Vykhod Sily Podcast - Captivate Guest Mix

Captivate is a producer and DJ based on the ancestral lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. His music pushes bass-forward sounds with deep roots in the past, drawing from 90s UK rave music, Jamaican soundsystem culture, leftfield techno & ambient music. Unbound by genre, his DJ sets shapeshift between styles and tempos, instead focusing on mood, narrative, and rhythmic exploration. He has shared his craft at renowned festivals such as Bass Coast and Shambhala, and his music has garnered strong support from many of his influences, including Om Unit, J:Kenzo, and Doctor Jeep.

xlbb - Loosejaw / Melonboat [OMM018]


Ommaya Records

xlbb, the new project from Vancouver’s IHA and Captivate, comes ashore on Ommaya for a two-track excursion that distills the evolving textures of the Pacific Northwest. The A-side, “Loosejaw,” moves like a deep tide, heady and pressure-locked, threaded with the boundary-pushing bass style the West coast loves. Flip to the B-side and “Melonboat” splashes in as a rigid, mossy weapon, its patterns shifting and sliding until they find perfect lock.

Together, the tracks feel like a map of the region’s sound, damp and expansive and restless, a perfect A/B for the basements, forest raves, and shadowed coasts that give the Pacific Northwest its rain-soaked pulse.

Been ages since I've actually uploaded anything on my own Soundcloud (aside from yesterday's war dub), so I thought I'd drop my 2020 bass coast demo for you guys to bump while you're all stuck at home.
