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.

]]>Firepower Records is set to release the 7th installment of our Flatline Compilation on November 17th, 2017, and it features a squadron of next generation battle-ready bass bombardiers. Since its inception, the Flatline Compilation has featured the brightest and most diverse new talents emerging in the bass music world. Don’t be fooled—the names you see on the track list may be new, but one spin of the track and it’s clear these artists are wise beyond their years.
First up is Felmax and Purge with “Gangsta” and it’s a trippy Trapstyle heater. Deep sub-bass structures roll underneath a sinister series of nightmarish synth stabs. The expert lyricism haunts the tune, and as the massive drop hits, you’re already trapped in a gangsta’s bad dream.
Noya comes out swinging with “Sanctum”. A filthy dub-riddim hybrid beat is punctuated with a scorching synth construction designed to level entire city blocks. There are sections of this tune powerful enough to brings dance floors to their knees instantaneously, which makes this track a must-have set-list weapon.
Blaqout’s “Filthy Friend Switch” reveals a producer in complete control over his production abilities. No surprise there, he’s been crushing the bass music game for a while now. This tune is immensely creative, technically complex, and proves Blaqout is ready for the main stage.
Orii is not playing around when it comes to “Vicious”. With years of professional production mastery under his belt, ORII recently switched gears and is investing his encyclopedic knowledge and phenom-level talent into bass music—this tune is the result. Microscopic in his approach to track engineering, the tune goes through multiple iterations of bass music vibes and ultimately lands on a metal-inspired double up designed to ignite crowds into a frenzied madness.

]]>Los Angeles (June 12, 2017) – Firepower Records is set to release the 6th installment of our Flatline Compilation on June 30th, 2017, and it’s filthier than ever. Since its inception, the Flatline Compilation has featured the brightest and most diverse new talents emerging in the bass music world. Many of our featured artists have since moved on to land record deals with us and find themselves on the world’s largest festival stages. Don’t be fooled—the names you see on the track list may be new, but one spin of the track and it’s clear these artists are wise beyond their years.
Carbin’s “GOMD” featuring Trvma is filthy right out the gate and pushes a Riddim style beat structure. The track rages through various synth arrangements and a sinister vocal sample pulses along with the intention of causing involuntary head nods. The track shifts mid-stream, and that head nod gets real aggressive, real quick.
Next, Cherney comes through with his classic dub anthem “Fatal Fury”. The dubstyle vocals lace the track with a throwback reggae vibe, but as the drop hits, everything goes ballistic. Cherney cleverly cycles through an electric guitar riff that adds a level of complexity to the tune.
Chompa’s “Fed Up” follows the compilation’s dub reggae vibe, but the chill tone is demolished almost immediately with a heavy AF dubstep beat and pulverizing synth engineering. The track rests for a moment, allowing the listener to catch their breath, but the pressure is quickly reapplied, and there’s no escaping its grip.
Squaring out the compilation is KTRL. His tune “Reign” reveals a producer with a mastery of the craft. The tune moves through a number of classic examples of bass music wizardry, and KTRL proves his engineering prowess with the use of intricate sound designs placed perfectly through the track.

There are two of you representing the force behind Zetta. How did this project come together?
This all started around October when I found Matt’s music on a Soundcloud recommendation. I made a “Spotlight” for him then we became friends, did few collabs on our own projects, and then we decided we should work more closely together.
“Ice Shield” is a crusher of a track, where’s the name from, and how does the name represent the sound?
Nothing really, lol. ‘Ice Shield’ was the name of the project and it was never meant to be the final track name haha! 12th Hour liked this name too so we just kept it this way.
What’s next for you? Where can we see you play next?
A lot of stuff is coming up from us next actually! We just finished our debut EP and already started this new massive second EP with our buddy 12th Hour. We plan to make a lot of music with friends from Firepower Records squad! Unfortunately, we can’t travel yet because we’re underage. If we got the chance to travel, we would love to travel all the world together.
If you were making a compilation for a person you were trying crush on, what would be the first song and why?
Spicy question you got there haha! I think we would put Sex Whales & Fraxo’s “Dead to Me”. Why? Just in case they cheat on us.
If there was a hostage situation and you could blast any song over a massive speaker system that would wear the Hostage taker down psychologically until they just finally gave up, what song would it be and why?
Definitely Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”! I think they would release us ASAP just to get home, get on YouTube, and like that song!
]]>The question becomes “what do you do when you have a surplus of so much bass?” You bundle it all together and light it up. And that’s exactly what we did with these four choice tracks from some established firepower fam members and some artists fresh to the label. This collection exhibits our desire for the deeper, minimal, less mainstream and more underground sounds, and it challenges listeners to think twice about entrenching so hard in any particular part of the Bass music spectrum. We are therefore proud to announce the much anticipated 3rd volume of our Flatline Compilation.
Starting the compilation is a scorching VIP cut of “Recon” from two of Firepower’s most prolific producers—Protohype and PhaseOne. Chances are good you lost your mind to the original when it dropped on our Shellshock Legends compilation in May of last year. Turbocharge it, attach a jet engine to it, and you’ll come close to an idea of what this VIP might sound like. It’s all energy. Did you expect anything less from two of the most energetic producers in the bass music game?
It’s an honor to have Jarvis with us on the compilation. Last year, a call went out to remix Datsik’s global banger “Katana” from his Down 4 My Ninjas EP, and Jarvis answered the call in a fury we didn’t expect. “I’m on fire” showcases that talent. He displays an impressive range of production techniques, a clean vocal sample, and a diverse beat sequence. His synth layering shows a clear ear for musicianship, and his ability to construct a wall of sound makes this track festival ready right out the door. Expect big things from this up-and-comer.
We’re also stoked to have Zetta and 12th Hour with us on the compilation. “Ice Shield” is a heavy, buzzsaw-to-the-braincase track loaded to the max with enough audio ammo to re-calibrate even the most advanced soundsystems. Eerie and sinister, the track is a foot to the throat that only let’s up enough to let you breathe before it slams you again.
Krimer rounds out the compilation with “Bone Crusher”. We’ve been waiting a long time to get Krimer’s music out to the world, and given the insanity this track brings, the wait was worth it. The beat is frenetic yet fluid, never at ease with settling in. The synth is playfully aggressive, a kind of masochistic impulse that hurts so good. There’s a creative mind at work here, and the unique sound designs show a producer pushing the barriers of bass music.

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 artists fresh to Firepower Records. This collection exhibits our desire for the deeper, minimal, less mainstream and more underground sounds, and it challenges listeners to think twice about entrenching so hard in any particular part of the Bass music spectrum. We are therefore proud to announce the much anticipated 2nd volume of our Flatline Compilation.
Starting off the compilation is bass music phenom Ponicz with his track “Pump This”. But with the amount of filth this track packs you’d never know he’s a newcomer. With a perfect selection of dirty-talking samples and a swampy, grimey beat structure, Ponicz unleashes a rage-ready banger. Vyill ups the vocal sample game by a long shot with “Dangerous Games” featuring OmegaMode. The track turns the audience into voyeurs peering into a secret world that is strange yet familiar. As the vocal sample moves through the introduction of the song, the beat builds, and it seems like it’s our own heartbeat racing in our hiding spot afraid of being caught. But the synth arrangements are superbly constructed it’s not long before the beat drops and our heads are banging.
Audiowrx comes through with “Clockwrx”, a scorching Dubstep weapon that fits into any bass heavy set. The track bounces through a sinister synth topline before suddenly upping the BPM’s. It’s a good move and induces rabid states of rage on anyone in its path. Dr. Ozi keeps the BPMs high and the pressure on with “Pollux”. The track features a clever DnB trip beat that changes the way audiences feel the groove of a bass track. It’s deliberately jarring, but it’s super dancey and increases the adrenaline of an already frenzied dancefloor.
