Trauma Response

Quartz - Trauma Response

Ainonow is back with a powerful new offering, unveiling the double-sided single “Break It” and “Lilt,” dropping March 21st via Onset Audio. Known for pushing the boundaries of experimental bass and drum & bass, Ainonow delivers a striking contrast between high-intensity energy and intricate, atmospheric sound design.
“Break It” is a raw, percussive-driven heater built to shake foundations, fusing industrial textures with relentless bass pressure. On the flip side, “Lilt” explores the deeper, more hypnotic side of Ainonow’s sonic arsenal—halftime layered with haunting melodies, intricate breaks, and immersive soundscapes. Together, these tracks showcase the emerging producer’s ability to traverse the full spectrum of underground electronic music.
With past releases already making waves in the bass and DnB communities, Ainonow continues to carve out a unique space in the scene, seamlessly blending innovation with raw intensity. Break It and Lilt mark the next chapter in a journey that refuses to be confined by genre.

Ainonow is an interdisciplinary and enigmatic artist focused on electronic music production. With his diverse background and range of influences, Ainonow's tracks traverse a broad spectrum of sonic landscapes. Combining elements of dark and heavy drum & bass, broken beat halftime and experimental bass music, he takes his listeners on a musical journey soaked in organic textures. As one of the most forward-thinking, rising artists in the world of underground electronic music, Ainonow’s music speaks to the power of experimentation and the limitless possibilities of creative expression.

On his debut two-track EP Exile Ainonow showcases his range in the genre of drum & bass starting out with the title track Exile, an industrial, raw, and ruthlessly rhythmic minimal drum & bass song with Jungle style breaks. The second track of the EP Triturate then launches into a meticulously layered, high energy neurofunk song that holds nothing back.
