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.

]]>“Diamonds In My Mouth” leads the EP with a massive Riddim Roller, executed brilliantly against the backdrop of an epic cinematic soundscape. Huge, horrifying synth constructions shear through this track, severing sanity and urging on uncontrollable rail-riding. Michael White is all business. He’s got his foot on your throat and he’s pushing. It’s bonkers.
Michael White teams up with GARABATTO for “Make the Hit”, and although he slows down his vibe here, the bass gets deep, down, and low. There’s a subtle Moombahton swerve that makes the track sexy and intoxicating. This track is perfect for a mid set cool down, a groove-laden intermission, or for hooking up with your boo on the dancefloor. However you choose to enjoy this tune, it’ll melt your face.
For “Moves”, Michael White reveals his Bass House chops, and they are formidable. We even went to Bass House officiandos Ephwurd to get the low down. “Yep,” they confirm. “We play lots of his songs. We played ‘Moves’ on our summer festival sets.” Big and bouncy, “Moves” isn’t just extremely danceable, it’s an anthem, with all the components of a 2018 song of the year. We think you’ll agree.
Squaring out the EP is “Pleasure”, a collaboration with Rob Gasser. The result is a fun, melodic romp balanced against the heavier synth engineering of Michael White. This makes the tune frenetic and wild, moving audiences from one side of the emotional spectrum to the other in a mater of minutes. It’s a hugely enjoyable dance floor experience.

]]>“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.

The first tune on the EP, “Illuminacity”, launches us into deep space with a heavy Dubstep heater. The G-force created by an oppressive combination of a high pressure-bass line and white-hot synth constructions slams the listener to floor. It’s a filthy tune to begin the EP, but it sets a no-bullshit tone right up front.
Next up is “Nibiru”, and there is nowhere to hide from the cataclysm this tune promises to bring. Named after the Conspiracy Theory, Nibiru is the potential world-ending event where an Extra Terrestrial mass, Planet X, crashes into Earth or comes close enough to it to cause massive disruptions. If that event had a soundtrack, “Niburu” would be it. A thick synth section scorches the top of a massive riddim roller. If true, there’d be no hope for humanity, so why no go out headbanging?
For “Good Fellas”, Extra Terra collaborated with Bawdy, and the result is an immense interstellar romp. Big and bouncy, the tune hits hyperspace early and does not stop. This is a true dance-floor destroyer and a go-to track for hyping a crowd on the verge of a Riddim feeding frenzy.
Squaring out the EP is “Prototype”. Extra Terra teamed up with Barenhvrd for this, and the combined potential energy of this track is that of a stellar bomb. A wall of sound pulses through the tune, and the rolling bassline disrupts your magnetic fields. Railriders beware; this tune may cause personal injury. Grab on tight and get ready for blast-off.

]]>Los Angeles (November 13, 2017) – Firepower Records is set to release London Nebel’s debut EP, Propaganda, on November 24th. Hailing from Berlin, this duo possesses a rare genius level talent when it comes to bass music production, and with this project they remind us that the highly conceptualized form of art that is EP construction is not dead. Propaganda pursues the paradox of reality and the failure of online technology to mend our fractured selves or to make us freer, better people. Firepower hasn’t released an EP this deep, dark, and stylized since Truth’s Hollow World EP. With Propaganda, London Nebel uses their talent to do what art should do—put a mirror up to reality and do the tough work of telling us who we are in this present historical moment.
The first track, “Propaganda”, comes out swinging. As London Nebel sears their chainsaw synths into our brain cases, they deliver a potent message using expertly selected samples from across the media universe. By enhancing their subversive messaging with a masterful production technique, they reveal themselves as clairvoyant musical story-tellers. From the sub-basement beat constructions to the searing synth stabs, “Propaganda” will infect your entire mind, body, and soul. Make sure you peep Rekoil’s insane remix of this tune, which rounds out the EP. Rekoil’s sonic vision launches the tune into hyperspace, and it gains a much harder and nastier edge.
“Mothership” ventures deep into the dark matter of Space. A playfully ominous series of stabs create a dark and sinister vibe characteristic of the deep dub of the UK underground. The tune employs a filthy buzzsaw synth construction which London Nebel tweaks until its melody takes control of the entire body.
As the EP progresses, London Nebel continues to unravel the fragile illusion of self. “Confusion” is a warning translated into the language of wubby Dubstep. London Nebel takes their time with this tune, weaving a sonic narrative out of sub bass and nightmarish growls. Their attention to detail here is superb. From the subtle tinkering taking place just below the surface to the perfectly placed vocal sample, the result is a track that transcends your run-of-the-mill headbanger.
London Nebel’s “Looney Tune” continues to travel down that dark and shadowy road. A rainstorm sweeps in, leaving the average Dubstep daytripper woefully unprepared for the insanity that pours from the track. A beloved classical piano section floats through the background of the tune, increasing the theme of social isolation weaving the EP together. But when Disney’s Goofy breaks in unexpectedly, your psyche snaps, and it’s madness that reigns. With early support from a handful of Bass Music’s elite including Dubloadz, this tune has already scorched the bass music landscape.
