Coming in hot for the next release from United By Bass Recordings, we are proud to bring you a deep, heavy roller from LA-based dnb duo, KNOWMANS. Up-and-coming vocalist, Rosebud, tops the song off perfectly with soulful lyrics that take this song to the next level and hits you at the core.

Capping this song off, we have a nasty house remix from the one and only Wes Smith! Wes pulled no punches on this one, bringing the heat from the very start with a crisp drumline, crunchy synths, and an upbeat bass line that you can't help but dance to.

A DJ's Journey Hosted by Deckard Ep. 2 - Wes Smith

After almost 20 years of providing top-tier electronic music events in San Diego, California, we have decided to take our love for electronic music to the next level. As of January 7th, 2022, United By Bass will now have a new extension of our passion, United By Bass Recordings. Our focus is to discover and deliver innovative and inspiring music from all genres that encompass our industry.

Often, the best music is music that inspires artists from all walks of life. Some of the best music to date is music that was made by an artist in a specific genre, but was discovered as a remix from a different artist in a different genre. Our vision with United By Bass Recordings is to release music that is remixed across multiple genres of electronic music. Each release will feature a song from one artist as the focal point, accompanied by three remixes of that song from three different artists in varying genres of electronic music.

We are inspired by all of the incredibly talented artists pushing the scene forward, and we are ecstatic to share music that moves us with you. Thank you for all that have supported us and continue to support us on our journey. We are all United By Bass.

Mixing together a blend of music selection including, but certainly not limited to breakbeat, nu funk, and house, Deckard keeps crowds on their feet and moving backed by his unique sound and ability to mix genres whether it be playing a sunrise set at Breakfast of Champions or closing down the main room in front of a packed warehouse.
