Revisit one of Desert Dwellers’ classic tunes in Cosmic Trigger’s retwist
of “Dub Sutras.” Opening with a brief ascent into mesmeric
soundscapes and organic beats, Cosmic Trigger flips Desert Dwellers’
mystical sounds on their head with a platter of tripped-out melodies,
sultry grooves, and mind-melting samples that lead the listener down a
captivating psychedelic journey. A feast for the senses, Cosmic Trigger
showcases modern psydub at its best while carving out a distinct path
for the next generation of musical visionaries.

Dub Sutras - Cosmic Trigger Remix - Desert Dwellers

Tribone joins Gravitas Recordings on May 30th with a dark psychedelic bass EP that shook us to the bone. This EP and Tribone’s production combines tribal elements with gritty bass grooves, uses organic percussions to accompany driven synthy melodies and maintains the dark and kicking stompi rhythms of his approach to psychedelic bass music. It still leaves room for natural sounds and other organic textures that inspire his music and sound design. From big drums to vocals and the animal world, this flawlessly brings together all kinds of atmospheres and foley for a unique style of bass music.

An Inch of Silence opens up the EP with this surreal tribal rhythms and forest soundscape, transporting the listener into a dark jungle. This long epic build peaks and drops into a heavy bass driven tribal groove that follows the same drums teased throughout the long build, accompanied by stabby synths and enchanting flute rhythms. Roar builds upon this previous energy, bringing in actual animal roars and getting straight to business with heavy wubs and glitchy sound design building around the roars and staying true to the song’s name. This is a stand-out track and is the only single off the EP May 23rd. Aniraco slows down the energy in what feels like a perfect call and response, opening up with beautiful flute and tribal elements. A perfect flow jam, it builds into heavier bass and sound design but focuses more on the drum rhythms and not overwhelming with heavy sound. Losing Touch builds another beautiful forest soundscape with birds chirping that slowly builds into a drop of thumping bass and psychedelic foley and sound effects. The drop feels almost like a ceremony and brings in vocal chants and more signature sounds to close out the EP in a beautiful way. It leaves you wanting to hear more from this talented artist and is a full journey through his sound.

Land Switcher - Front Screen

Presenting 'Bouncy Tales'; the new four-track EP from Halfred, centered around the artist's whimsically cheerful sound. The opening track 'Slowctopus' is a bubbly halftime banger, sounding as oddly fun as a slimy sea creature moonwalking on the ocean bed, while 'Outta The Cave Man' takes the same tone and applies it to a pre-historic cabaret kind of setting. Snowons (VIP) is a polished rendition of Halfred's first contribution to Outtallectuals in 2015, upgraded for modern clarity, while Chuggington's heavier sound comes through the collaboration with producer, Know Matter. Overall, the EP's half-time / glitch DnB aura is crafted for light moments on dancefloors while maintaining the technical bass music production firmly in tact.

01 - Halfred - Slowctopus

When my thirst for life is hindered by the built-up layers of protection, the fabrication of an illusive self decaying at an ever increasing rate, the chances of being happy become thin. No matter how beautiful, safe and sweet my days may look like, my shattered being is longing to be whole. As I worn myself out for a long time, the wounded being resting underneath the surface started banging on the door, gasping for air, in an attempt to be heard, to be accepted and step into the light without fear, to love and be loved. 

I am brewing my own recipe for happiness; a little of bit of joy, a little bit of sorrow, a pinch of madness, sprinkled with humour.
In the end, I don't want to take myself too seriously. So here it goes, a new album with its quirks, tasty sounds and sweet grooves. I hope you enjoy it !

Enticing us into a realm of lush and dreamy psychedelia, MantisMash peels back a new layer in the international psybass story with his 2019 release, ‘Inspectral.’ A seductive musical portrait that conjures its styling from worlds old and new, this scintillating collection speaks to the curious spirit of musical fusion through a language of textured vibrations, exotic instrumentals, and soothing low-end grooves. Drawing from classical dub influences cast through a hyper-modern lens, ‘Inspectral’ is an invitation to explore the uplifting musical universe that lies within us all. (Writing by SoundScrybe)

BIO:
Halfred is the culmination of years and years of aural exploration. Originally a drummer, the Italian born sonic warrior found his roots in drumming which led him to music production, along with a degree in electronic music production at SAE, in Milan. His eclectic approach makes it hard to categorize his music and this is partially due to the fact that his sound breaks the often repetitive mold of psy music, seamlessly taking the forms of dub, hiphop, drum n bass, garage, and world music and while staying true to his signature sound and focused on the micro details, he’s constantly experimenting with the squishy and granular side of psychedelic mid-tempo, drum and bass, dubstep, psybass and all things
psychedelic. During last years, he collaborated and remixed top notch artists like Desert Dwellers, Whitebear, Tribone, Zebbler Encanti Experience, Duffrey, Tryptich and had music released on labels such as Merkaba Music, Shanti Planti, Outtallectuals, Gravitas Recordings, Wakaan and more, as well as playing many festivals and nights in the European and North-American scene, such as Boom , Modem, Hadra, Shankra, Tribal Gathering, Own Spirit, Lost Theory, Isis Garden,Street Parade, Create Culture, Infrasound, Wormhole Wednesdays and Cosmic Sinergy Final Fridays.
