May 2, 2018 By AJ Salvatore

This week for Powerful Picks we have a serious amount of bass packed into one killer playlist. This edition definitely goes out to the dubstep fans out there! Kick back, crank the speakers, and get ready for our hand-crafted selection – this is Powerful Picks.

PhaseOne, YOOKiE – State Of Emergency

Kicking us off is PhaseOne and YOOKie declaring a “State Of Emergency”. You’ll be thrown into a dark world of insane wubs and heavy wobbles with this heater. It’s nothing less than you’d expect from the two bass legends!

Gentlemens Club – Want U

Next up, we have everyone’s favorite bass trio Gentlemens Club with their latest release “Want U”. With the track having the official approval of Borgore and coming out on his label Buygore, you know it’s going to be a heavy one! So make sure to stretch your necks and get this one cranked up.

Benda – Overload

You may have seen Benda lately if you’re a fan of Borgore, as this young kid is quickly rising up as his prodigy with their recent collab. “Overload” is his latest track to showcase with Insomniac Events (the creators of EDC) giving him an official release on their Discovery Project. With his solid production and mature mixes, the Israeli artist will surely become a common name in the bass scene soon.

Thoreau – Escape Plan

If you’re a fan of Thoreau then you know that a new release means more addicting future bass hits. His latest tune “Escape Plan” is one that comes loaded with a farewell to dance music, as he has decided to move on to pursue a career in a new genre. “It might sound like Thoreau is singing about a girl he’s not really into and looking to get away from, but replace “girl” with “EDM,” and knowing his intention to move from dance music to hip-hop, and it becomes a different song entirely.”

Antiserum – On The Edge (feat. Bok Nero)

Out now is “On The Edge” from Antiserum on the imprint Round Table from bass powerhouse label Disciple. You can find some aggressive bass lines and hard hitting percussions packed into this track alongside tight synth work. With Bok Nero laying down hip-hop vocals, this will quickly become a staple for performances around the globe.

Volt – Let’s Go

Get ready for Volt’s first original release “Let’s Go” as he gears up for his tour with Slushii! This high-energy tune will get any crowd rowdy and ready to fight with its non-stop spirit. You can also find a double-time drop that will surely flip any stage upside down with the metallic synth top line.

KTRL – Twisted EP

Circus Records is home to some top-notch bass release and KTRL’s Twisted EP is nothing short of Circus quality. With four tunes that differ just enough to stand apart, but are close in sound to be tied together you won’t need any other artist to help kickstart your pregame. Make sure to throw this album on and let it play out from beginning to end for maximum enjoyment!

Brohug – Sinner EP

Bass house fans rejoice, this EP is one for you! Everyone’s favorite Swedish trio Brohug is here to deliver a refreshing take on house music with two new addicting tunes. “Sinner” and “Saints” presents a gritty take on the classic four-on-the-floor sound and runs it into a must-listen-to album, so check it out now!
