TYNAN and Ace Aura, two of bass music’s brightest rising talents, have teamed up to kick off 2021 in a stellar way with their new collaborative effort, “Stay.” Taking a tremendously forward-thinking approach to bass music, the duo employ elements of future bass, dubstep, and even breakbeat to create a riveting track with unrivaled energy. Bright supersaw synths float high above a glitched-out, grinding bass line, as futuristic arpeggios oscillate in spectacular fashion. A sound akin to a xylophone takes the spotlight in the breakdown section before breakbeat drums elevate the tension for the second drop. TYNAN and Ace Aura’s latest is an astounding melodic offering with bold and imaginative sound design, and plenty of high-energy bass work. It’s the perfect way for the producers and t...

TYNAN has quickly become one of the most innovative names in bass music. His sound design is unparalleled, crafting unsettling noises that drive crowds mad. With his latest release, he’s turned Kaskade and Skrillex‘s “Lick It” on its head. “Lick It” was first introduced to fans as an electro house party-starter back in 2011. TYNAN’s flip, however, is a complete rewrite. Staying true to the original melody, he’s cranked up the tempo and turned it into an unpredictable dubstep weapon. The first drop is business as usual with pounding kicks, sky-shattering synths, and heavily chopped vocals. The second drop, however, will have listeners jumping up and down to keep up with the madness. Without a doubt, this is a gem that we’ll be...
