Your music never fails to bring the filth, but what were you going for with this EP that you didn’t do with you previous recordings?

I really tried to branch out in terms of my sound design and not just use what I was comfortable with.  I used the same patches for a few years because they ‘sounded like me’ but I really wanted to make some new stuff that sounded more modern.

Can we talk about your EP artwork? We know you worked closely with our good bud and Firepower Artist Solid Soul. What are some elements that are tucked into the piece you’d like to tell us about?

This is by far my favorite piece of artwork ever.  It fully captures me as a person and Eric did such an amazing job, I am forever grateful.  There are over 20 little easter eggs hidden in the art.  My favorites are my cat Tenders that has gone Super Saiyan and a few video game references. I don’t want to give too many away though because I’m planning on having a contest to see if anyone can find them all.

When you’re on the road, what kind of food are you looking to eat before the show? What’s your meal of choice?

I eat like absolute shit on the road and wish I didn’t haha  My go to meal would be either chicken tenders or some hot AF wings.  You can’t ever go wrong with tenders.

What’s one thing you can think of that defines your childhood?

Definitely Nintendo games.  I used to play this one level on Donkey Kong over and over just to listen to the music that was playing.  I think that was my initial spark of interest in weird sounds that would later evolve into a love for dance music.

What job would you want to have if you weren’t making music?

Video game journalist or a game tester.

Los Angeles (July 27, 2016) Firepower Records is set to release AFK’s forthcoming Disconnected EP on August 19^th, and we couldn’t be more stoked. “Death Gun”, his most recent release with Firepower, was one of the most demanded tracks on this year’s Kamikaze Compilation. The dude can throw down, and this EP is red meat for any die-hard bass music fan. In celebration of the event, AFK is throwing in his remix of “Pressure” as a free download. DJs all over the planet have been pumping the track, and now you can have it all to yourself!

Starting the EP is “Gleam Eyes”. AFK has always experimented with different modes of self-expression in his music, and that is clear here. A playful and whimsical key section leads into a filthy drop and nastier buzzsaw synth. The two components, seemingly opposite, compliment each other while messing with the listener’s sanity. By moving into “Coffin” featuring Crichy Crich, AFK shows a harder, grittier side. Crichy Crich’s swagger AF attitude makes the track a good mid set heater that will have crowds busy on the dance floor.

“Too Late” gets real sinister real fast. A heavy rolling bassline marches hard underneath a murderous synth arrangement, breaking just enough to build a drop that will melt faces into little puddles of human. But it’s with “Unshakeable” that AFK shows the extent of his production prowess. The featured vocals float angelically through the track, carried along by a beautifully euphoric melody. But as AFK moves into the harder elements of the song, the vibe moves into headbang territory and doesn’t look back. This is a peak hour track to have ready to roll in any serious DJ’s set.

The Tracklisting for Disconnected is:

1. AFK – “Gleam Eyes”
2. AFK – “Coffin” ft. Crichy Crich
3. AFK – “Too Late”
4. AFK – “Unshakeable”
