BONNIE X CLYDE, PURGE – TORN
Hitting the ground running this week are two bass duos making huge waves right now. BONNIE X CLYDE & PURGE have teamed up to deliver the dark, vocal heavy tune “Torn” to help tear up the dance floor and shake it up. This track with a different vibe and gloomy atmosphere will throw you into an underlit world.
Delta Heavy x Dirty Audio – Stay (ft. HOLLY)
Kicking things up a few BPM’s is Delta Heavy & Dirty Audio with their latest release on the powerhouse label Monstercat. This beast of a track showcases a quintessential drumstep production that will quickly become a staple in high-energy sets. With its heavy synth work and crisp sounds, “Stay” is sure to become a familiar tune.
JVST SAY YES – I Just Wanna Dance
Dim Mak is one label known for bringing the party with every release and you shouldn’t expect anything less from JVST SAY YES. “I Just Wanna Dance” is a bass house track that will get things moving while laying down a four-on-the-floor beat. With the producer being from Bristol in the United Kingdom, house is one genre that has clearly been engrained into him. Of course, it wouldn’t be a a good time without quirky, yet comical vocals thrown in!
WOLFE – Drop It
Lowly Palace artist WOLFE, aka Daniel S. is back yet again with another catchy drop and is no stranger to collecting plays. “Drop It” is a hybrid hit that combines hip-hop vocals with a choppy chorus that will be impossible to sit still to. The second drop delivers a wave of satisfactory sound as the vocals align with the wobbles of refreshing synth work.
Godlands – Hit Em Like This
Australia is no stranger to female bass producers and Godlands is definitely one to keep on your radar. “Hit Em Like This” delivers a major dose of heavy drops and animated creativity. With each chorus differentiating itself from one another, yet holding a familiar vibe, you’ll be catching an RL Grime feel real quick.
Rorschach – The 13th EP
With Halloween right around the corner, Rorschach is one artist that is getting ready to welcome the sinister holiday right! The 13th is a three track EP that features unearthly production and pays homage to some of the most iconic and eerie legends. You can find creepy samples, frightening sounds and spine-tingling drops in this necessary holiday album on VOVIII.
