PausePlay: The Handrum and Bass Journey

PausePlay is an Indigenous music creator and mashup artist embarked on a journey of sonic exploration. Inspired by the rhythms of drum and bass and the soulful melodies of Indigenous hip hop and traditional singing, he sought to merge these diverse influences into a unique sound. The spark ignited while watching DJ Shub on CBC Music’s YouTube series “DJ Shub War Club” in 2021, where the track “Indomitable” at 161bpm led to a revelation of its compatibility with the drum and bass tempo of 172bpm.

Delving deeper into this musical fusion, he discovered Fawn Woods’ track “Love is Real” at 76bpm, which, after adjustments to 86bpm for halftiming with drum and bass, seamlessly intertwined with the rhythmic landscape. Critical key adjustments were made to harmonize vocals with the track’s melody, resulting in the birth of “Handrum and Bass.”

This newfound sound wasn’t just a musical experiment; it became a digital pathway deeply rooted in Indigenous culture, weaving a tapestry of tradition and storytelling. From the groovy vibes of Indigenous Funk to the gritty beats of DDD dark hip hop, his creations captivated audiences far and wide.

With each beat and melody, his story resonated, bridging cultures and creating a harmonious blend of past and present, tradition and innovation. And as the stage lights dimmed and the music began to play, the narrative of PausePlay continued to unfold, leaving audiences mesmerized by the magic of Handrum and Bass!
