Able8 A.K.A RaptorHandz

ARMADA SOUNDS is the given name to a series of compilations presented by the booking agency and record label BLDSMX. This series was founded in early 2020, with the purpose of interacting with artists who are within the international underground music scene, which are joined by a deep and universal web of soundscapes and connections. This project is a product generated through effort and dedication to the bass music scene, and the avant-garde electronic sounds in the constantly evolving and hybridizing rhythms of 140-170 BPMs such as Juke/Footwork, Dubstep, D&B, Jungle, Halftime, and more
·
This project was born from the thirst of creators, DJs and producers Alan Flores ‘Vinil Motion’, Pil ‘Deeplinkin’, and most recent addition to the crew Felipe Jardel ‘Aiokai’, with the devotion and passion for low frequencies, repetitive drums, half times and the energetic rhythms mentioned. This great collaboration within the BLDSMX team has, as a purpose, connecting with the inmost parts of listeners and producers alike, to make this deep and universal web as tangible as possible

RaptorHandz & Danky - Thunder Walk

Premiering "Octane" by Hi Trax taken from "Enter the Food Chain" EP out on 5th November via Scratches Records digitally and on limited pink vinyl

HI TRAX serve up a unique blend of UK/Australian eclectic bass. Comprised of producer RaptorHandz (A.K.A Able8), Joe Snow (Defenders Of Style, UK) and Hilltop Hoods APRA grant recipient Sinks, their sophomore EP release "Enter The Food Chain" pays homage to Hip-Hop, Grime and Dubstep, seemlessly combining these influences to create their infectiously individual style of up-tempo, bass-heavy electronica.

Danky - Depth (RaptorHandz Remix)

Fax Error is the new collaborative track from @Tobacco-Rat x @RaptorHandz 

Started in 2017 the synth-driven crusher is the first of many collaborative tracks in the pipeline from the pair. A heavy sonic blend of hand-recorded foley, squelching Moog Voyager, glitched-out Amen Breaks and found sound layering, the track was mostly completed in an afternoon; with post-production polish added over the following months, the glacial pace of creation is masked by the track’s neck break adrenaline rush vibe.

Fax Error drops on World Rat Day (Thursday, April 4th) digitally through Uncomfortable Beats.
