ONE&TWO are back with the Freak EP, out on November 11, via Nightenjin. The Las Vegas and Kansas City pair teamed up to give us a two-track record that spotlights the versatility of house music.

“Freedom” kicks off the track with a tribal beat that builds into a deep tech-house hook with velvety vocals to soothe the soul. “Freak,” on the other hand is appropriately named and party-ready. The epitome of a bass house anthem, “Freak” is full of guttural chanting and modular wobbles that’ll melt your brain. In both tracks, ONE&TWO showcase their mastery level of production, incorporating clean basslines and hypnotizing hooks to construct certified bangers. Freak EP may be short, but checks off all of our boxes.

KillWill, famously known as Will Champlin, is dropping his longest project to date, the Glowing EP, on October 21st, via Nightenjin. The multi-talented musician shows off all his skills in the 5-track EP by both producing the beats and vocals for the project. The Glowing EP will have you vibing all the way through.

You’ll come to find that KillWill is ultra versatile. The LA producer/vocalist showcases two different genres in Glowing: melodic house and drum & bass, with “Disintegrate” and “MOUNTAIN MAN” serving as the project’s dnb tracks. You’ll be transported to an island paradise with tropical house opener, “Alright.” The tune’s bombastic beats are topped off with the musician’s velvety vocals and elements of nature scattered throughout. “Embers” and the eponymous “Glowing” are two passionate house songs that add dimension to the record. The Glowing EP reaches an uplifting end with “MOUNTAIN MAN.” The fun, high-energy DnB track brings the whole project together, and is the perfect example of Champlin’s matchless musicality.

The post RS-004: Two Tails – Evolution EP appeared first on Nightenjin.

He has always genuinely valued bringing quality music to his fans. At the end of the day, the big goal for his career is branching out as well as always innovating and inspiring.

Some standout tracks that really showcase him as an artist besides what you’ll hear off his new EP would have to be: “Lost Highway” a collab he did with JPhelpz ft. Messinian and a sinister original titled “Jack Reacher” that he did with the underground sound of Gravity.

Lock & Load EP

Blaqout’s back with his new EP, titled appropriately, Lock & Load, which keeps your head banging and leaves you with a feeling of nostalgia that almost any bass head can oblige to. Ragga Twins take the feature, which makes this a sure-fire recipe for any Dubstep DJ from here to Japan. They listen to dubstep in Japan, right?

Buygore scoops Lock & Load, which comes out today (August 30th), and we at Bassdrop couldn’t be more excited to see how far these tracks can go. Keep Blaqout on your radar, something tells me big things are coming his way.

Interview

Bassdrop: What’s the story behind Blaqout?

Blaqout: There’s a pseudo-interesting story behind the alias, and I’d have to preface my answer with one fact. That is, that “Blaqout” was originally supposed to be a duo with my best friend.

BD: For those who aren’t familiar with your music, please describe your style.
B: Stylistically speaking, I’d like to think of myself as more of a hybrid. Although my primary forte is heavy, high-energy dubstep, I’ve recently experimented with all kinds of genres. Dark vibes have always been a favorite of mine, though.

BD: What are your goals for your music career for the next few years?
B: I’ve always valued bringing quality music to my fans, that they can enjoy but a big goal for my career is to branch out, and experiment with just about anything possible. I want to innovate and inspire while being inspired by the artists that I look up to.

BD: What has been your funniest and most memorable moment to date?
B: My funniest moment to date, would have to be at Global Dub Festival in Kansas City earlier this year. Datsik was headlining, and he’s one of my favorite artists by far. During his set, his tour manager had me and my manager spray water bottles all over the crowd to cool them off. As if that weren’t fun, and funny enough already, I received a text later from my buddy in the crowd that said something to the effect of “bruh, you made me wet.” Ha-ha!

BD: What do you enjoy doing in your spare time when you’re not making music or playing shows?
B: Honestly, I’ve always been a workaholic so whenever I’m not cooling back with my homies, I’m constantly focusing on bettering myself. Producing, networking, practicing, it’s all I do. In fact, I joke around all the time that producing has become my newest video game addiction!

BD: If you weren’t a DJ, what would you be doing instead?
B: I have no idea what I would be doing instead. Before embarking on this whole music thing, I wanted to work in computer programming. That’s probably what I would be doing if music had never come along. Programming really bugged me, too. Sometimes I spent up to a week on one line of coding. These days, I’d rather just make a fire tune!

BD: Who or what are your biggest sources of inspiration for your music?
B: My biggest sources of inspiration actually stem back pretty far. Right as I entered high school, I discovered artists like Borgore, Skrillex and Deadmau5. Fast forward a year or so, and I discovered Datsik, Coki, Benga, Doctor P and a bunch of others. All of the aforementioned artists heavily inspire me nowadays, but there are so many more I could add to the list. I’ve always believed in being inspired by everyone that’s innovating. Artists like MurDa, Herobust, and Getter really inspire me when it comes to sound design.

BD: What do you think makes you unique in an industry flooded with talent?
B: I enjoy performing on four decks live, and spending a lot of time trying to create new sounds. I’d like to think something unique about me is the fusion of multiple genres. With my music, sound design is something I really want to “stand out.”

Bassdrop: Anything else not mentioned here that’d you’d like to tell your fans?
Blaqout: If there’s one thing that I’d love to tell my fans, it’s that there’s nobody that can stop you from achieving your dreams, other than yourself. Throughout high school, I can’t tell you how many people told me that producing EDM was an unrealistic goal. It doesn’t matter how many times you may fail at something, it only matters how you bounce back and what you learn from your mistakes.

The post Blaqout: Interview and Lock & Load EP Review appeared first on Nightenjin.

The Chainsmokers didn’t jump in and use the Selfie formula, they came in fresh to death. The whole Bouquet EP has this smooth vibe, perfect for their fall release. Getting the idea of writing genres out of your head to be able to just write beautiful music is something that doesn’t come easy in this demanding world of genre labels, but they managed to do this for all of the songs on the album. Every one of these songs would go over well to almost any crowd you gave it to, and I can’t help but notice how smooth every track is. If they haven’t broken into mainstream yet, then this album is the ticket to make The Chainsmokers a household name. Vocal game is strong all across the board, and they still slip in those cool little parts to remind us who’s in charge here.

Track number four, titled Waterbed, gets an honorable mention, well, because it’s my favorite track out of all of them. They introduce some 808 game into the mix with these super catchy vocal chops, making it a bit different than the rest of the tracks, and standing out enough to be original but still keeping that “I just heard this on the radio” sound that they have introduced to the world with Bouquet, an album that sent me straight back to the studio to get my shit straight. Boys, you killed it. Thanks for being you.

New York City Fun Real Facts :
1) 100 versions of this song were made
2) First place we ever played this song was in Boston, sort of ironic
3) Mets clinched the world series same week we are releasing this! GO METS!
4) This is one of the first demos we ever received when we signed to our first major
5) If you lift a kangaroo’s tail off the ground it can’t hop.
