My biggest inspiration for writing music are my own experiences. That is usually the catalyst that pushes me to start a new track. Countless late night chats at shows, silly moments in my daily life, or special moments that I wish I could frame and hang on my wall. When I open up Ableton, I pretend I’m writing the soundtrack for a specific slice of life.

My creative choices for this EP were guided by a few key things. I wanted to combine two worlds I thoroughly enjoy…bass music and hip hop. That’s always something that gets me hyped. Another guiding creative force, is this dragon I’ve been chasing since 2016 when I first heard Kursa’s track, Pick Em Up. This tune, with it’s pounding hip hop drums, invokes a darkness I seek in left field music and tried to tap into with this EP. This tune was a staple in my sets for years as it was both something that usually perked a dancer’s attention, while also doubling as a DJ tool to dip into bass music or footwork. With trends in dance music coming and going, I remain obsessed with this combination. Lastly, I tried to create m a s s I v e baselines that would make teenage me bass face while yelling “ooooh” and gripping onto the rail at the front of any rave. As this started to shape into a full project, I decided I was not gonna hold myself to rigid deadlines and take my time to craft this album out until I felt satisfied with the end result.

One time, Rau and I were at a music festival and I hung my shoes under one of the stages. They stayed there throughout the weekend, safe and undisturbed. The photo of my shoes hanging there makes us giggle and we turned it into a missing poster for this EP. Inspired by a story we made up of a raver that fell in love with footwork so passionately that they had to take their shoes off due to how hot their feet felt while dancing, never to be seen again (the shoes).

HEXA - LIBRA (ALEX SLK REMIX) [FREE]

Next up on the Incurzion Audio release schedule is a massive 4 track EP from Rantik. For those that don't know, Rantik is a seriously talented up-and-coming producer from Newcastle with a strictly deep and technical focus to his productions. "Persona EP" is his latest masterpiece and is a true reflection of his diversity as a producer and the uncompromising quality he strives for.

"Fragment", a fast-paced technical track with continual vocal stabs maintaining the energy, and a drum roll which is unforgiving and really pushes the track forward. Don't be fooled however, the track is not strictly one dimensional as Rantik mixes it up completely on he second drop.

Up next is "Blood Loss" is deep and soulful with a lyrical element perfectly complimenting to the progressive synth heavy sound pervasive throughout the track. Extremely refined, we start strong and it's only up from here.

In contrast to the rest of the EP, "Phase One", a murderous and unapologetic monster of a tune with deep bellowing growls and a sound system testing bass line, overlain with powerful drums and many interesting sound design elements. This EP truly has it all.

To close the EP is "Mirrors" is a much more relaxed number that takes you on an emotional journey. Perfectly crafted, this track is a major compliment to the rest of the release and brings in another dimension that completes the EP.
