Bass | Kantor Drops Sophomore Multi-Genre Original “Sonic”
Posted by VMan on November 2, 2018
“Sonic” is an aggressively melodic blend of sounds and influences with which Kantor seamlessly fluctuates between trap-inflected future bass and drum and bass. The result is unique, providing a stark contrast that overflows with futuristic energy and dynamic melody. Furthermore, the release’s intricate layering and rhythmic complexity are personified by arpeggiated synths and alluring percussion. With Kantor’s latest having been in development for over a year, listeners will agree that “Sonic” was well worth the wait.
Previously known as 5 & A Dime, Kantor has undergone a massive branding overhaul, promising a dark and moody yet powerful and emotionally-driven sound. Accompanying that sound are live performances on custom-designed DDR pad, exemplifying an personification of ‘neo-retrofuturism.’ Prior to rebranding, Kantor had performed with the likes of Steve Aoki and Kendrick Lamar and was supported by acts such as The Chainsmokers, DJ Snake, Tiesto and many more.

Bass | Chime Announces Tour And Heavy Hitting Single Entitled “WhirlWind”
Posted by VMan on September 26, 2018
Solo producer Chime may look young, but the artist who falls between the world of filthy bass and video game music has more than enough fanbase and experience under his belt, and many in the industry are taking notice.
Chime has clearly achieved enough clout to embark on the Whirlwind Tour – and it’s not the first long-term tour he has embarked on either – on top of this, he’s release quite a heavy bass track under the same name for fans to latch on to.
A part of what separates Chime from others is his dedication to fans and enabling them ample opportunity to see what his live shows are about, Facebook live streams of him throwing down on CDJs are far from an odd aspect of the Chime Experience.
Bass | Saint Punk Drops Bass-Heavy Remix Of Nine Inch Nails’ “March Of The Pigs”
Posted by VMan on September 25, 2018
Having only released 3 tracks in less than 6 months, Saint Punk has several elements going right. His latest is a filthy take on a legendary electronic-based artist Nine Inch Nails. The remix showcases a bass-house influence with what seems like an ever-so-slight future house influence, Saint Punk has put a fresh twist on an old classic to say the least.
Saint Punk’s creative take on bass music, in general, sets him apart from the market he falls in, at least at this time. His branding is organized and his music stays within a spectrum of recognizable in it’s totality, but differentiates release to release. Saint Punk is on the path of something unique at a minimum and will surely be dropping more in the near-future.
