The new EP, Alternate Reality, really pushes into Genres some of your audience may not be used to you going. What do you say to them? 

If they aren’t used to the music on Alternate Reality than they haven’t listened to any of our releases for the last 2 years.  Ever since our Rituals LP we have been covering all corners of bass music.  The tracks here shouldn’t be too much of surprise.

Of the members of Terravita, which one would survive the longest in the wild? 

Probably Matt.  He was just living in the woods at Shambhala for like a week before and after.  He is a nature boy….at least when Shambhala comes around.

Terravita is a central piece of the Safe In Sound Festival. How has it been being a part of the only touring Bass music festival? 

It is amazing to see so many people come together for bass music in every city all across North America. We are very lucky to be a part of Safe In Sound as the resident artist.  Seeing that many people lose it to 150,000 watts of PK sound is always a magical experience. It is an honor to be the only act that plays every Safe In Sound event.

If you were given the chance to build your dream house in one place, where would it be and why?

Chris – Probably in Laguna or Newport Beach. Close to the water and chill, but also close to LA and the airport.

Jon – The French Riviera for sure, one of the most beautiful places in the world. The food and wine and culture there are insanity plus it’s a stones throw from Spain and Italy which are two other places I would consider for this question.

Matt –  I’d pick a jet that I can live in. That way I can always travel and be at home at the same time.

Not long ago, you pushed back against claims that “dubstep was dead”. What is your assessment of the state of dubstep now? 

At this point it is hard to tell where dubstep starts and ends and where bass music begins.  Drumstep, Glitch Hop, Trap, Twerk and even Bassline House or Future Bass and all hybrids of the above are under the umbrella of bass music.  These days most artists that people consider to be Dubstep actually play a variety of genres that fall under bass music. Bass music is alive and well and stronger than ever. The artists all experiment with sounds and bpm to a point that it is impossible to categorize it under one genre, hence the umbrella of bass music. People always talk about everything being dead like they just need something to talk about. Nothings dead over here in Dubstep/ Bass music, things are just evolving.

Listen to Terravita’s Guestmix on Firepower’s latest episode of the Lock and Load mix series!

“I just got back from Shambhala and had the pleasure of witnessing Terravita absolutely slay,” Firepower boss man Datsik says. “I’m excited to present their new EP out on Firepower Records and can’t wait to hit the road with them again for Safe In Sound next month.”

The Alternate Reality EP is Terravita’s next musical masterpiece in a string of chart topping accomplishments, and it features some forays into alternate realities of bass music production, solidifying this EP as a `dynamic and diverse piece of work.

Leading the EP is a massive collaboration between Terravita and Th3 Cats called “Girl & Robot”. A traditional dub structure sets the foundation including a solid dub style vocal hook. The signature Terravita melodies build into a wall-of-sound that puts the pressure on and keeps it there. The next track “Fat Wad” immediately shifts direction into an alternate Bass Music reality. Juxtaposing the beautiful and soaring vocals with an aggressive and grimey Trap inspired beat breakdown, the track elicits both an urge to sing to the heavens and stomp the earth in a frenzied rage. “Fat Wad” is perfect track for the peak hour and will be included in setlists all over the globe.

Continuing to explore the alternate realities of Bass Music, Terravita venture into a world where   bass heavy Electro House and filthy Dubstep co-exist in same song. This formula has wreaked immeasurable amounts of havoc on dancefloors because of the demand on audiences to shift from shuffling at 128 BPMs, to headbanging to a massive Dubstep drop. “Do My Thing” is an absolute wrecker, and the brain tickling synth arrangements will only incite audiences to rage harder.

It seems like it wouldn’t be a proper release without the masterful lyricism of Terravita’s own Jon Spero. “Don’t Turn On The Lights” is a heavy metal infused modern bass music destroyer. Screeching guitar solos match the pumping synth patterns, and the track sounds like it could be an encore at a Guns n’ Roses concert. The energy of Dubstep and Metal are very similar, and Terravita, perhaps more than any other Bass Music producers, capture that expertly in every one of their releases.

Finally, RIOT comes through with a face melting remix of “Fuel To The Fire”, the title track From Terravita’s previous chart topping EP. There is no doubt that RIOT held nothing back. From the get-go, the track pumps and pulses through the build-up and crushes the listener with an absolutely filthy drop. The track toggles back and forth from sections of expert lyrical wordsmithing to massive builds. When the beat does drop, it’s chaos.

The Tracklisting for Alternate Reality is:

1. Terravita & Th3 Cats – “Girl & Robot”
2. Terravita – “Fat Wad”
3. Terravita – “Do My Thing”
4. Terravita – “Don’t Turn On The Lights”
