Growing up, I used to hate house music. If it wasn't
Daft Punk or something with fat basslines and crunchiness all over, I wasn't that into it. I needed breakbeats, which spawned my love for drum & bass. As I got older, and more styles of house emerged—as well as the hypnotic sounds of UKG and grime hit my stereo—I eased up on my "no house" stance, but I still need a chunky bassline to keep me interested.
Props to labels like In:flux Audio, who pride themselves on what feels like a bass-first campaign. They also love collaborating, allowing artists to essentially guest-pick tuns from artists they are feeling for their 'Presents' series. For their latest in that project, which hits shops on March 27, 2017, they let the trio known as
Wölfe step up for a lethal dose of bassline badassery.
The release is 11 tracks deep and features a number of my favorites, including
Kozee, who's following up
her Untitled EP with the long-awaited "So For Real."
GHSTGHSTGHST is back like he left something, and
Dr. Cryptic's "One Of Those" is a personal favorite from this release, which you can preview down below.
You can
grab this via Juno on March 27; if you're looking for the post-SXSW, pre-Miami Music Week audio assault, In:flux Audio's got you covered.
