This is the first track of my forthcoming Ep on Red light records.

"Pterodactyl"

Shimmering electronics in the intro rise up out of the ether, kickstarting a track which you know means business. As we navigate the drop, the beats bounce back in full effect, establishing the flavour of the release – mean, moody and in your face. Full on craziness kicks in after this, with cascading effects filling the mix. Nothing’ll prepare you for Pterodactyl, you’ll just have to take flight regardless.

Headbanger Anthem

Bassline Mayhem

2002

My biggest inspiration for writing music are my own experiences. That is usually the catalyst that pushes me to start a new track. Countless late night chats at shows, silly moments in my daily life, or special moments that I wish I could frame and hang on my wall. When I open up Ableton, I pretend I’m writing the soundtrack for a specific slice of life.

My creative choices for this EP were guided by a few key things. I wanted to combine two worlds I thoroughly enjoy…bass music and hip hop. That’s always something that gets me hyped. Another guiding creative force, is this dragon I’ve been chasing since 2016 when I first heard Kursa’s track, Pick Em Up. This tune, with it’s pounding hip hop drums, invokes a darkness I seek in left field music and tried to tap into with this EP. This tune was a staple in my sets for years as it was both something that usually perked a dancer’s attention, while also doubling as a DJ tool to dip into bass music or footwork. With trends in dance music coming and going, I remain obsessed with this combination. Lastly, I tried to create m a s s I v e baselines that would make teenage me bass face while yelling “ooooh” and gripping onto the rail at the front of any rave. As this started to shape into a full project, I decided I was not gonna hold myself to rigid deadlines and take my time to craft this album out until I felt satisfied with the end result.

One time, Rau and I were at a music festival and I hung my shoes under one of the stages. They stayed there throughout the weekend, safe and undisturbed. The photo of my shoes hanging there makes us giggle and we turned it into a missing poster for this EP. Inspired by a story we made up of a raver that fell in love with footwork so passionately that they had to take their shoes off due to how hot their feet felt while dancing, never to be seen again (the shoes).

Release date: 28.02.2020

With 2020 NMA is happy to reveal another powerful release from Russian twin brothers GANCHER & RUIN. Combining wild energy and Russian madness they are ready to show you another ace in the hole called ‘PUNK’. After releasing ‘INTERCEPTOR’ and ‘SABOTAGE’ on NMA this release will be their second strike of 2020 after ‘ERASE’ on Hoofbeats Music.

Everyone knows how life can be tough. When kid is young and there is nothing to do in the neighbourhood he usually goes hardcore just for fun.
Someone calls this young troublemaker ‘PUNK’. He believes in rebellion. And that is something wild in him that makes his life goes on the way he wants. Powerful drums with tight snare and rolling breaks shows you the nature of the punk.

Many years later this punk grew up in a ‘BIG BOSS’. And there is still something inside him that he never gave up. He still behave the same way he did when he was young. Just because this is exactly what brought him to this point. The sound of ‘BIG BOSS’ is different from ‘PUNK’ but it surely keeps the same vibe deep inside. Packed with the deep bassline and easy drums it surely shows you the look of that big boss.
