Blanke animates “EON BREAK” into the electro ghosts of Porter’s past

"The infinite sky will heal us. Unlimited sky will fill our negligible light... Choose your virtual echo" @virtualself Original -- https://soundcloud.com/virtualself/virtual-self-eon-break Where else to find me twitter.com/blankemusic www.instagram.com/blankemusic/ www.facebook.com/blankemusic https://open.spotify.com/artist/59Yq0xrABEihHANsfo9QMT PS Its pronounced BLANK

When Porter Robinson—sometimes anime master, but at all times deserving of the “most emotional guy in the room” award—dropped his ubiquitous kaomoji and instead surrounded himself with “technic-Angels” and “virtual echoes,” whatever that means, it caused the same type of civil war that came from the Worlds vs. Spitfire divide. His uber-loyal fan base couldn’t decide whether to adore or loathe the DDR cloak Robinson adorns in his Virtual Self side project. Blanke understands your frustrations; this new Porter is great, but you yearn for a reminder of his complextro or future bass tendencies. Compelled to action, the Sydney producer flips “EON BREAK” on its head. Blanke delivers a mind-altering rework that finds suitable spaces to inject biting sawtooth basslines and chirpy synths. The result would make even Porter-senpai proud—okay, we can all stop calling him that, right?

Whipped Cream reveals her plight through a bottomless pit of bass

Released through Nest HQ, the bass producer’s newest release is a haunting and powerful ode to trials and tribulations. More specifically, the three-track EP was crafted from a retrospective gaze at Whipped Cream’s rising career. “I want you to know you’re not alone if you’re chasing something right now,” she explained, “and no matter how hard it is if you remain pushing, scratching and trying new things to make it happen…you can get there.” The entirety of Persistence is submerged in a thick air of uneasiness, reinforced by eerie uses of vocal samples and snares that are hard to pin down. Amid the solemnity, Whipped Cream still manages to showcase incredible low-end work at a lumbering pace—drawing parallels to the constant perils of passionate pursuit.

BVNDS slams the throttle on remix of "Fourth Impact"

A hidden gem in the expanse of the Soundcloud bubble, Toronto-based producer BVNDS delivers a face-melting remix of REZZ and k?d's collaboration "Fourth Impact." The original song's eerie melody paints a picture of a barren alien landscape, which is cleverly filled by BVNDS' metallic basses and growls to give the song bite and texture. The effect driven is a vibe reminiscent of a non-existent fusion between Gesaffelstein and Dog Blood, delivering satisfying results to bass-heads everywhere. While this definitely marks one of BVNDS' heavier remixes, this song alone is no testament to his versatility as a producer. Also check out his renditions of What So Not's "Montreal" and Boombox Cartel's "Alamo."
