Los Angeles (January 30, 2017) – Firepower Records is set to release the 5th installment of their Flatline Compilation on February 17th , and it’s stacked with some of the most talented producers currently breaking into the bass music game. Two years ago, Firepower Records released their first Flatline Compilation, and it featured the young up-and-comers Jphelpz, Aweminus, Phiso, and EH!DE. Two years later, these bass music badasses are crushing international festival stages and clubs all over the world. With talent like this rising through the ranks, the bass music establishment better stay woke—these producers are skilled beyond their years.
Chime returns to the Firepower fold with a nasty track. “Get Your hands Dirty” rolls in hard, and Chime gives us a solid melodic topline to hook the listener in. The track builds its way into the drop, but, in a sinister little move, delays the beat a count. The result is madness. Halfway through the track, Chime toggles into a Riddim beat, and the shift up is designed to unleash chaos on the dance floor.
Next, we’re proud to introduce Hi I’m Ghost, and he’s been bulldozing his way into the bass music world. “All In My Head” is a feast for anyone immediately mesmerized by the more euphoric components of bass music production. The intro is gorgeous. Suddenly, the track drops off a cliff, and the track digs its sonic claws into your head. His obvious knowledge of bass music comes through as he shifts between multiple beat structures, ultimately creating a very listenable and satisfying tune. Hi I’m Ghost is a pro, a true testament to the role of hard work and grinding constantly at perfecting the craft.
Everyone welcome Nato Feelz to the Firepower family. Right out of the gate, he makes a name for himself with “Bad Bitch”, a deeply felt Trapstyle track. At once beautiful and melodic, the track leaps into head bang territory just at the right time. A filthy sub bass rattles your guts, and just when you’ve had enough, the track reminds you of how sweet and innocent it can be.
Squaring out the compilation is another new-comer to the label, Blaqout. He’s been working hard behind the scenes and his work has paid off. “Mystic Flex” is a brilliant piece of bass music, and it reflects a solid grasp what makes a tune immediate head bang material. The track features an expertly designed synth arrangement and a sub bass that balances everything out perfectly. Blaqout’s unique sound design set’s him apart, and his music is instantly recognizable. Don’t sleep on this track.
The Tracklist for the Flatline Compilation Vol. 5 is:
- Chime – “Get Your Hands Dirty”
- Hi I’m Ghost – “All In My Head”
- Nato Feelz – “Bad Bitch”
- Blaqout – “Mystic Flex”

(Los Angeles) December 22nd There’s a maxim we throw around the Firepower Records headquarters: There’s no such thing as too much Firepower.
So, what do you do when you have a surplus of sonic weaponry ready to go? You bundle it all together and light it up. And that’s exactly what we did with these four choice tracks from both new and established members of the Firepower Family. This collection exhibits our desire for the deeper, minimal, and more underground sounds, and it challenges listeners to think twice about entrenching so hard in any particular part of the Dubstep spectrum.
With a strong showing on Firepower Records with his release of Living Dead earlier this summer, Jphelpz is back with a sound that shows an immense amount of growth in his artistic taste. More of a minimal approach to Dubstep production, Jphelpz’ track “Takeover” shows a mind sharpening itself. This track cuts deep.
Phiso, Aweminus, Acting Damage, and Ripple team up with “Four Horsemen” , a murderous take on what the Apocalypse would sound like if there were a soundtrack. With slicing synths that seem to scratch and crawl through the braincase, the track is balanced with a modest rolling beat. This track is not for the weak.
Obscenity and EH!DE squad up for “First Blood”, an initially playful tune that turns quickly to the sinister side. The production elements unique to both artists come through clearly in the track, and the final product points to a successful collaboration.
Rounding out the track list is Ajapai and Mayhem’s “Get it Together”. This unique collaboration brings together two dance music philosophies that are as different as they get, but when welded together we are the beneficiaries of a monster tune that wreaks havoc on the sensibilities of Genre purists. Do not expect a run-of-the-mill Trap tune. As soon as you get comfy with the style Mayhem and Ajapai have established, they switch it up. It’s this diversity in sound production that makes the track so hot.
The tracklisting for Flatine Vol. 1 is:
1. Jphelpz – “Takeover”
2. Phiso, Aweminus, Acting Damage & Ripple – “Four Horsemen”
3. Obscenity & EH!DE – “First Blood”
4. Ajapai & Mayhem – “Get It Together”
