Calling all bassheads and drop enthusiasts, Mexican producer Pyramyth has dropped his latest EP and it’s guaranteed to be your next obsession. Pharaoh covers the spectrum of feel-good tunes to grimy bangers, but one thing that remains constant on each track are energetic build-ups and dirty bass drops. It’s textbook dubstep at its finest, but what gives Pyramyth an edge are his Mexican roots, which make subtle appearances throughout the EP. Check out the track breakdown below and then, as Pyramyth says on his Facebook, “get the fuck out and dance to some music.”
1. “Pharaoh”
A fitting start to the EP, title track “Pharaoh” is an upbeat glitch-hop tune featuring melodic synths over heavy bass. Opening synths are reminiscent of old school 16 bit video game soundtracks, driving up your energy up for the imminent drop, which lands with a bang. Perhaps the EP’s most feel-good track, “Pharaoh” invigorates the listener with teasing builds and satisfying drops.
2. “Gravity Gun”
If you like Skrillex, chances are you’ll probably like “Gravity Gun,” one of the grittier tracks on Pyramyth’s EP. Introducing a much darker vibe with creepy bass and sci-fi inspired synths, “Gravity Gun” shows Pyramyth’s versatility of sound. Clever arrangement of tracks on Pharaoh keeps you on your toes, this particular track catering to those who prefer the darker side of dubstep.
3. “Taco Bass”
Opening with chopped Spanish vocals, “Taco Bass” is an aptly named banger with crescendo synths and substantial bass. His most popular track to date, “Taco Bass” has a club-ready, big room feel, perfect for any rave. In this taco analogy, the bass is definitely the meat.
4. “Miami Borderline Syndrome”
Closing the EP is “Miami Borderline Syndrome,” the most melodic and organized track on Pharaoh. An obvious hip-hop influence shines through on the track, framed by dance-inspiring drops and digital synths. With “Miami Borderline Syndrome,” Pyramyth draws from the influence of several genres to produce a groovy melodious banger.
