Bass, Electronic, Hip-Hop, House | Saladin & MC Flipside Team Up for G House Banger ‘Don’t Interrupt Me’
Posted by VMan on September 14, 2018
Following hot on the heels of his recent single, “Far Enough”, Saladin is back along with prolific Toronto artist MC Flipside with a massive collaboration titled, “Don’t Interrupt Me”.
Together, Saladin & MC Flipside deliver a heavy, hard-hitting jam that features grimy basslines and attitude filled lyrics bringing some major cross-over appeal. Built for the clubs but accessible to Hip Hop heads the new tune fires on all cylinders.
Individually both artists have already seen some major success. Saladin, a billboard charting producer, often finds support from heavyweight artists like Paul Van Dyke, Don Diablo, DJ BL3ND, Ummet Ozcan and Knife Party (to name a few), thanks to his original production and ability to craft crowd-moving remixes and originals.
MC Flipside on the other hand has previously released collaborations with deadmau5, MDE, Funkagenda, Kid Massive, Roger Sanchez, Bart B More, Joey Suki, Carlo Lio, Garmiani (and many more), often landing at the top of the charts in nearly every digital store. Together, both Saladin and MC Flipside are at their best on the new release.

Bass, House | Lektrique Drops EP With Epic Sam Lamar Collab
Posted by VMan on September 6, 2018
The Belgian producer Lektrique has long been a creative that has pushed bass music forward despite not being a name that everyone may recognize at first mention. The Kannibalen Records mainstay and radio host is taking his career to the next level, not only with epic tracks including the two that make up his Black Magic EP, but he has recently moved to Los Angeles to hold things down on the West coast. Now, the move doesn’t work for everyone, but given his talents and the success he’s already had, he’s set to flourish. Just take this first project since the relocation as an example of what’s to come. Both tracks, including the Sam Lamar collab, are next level and we’re sure to see the bar raise even further soon.
Bass | Rob Gasser And Brig Touch On Release, Career, Styles And More [Interview]
Posted by VMan on September 3, 2018
With the release of their latest collaboration with Ashley Apollodor, Rob Gasser and Brig are used to adding additional notches to their production belt. Both having been active producers for years who have made their rounds on labels, tours, ect. The two shared some updates and details about what’s happening in their life. View the interview in full below:
When did “Rob Gasser” and “The Brig” work together for the first time?
The Brig: I worked with Rob for the first time last year on the track “What The Funk” with Chime
Rob Gasser: We first worked together last year on our collaboration with Chime titled “What The Funk”
With “Take A Fall”, how did the collaboration with Ashley Apollodor initially develop and solidify into an original?
The Brig: We used Rob’s old demo that Ashley recorded vocals for. After that, we made the arrangement and the final mastering.
Rob Gasser: Ashley had originally written the vocals for a house track that I produced (and then scrapped), but I liked the vocals so much that I started a new project with them. One thing led to another, and I sent out a demo over to The Brig.
How do each of you go about selecting singers you decide to work with?
The Brig: Usually I use vocal cuttings from other tracks. But sometimes my manager finds me a good vocalist.
Rob Gasser: I tend to usually work with artists I’m friends with, I feel that the writing & production process becomes way more fluid and harmonic then.
From your perspectives, how has the scene or industry evolved since first entertaining the space as an artist pursuing a career?
The Brig: There have been many changes; all of them positive. Now it’s much easier to communicate with fans and feel their support.
Rob Gasser: Things have changed, for sure. The way we promote our music, but also the style, variety & the production quality has increased massively overall.
How have your personal production styles developed over time?
The Brig: I constantly try to improve the quality of my tracks. I like to add various voice clippings and unusual sounds to my music. It’s great when my style changes a little to follow the trends.
Rob Gasser: I shifted from producing Complextro and House to Bass music, so there are some differences in production techniques, which I adapted to.
Where do you think the next channels to experience dance music will mostly grow in the near future? (Twitch, ect.)
The Brig: Twitch, Youtube, Spotify, nothing new in the near future.
Rob Gasser: Definitely Spotify.
If you could, would you give your younger self, just starting out, any experience advice you know now?
The Brig: Of course, it would be so much easier to develop my style and create high-quality music from that time.
Rob Gasser: I would tell myself to not listen so much to what other people have to say outside of constructive criticism, and just do my own thing. If it sounds tight, it’s right.
What is upcoming for the rest on 2018?
The Brig: Soon I have my release “Drunken Master EP” on Firepower records, and also a couple of singles.
Rob Gasser: I got a few big announcements coming up very soon, including an EP! 🙂 Very excited for all of them!
