Akriza & Māh Ze Tār’s full collaborative album is out on Gravitas Recordings July 21st after three stand out singles and a journey through ancient sound.  These two artists worked together to blend ancient traditional music of the East with the newest sounds of the underground bass music scene.  Showcasing both their sounds in an exciting new way, this release is a true piece of art and history of ancient cultures.  Both artists have been heavily in the bass scene with their touring and production, and this album is something special and the first collaboration between these two.

“We're bringing ancient traditional music of the East in harmony with ground-breaking production of the modern-age. This music is very much fusing the ancient with the modern.” - Māh Ze Tār

Invocation opens the album with an epic ancient harmony of voices, bringing in nature sounds and unreal live strings from the talented Mah Ze Tar.  No drums or bass, just an epic build that seamlessly blends into the next track.  A Call To Sama continues from the intro track while bringing in deep bass, enchanting vocals and a minimal drum beat to start the flow of the album.  An epic build into the second drop which incorporates heavy bass growls and a fusion of the ancient sounds and modern day bass music.  Better Start Praying brings the energy even higher with enchanting easter flute sounds and a heavier beat that you can’t help but move to.  It follows the same concept as the previous track, adding in dirtier bass growls and traditional bass music sounds in the last drop.  Indra’s Dream combines these styles and immediately showcases a blend of synthesized ancient sounds with the traditional elements found in the culture.  Cosmic Odissi builds with tribal rhythms and live string instruments following similar sounds of their previous releases, dropping into a massive kick pattern and 808 hits to get the body moving.  Large bass growls enter and transform the track into a heavy hitting trappy beat that you can’t help but move to.  This Is Raga brings down the energy into a beautiful interlude of ancient singing and faint strings in the background.  It begins and ends with a vinyl start and end effect, almost as if receiving this transmission to take a break from this new sound and showcase the roots of the culture.  Where You Are, Now flips this style showcased in the previous track into a huge world bass track that is the perfect title track of the album.  It opens with psychedelic sounds of the Sitar and live string instruments that immediately put the listener in a trance, making for an epic build that drops into a perfect bass heavy rhythm that you can’t help but move too.  They continue incorporating the original instruments in a flawless way while still pushing the heavier sound design and booming bass.  Epirus opens with beautiful string instruments and quickly expands into a catchy beat and immersive instruments that almost feel like a full band performing.  Vocal chants come in and transport the listener into a tribal ritual with endless ear candy and perfect flow.  Just when you think it is over, it breaks down into the original strings and slams in massive growls and transforms this enchanting tribal beat into a massive drop.  Eternal Healer closes the album with the heavy hitting bass they have been showcasing, but at a slower speed and perfectly teleports the listeners into a state of peace.  The ancient sounds shine through in breakdowns and is a final journey through their blend of past and present.

All of these tracks feel like a call & response with the ancient cultures and modern electronic bass music style that we know so well.  Each track goes on its own journey through both styles and seamlessly blends together for a special kind of listening experience.

Where You Are, Now

Akriza & Mah Ze Tar - Epirus

Betrayal

Night Wind

Yo this is a track i made. Hope you like it.

Solitude

Bad Pipes closes the Pitch Black EP with a plunge straight into sonic madness. Heavy, lurching 2-step drums set an unsteady pulse as warped textures crack open the mix, dragging you deeper into the dark. Beneath it all, a punishing 808 bassline hammers relentlessly, shaking the foundation with every hit. Minimal, brutal, and pitch-black in atmosphere, this track feels like a broken machine coming alive in the shadows and it does not let you escape.

This sunrise experience from @mantrah_bass starts low and slow at 70 BPM, transforms into a deep, yet heady space, dancing around 120-130 BPM, then the air clears with some high earth vibrations in the 80's and at 100 BPM, as the sun begins drastically begins illuminating the skies over "Kandi Mountain" :)
