Synth & Surf Saloon: Report from Cruel World 2025

Contact
Day 21 of #35in35 • KANTIBUS

“Contact” is a wild collision of 90s electronic-pop and contemporary trap—think Devo meets post-Migos swagger. Anchored at 75 BPM in C♯m, its industrial 808 swells and glitch-shard intro give way to stuttering hi-hats and a bubbling synth arpeggio. Every line is a cut-and-paste blueprint: “I architect the chaos, stacks rise in the smoke.”

By the pre-chorus, a reverse-reverb snare riser jolts you into the chanted hook—“Contact high… contact high…”—where a call-and-response crowd chant meets heavy synth stabs and trembling sub-808 pulses. The bridge’s seismic beat-switch unleashes distorted 808s and rolling triplets, sending the energy into orbit. It’s frenetic, fun, and defiantly off-kilter—a blueprint for rebellion in neon and steel.

💥 Drop a comment if you felt that beat-switch!

I did lead vocals. This was apart of an online project where a bunch of anonymous people covered Devo's first record. (2022).
Got a bit sloppy near the end there.

I’ve complained in the past about modern music needing a jolt of innovation without coming off as pretentious. Phidippus seems to epitomize the desire to make great music while refusing to keep to one specific formula, making his trajectory as an artist fascinating to watch. I find Phidippus to be an immensely underappreciated musician who just needs one big hit to make his name reverberate throughout the densely packed world of electronica, and I hope that that day comes sooner rather than later.

KANTIBUS is an American producer/songwriter who has been creating songs since 1990.

It is a portmanteau of his first initial and last name. 

KANTIBUS started creating what would eventually become known as Drill or Trap Music, demonstrating expertise in both genres. 

As such, he is a pioneer of the "violent real life criminal" styles that exist still in the underground today.

Hi. I'm Tom. I enjoy teaching and developing leaders most of all. I love to see life change in people as a result of their involvement in ministry. To me, there is nothing more exciting and motivating than to see someone connect with God and begin to live out His purpose for their life.
