Bass, Exclusive | FNT Premiere: Kantor Drops Eclectic Mid-Tempo Single ‘Blasted’
Posted by VMan on March 30, 2021
The Kantor universe is one of the most immersive and complete that an electronic music fan can connect themselves with today, in terms of rising talent. From the imaginative sounds of “Hacker,” to the exploratory trap realms of “Concrete Jungle,” there’s a certain level of color and stickiness that only this guy seems to be able to deliver.
That vibe continues on with his March 2021 released titled, “Blasted.” Very much embracing a mid-tempo structure and stuffing the theme full of low-end, club-friendly vocal samples and an all around hype vibe. “Blasted,” fits right in with what we are used to from Kantor, without sacrificing originality. The drop hits hard and proper, with several technical, yet well-placed ‘tings and tangs,’ embedded into the structure of this particular part.
“Blasted” is a record I believe fully encapsulates my style: the true combination between bass music, techno, and house. I have always wanted to combine those 3 genres and this truly reveals to the listener what type of journey they are going to be taken on in the coming months and years. This is just the beginning of that journey, so expect to hear insane basslines, thick kick drums, subtle melodic elements, and tons of crazy percussion!
– Kantor
Kantor has been able to build in his other talents into his electronic music career as well. His video for above-mentioned “Hacker,” – as well as his photos shared on socials – showcases the electronic musician performing sport video-game Dance-Dance Revolution in a way that organically fits. This example is one of many creative and dynamic attributes that plays as a positive and doesn’t distract/take-away from the uniformity important to the artist-to-fan flow. Kantor has been supported by Alison Wonderland and even invited onto her radio show. The solo female DJ has gone on record to say great things about him. On top of this, Kantor has played well over 150 shows across his 10+ years in electronic music. You can expect more from him in the future, in the mean time, “Blasted,” certainly will suffice.
Bass | GunFight Is Back With Impressive Bass Gem “Nuclear”
Posted by VMan on March 6, 2021
Coming back to the spotlight with his first release of the year, US-based talent GunFight has just unleashed impressive bass gem “Nuclear.” GunFight has had a truly impressive run last year, sharing 12 originals ranging from dubstep to drum & bass and electro, while receiving wide acclaim from some of the scene’s most established publications.
“Nuclear” acts as yet another perfect showcase of GunFight’s skills in the studio, driven by mind-bending sound design and sinister melodies. Coming alongside one of his most intricate visuals yet, “Nuclear” is filled with groovy basslines, bright synths and anthemic atmospheres, making up for a mid-tempo vibe that could definitely be the soundtrack to a futuristic, post-apocalyptic video game.
Bass | O Cinnedi Releases ‘Pride’ As 7 Deadly Sins Theme is Kicked Off
Posted by VMan on March 3, 2021
Canadian-based female DJ/producer O Cinnedi knows how to put together a host of content to make a greater whole. Her 7 Deadly Sins saga will come equipped with music videos mixed in. Alongside visual/audio elements that are soon to be revealed, “Pride,” is just the start of a fascinating ride.
As the first single reveals, trap / bass / melodic bass are playing out to be the hallmarks of this experience.
A bass -inspired flow, plenty of wubs throughout, and her own personal zest mixed in there, this is one single to get excited about for a multitude or reasons.
Far from mainstream, coming from the heart, and stone-hold, in-your-face aesthetics intact, O Cinnedi is on to something here.
Bass | Circus Records Inks Single Deal With New-Found Artist Doctor Neiman on “What About Love”
Posted by VMan on February 12, 2021
“What About Love,” assembles an eclectic balance of what many would consider ‘conflicting’ themes or genres. Yet, like the arena Snails! and Sullivan King relatively pioneered over the past couple of years, the single properly contributes and glorifies the space where the two competing themes can meet.
The outcome is a well transformative single.
Doctor Neiman, a fairly new alias that comes from a well-seasoned musician, is just kicking up the dust of a project that now includes the support and signing of Circus Records, but is expected to included many more releases signed by a similar vein of upper-echelon bass labels in due time.
“Let Go,” was released on Excision-owned Subsidia Records in early 2021. “What About Love,” follows soon after, showcasing a spike-of-sorts of overall activity and content from Doctor Neiman.
Clearly climbing to a pace with the goal to maintain, the thriving electronic musician with little known about him is generating plenty of buzz for all the right reasons.
Bass | O Cinnedi’s “Where am I?” Shines Light On An Underrated Female Artist
Posted by VMan on November 3, 2020
Since roughly the mid-2010’s, the gradual rise of female DJ/producers and electronic music performers has only granted more good will, prosperity, and opportunity within the dance scene, in North American in particular.
Hailing from Canada herself, O Cinnedi is a fine example of an underrated artist on the rise, her sound and style being something curious and natural to embrace.
Her single “Where am i?” is a fascinating extension of many of these facets and more, giving fans a bit to chew on and something to think about. The compliments of bass, clever arrangement, vivid sonic soundscapes, and a bit of O Cinnedi sauce, all comes together to make something memorable.
Check out the song in full above.
