesterday on New Noise, an imprint under the umbrella of Steve Aoki‘s Dim Mak Records. PSA: this single is not for the faint of heart. With its hyper-house backbone and laser-laden psytrance influences, “Do It Like This” is downright relentless. At a blistering 172 BPM, the single is a whirling centrifuge of vicious bass elements and kinetic sound design, both of which belong under the cavernous night sky of a bass music festival. GLD and GEO do a fine job with the break here, utilizing eerie arpeggios and marching snare patterns, which build and eventually culminate in a merciless second drop. However, the triad of talent go in ...
