Aptly titled ‘Maximum Damage’ EP is certain to hit the masses with some serious ammo – you’ve been warned! The five track EP packs some serious heat from start to finish that’s sure to get those senses tingling. So, proceed with caution!
Starting things off, JPhelpz showcases “BREAK YO NECK”which is very straightforward with its intentions, as you can tell from the title. With a haunting introduction that warns to proceed with caution, things take a turn for the danger zone before you’ve been able to properly grasp what’s to come. Leading straight into a pulverizing bassline, JPhelpz aims at pure destruction with a bassline that aims for blood with two drops that settle in the forefront of your subconscious, leaving you hungry for more.
Following up in proper fashion, “DAMAGE”steps up to the plate with a heavily influenced hip hop introduction that entices right from the start. Flexing with some serious mech vibes, JPhelpz stuns with an impeccable break down with a jumpy step that’s sure to get the masses rockin’ from side to side, before the bassline really sinks its teeth into you. With a second drop that settles in even better than the first, JPhelpz proves “DAMAGE” isn’t meant for the faint of heart.
Next up, “OG”brings the heat in proper JPhelpz fashion – you know what we mean here. Returning to the throne with his signature sound and aggressive buildup, JPhelpz quickly proves his talents are simply unmatched. Shedding light on a wobbly bassline that’s meant to get those booties percolating, JPhelpz keep it grimey with a heavy low-end that takes over your body before you know it. With a second drop that comes in for the kill, “OG” reaffirms his status as one of the genres biggest players.
With heavy roots in the genre of metal, it’s only proper that JPhelpz brings them to the forefront with “SUPPRESSOR”as it grips your attention right from the start with relentless guitar riffs. Aiming right from the jugular, the ominous introduction wastes little time before pulling out all the stops with a wobbly bassline paired with gnarly growls that cause some serious bass face. Leaving some breathing room between drops, JPhelpz makes sure to finish off strong with a second drop that hits even harder than the first.
Closing out the project proper, JPhelpz pulls out all the stops with “TANKED”. Hitting the ground running with another wobbly bassline, “TANKED” offers up some serious heat in the form of unrelenting bass oblivion. Serving up a flawless high energy beat, this one certainly shows off in true JPhelpz style. Moving you into another dimension of dizzy bassline aftermath, “TANKED” doesn’t let up from start to finish and showcases the infectious sound he’s known for.

]]>Los Angeles (August 14th, 2018) – Firepower Records is thrilled to announce the tenth Volume of our Flatline Compilation, Flatline X, and we’ve decided to make this release unprecedented by asking some of our OG artists to send us their extra special Heat. Traditionally, the Flatline Compilation is reserved for the filthiest tracks produced by the new future of the Bass Music movement. But to celebrate our tenth edition, we thought it fitting to tap some of our most notorious heat-slingers and have them throw down a tune for us. And they absolutely wrecked shop.
JPhelpz returns to Firepower with “International”, and he, again, proves why he might be the most versatile bass music producer in the game. From his origins in Mech Bass, to his foray into Bass House, to this deep, wonky, UK dub inspired gem, JPhelpz cannot be stopped. “International” infects your soul and takes you low.
For “Shotgun”, DJ BL3ND and Rettchit team up with the lyrical machine gun MagMag for a massive bass bomb. The tune steps firmly on your throat and pushes. This is what you get when two of the most unapologetically sinister producers come together. “Shotgun” is what the name suggests—a shotgun blast to the body.
The clever and creative musical vision of Nato Feelz never disappoints, and he comes through with “System Error”. Nato Feelz has always pushed the boundaries of bass music, and he’s never allowed himself to be boxed in. “System Error” also showcases his skill with creating cinematic soundscapes that move us to our emotional core. Let this tune transport you to some alternate headbangers Universe.
Next up is “Fission”. Chime and Jarvis have taken UK Dubstep to the next level, and while the UK gets all the credit for putting bass music on the map, we look to these two British nationals as the lads that kept the fire going. Chime’s emphasis on Euphoric, melody-forward, sound design has earned him his own niche in the bass music world. Jarvis is the heavier and more aggressive balance to Chime, and his hard as nails approach works in tandem with Chime to make for an extremely satisfying tune. Wonderfully intoxicating and perfectly chaotic, the tune is an anthem, hands down.
Rounding out the EP is Rekoil, and it’s an absolute honor to have this OG Firepower artist back in the rotation. “THOSE ARE ALIENS!” is exactly what you needed. The tune walks expertly on the border between a bass banger and Riddim roller and the result is a rail-rider’s dream. Throw this on your setlist and watch the crowd deconstruct itself.

]]>“Ghost Boogie” starts out strong with a powerful guitar ballad riff, an homage to the heavy rock background of Hi I’m Ghost, and it will anchor the tune through it’s insane drops and expertly crafted synth designs. But what catches the conscience of the crowd is the precision of the audio engineering. Sounds layered together create an impenetrable wall of noise that rattles guts and claims souls simultaneously. It’s festival ready and will test the integrity of whatever speakers it’s pushed through.
“Pow Pow” can go ahead and claim it’s rightful position on your setlist. An ominous buildup hypnotizes the audience, dropping them into a vicious Riddim roller all at once. What follows is complete audio annihilation, and the pulsing synth constructions are designed to instigate egregious displays of gunfinger maneuvering. As with “Ghost Boogie” the prevailing characteristic of the tune is its creativity. The track pulverizes the audience with a range of clever design techniques, which will keep crowds hooked on every sound.

]]>Starting the EP is “League” featuring Datsik, and it’s a full-on audio assault. The tune leads in with a sinister buildup and drops straight into the purifying fires a bass fueled inferno. As the track cycles through various inventive beat structures, the alternating sound designs pioneered by both Carbin and Datsik engage with each other. The experience is like listening to two phenom musicians taking turns showing audiences the range of their musical potential. The result is a tune that is always reshaping itself into bigger and bigger drops.
“Twenty-2-Life” is Carbin at his most formidable. With a euphoric topline initiating the track and a powerful sub bass rumbling guts underneath, this future classic riddim roller is designed to leave audiences in puddles. Carbin’s notorious synth stabs only feeds the frenzy, and his wall-of-sound design technique ensures a total immersion in the tune. Carbin knows exactly what he wants to do, always has, and an even more acute sense of how he wants the audience to react. “Twenty-2-Life” is study in crowd control.
Next up is “Not Your ID”, and like “Twenty-2-Life” it pumps from the bottom to the top. A heavy sub-bass undergirds the tune, carrying it along like a deep ocean swell. Carbin sustains the wave with expertly arranged synth structures and layering designs that fill the entirety of the tune. As the track crashes onto audiences on the dance floor, they’re swept away into bass bliss.
“All Night”, featuring the crown prince of bass music lyricism, Armanni Reign, slows the flow of the EP down for a sexy trap-hop hybrid. Booties will drop, and as Carbin invites us to shed our often restricted day-time personas for the creative potential of our ratchet rave avatars, we’re reminded about the importance of getting deep, down, and low.
Ending the EP is “City Lights”, and it’s a gorgeous euphoric treatment of bass-hybrid theory. Similar to “All Night”, Carbin slows the dance floor down and centers the energy of the tune on the groove centers of our consciousness. These last two tunes reveal a musical intelligence that outstretches the frame of the genres in which Carbin produces. His range is unlimited and his style is impeccable, and both characteristics will carry Carbin into the upper echelons of Bass Music’s hall of heros very soon.

]]>“Pressure Plates”, the first track of the EP, is a triumphant, beautiful, and uplifting track balanced expertly with a powerful bass line and the signature wobbles that makes a Datsik tune so immediately recognizable. “Pressure Plates” is a peak hour weapon and is designed to leave crowds melted into puddles on dance floors.
There are a few producers whom Troy is observably in awe of. One of them is Virtual Riot. Last year, Virtual Riot joined Datsik’s Ninja Nation Tour and was often spotted providing free production tutorials on his laptop for any who would listen. Rumors about his ability to produce a tune on the road and then play it out that night increased the developing mythology surrounding him. So when Troy began to tease a massive collaborative project, the bass community went haywire. “Warriors of the Night” and “Freakuency” are those tunes, and they are as sinister and pulverizing as you can imagine. The tracks bring forth a few of the motifs pervasive in both the artist’s work–the Ninja and the customs surrounding this secretive warrior class and mosh pit inducing buzzsaw synth engineering. Samplings of traditional Japanese instrumentation create eerie and distant tones, but when the Riddim-inspired bass drops, it’s an all-out assault on your psychic core.
Datsik’s ability to merge the Rap and Dubstep world are the stuff of legend, and this EP reinforces that claim. Two tracks, “Bad Behavior” and “You’ve Changed” feature show-stopping Rap lyricism, and both are festival ready. For “Bad Behavior”, Datsik teams up with Ganja White Night and lyricist T Rabb, and this particularly lethal combination is a monster dead set on ripping your sanity apart. A big, bouncy bass line rolls underneath a generous sampling of Ganja White Night’s phenomenal production potential. Scorching synth stabs ignite the tune and T Rabb’s lyricism brings it to a white-hot heat. Ganja White Night has been making a steady rise through the industry, impressing promoters and talent buyers with their incredibly diligent work ethic and professionalism. No surprise Datsik brought them in for a collab.
The young Mech Hop King JPhelpz offers up his talents for “Ronin Riddim”, and the result is a satisfyingly crunchy romp through the Riddim equivalent of feudal Japan. JPhelpz has released prolifically with Firepower Records, and his skill has increased exponentially with each record. Datsik has cultivated his unique power, and it’s clear with this tune that JPhelpz is ready to be a Ronin—a masterless samurai. The tune is heavy, perfected, precise, but it’s the clever mech sound that shines through this riddim heater.
As a grand finale, Datsik harnesses the power of Excision and Dion Timmer for a collab that is specially designed for head banging. Might as well harness the potential energy of an exploding star, because this tune’s detonation will have lasting ripple effects across the dance music universe. The history Datsik and Excision share is legendary and well documented. With Dion Timmer’s fresh vision, the tune will not be stopped.

It’s an honor to have the “Head Crush” creator himself, BadKlaat, remixing “Monster”. Hailing from Gloucester in the UK, BadKlaat was responsible for fashioning riddim into what we know of it today and championing it to its current point of prominence. Innovative is an understatement, and his skill comes through immediately on this remix. BadKlaat begins the tune with a throwback hip-hop beat, a kind of homage to the old school hip-hop roots of Datsik, Jayceeoh and Redman
As he feeds into the drop, we hear the classic BadKlaat rhythm lead the tune over the top of a cheeky riddim roller. The result is entirely devastating. This has set-list weapon written all over it.
Dubloadz has spent his career breaking barriers in the bass music game. He’s a fierce enemy of the status quo, and just when audiences think they have him figured out, he rearranges everything like a constantly re-forming labyrinth. If a true measure of a producer’s prowess is how they handle a remix, this remix of “Monster” shows an artist who is at the height of his creative genius. The remix takes on a life of it’s own spurred by an almost complete re-working of the original components. Dubloadz grafts his own style and aesthetic over the top, interspersing his quintessential audio oddities and beat signatures throughout. He took the track nuclear, and now this monster is a world-consuming leviathan.
