LISTEN TO THE BNNH PROMO MIX ON SOUNDCLOUD:
TUNA MELT & THUG SHELLS mention:
“We aimed to craft something enjoyable with a catchy topline, so we devised the beat and reached out to our friend Thug Shells, a legendary rapper on Twitch, to add vocals. Don’t forget to watch the fantastic music video for the song too!”
– TUNA MELT regarding “What U Do 2 Me” ft. Thug Shells
TETRIX BASS let us know:
“I initiated the production of this track with a nostalgic Arp melody, crafting an uplifting loop. It transported me to the reminiscent synth sounds of the early 2000s, inspiring me to follow the vibe it evoked.
– Tetrix Bass regarding “Let It Out”
As I progressed, the beat spontaneously materialized in my mind. Incorporating the captivating vocal chops loop elevated the track to an unforgettable experience, enticing listeners to replay it incessantly. The drop’s sound design draws from my distinct Tetrix Dubstep style, rendering it a dancefloor anthem while remaining equally enjoyable in a home setting.”
READY OR NOT tells us:
“Not really sure what I can say about my track besides #banger!”
– READY OR NOT, regarding “I Don’t Want To Wait”
Biosyrup shares with us:
“Valentine’s Day can hold a mix of emotions, from joy to heartache. Explore the poignant side of love with tales of longing, loss, and missed chances. In the midst of celebrations, remember the bittersweet stories that remind us of love’s complexity”
– BIOSYRUP, reagrding “Bloody Valentine”
YoungWolf tells us:
“The perception of love, one of the hardest aspects of life … so many wrongs yet so many rights, is it real or fake? Feeling or impulse? There are always so many questions but so little answers .. are we criminal?”
– YOUNGWOLF, regarding “Criminals”
JONAS LOEB shares:
“Every beat of ‘Forest Gate Seven’ feels like a footstep deeper into a mystical forest at twilight. Here, we find energy in pulsating basslines intertwining with echoing whispers of nostalgic longing. You just noticed a shimmer in the ancient brush, will you stay a while to investigate?”
– JONAS LOEB regarding “Forest Gate Seven”
RHAINDROP shares:
“I wrote “Getting Bored” because I wanted it to represent that I was getting bored of the person that I was. 3 years ago I needed to make some changes to my lifestyle and I’m now going on my 4th year of sobriety. ITS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY, JUST DON’T EVER GIVE UP!!”
– RHAINDROP regarding “Getting Bored”
ex:hail x gainchanger chime in with:
“Embracing themes of fear, escape, and self-discovery, this heartfelt song urges listeners to not let go in the face of loneliness. With evocative lyrics exploring the struggle to escape the abyss of personal despair, it questions whether finding oneself is possible without breaking free from internal struggles. A compelling anthem for anyone grappling with the challenges of solitude and the quest for inner peace.”
– EX:HAIL & GAINCHANGER regarding “Escape”
LO-HP tells us:
“Magnetism” by LO-HP is a genre-defying track making waves on BassCvlt, known for heavy bass music, yet, this Valentine’s Day release takes a unique turn. Listen in for a melodic journey featuring spacey pads, futuristic/game sound effects, and mesmerizing vocal chops echoing the mantra ‘the attraction.’ LO-HP’s ability to blend genres with finesse ensures that “Magnetism” stands out, promising an otherworldly experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional Drum & Bass.
