Each artist will answer 5 questions to best of their ability. Sometimes the questions will require an in-depth answer, and sometimes not. The artists do not know the questions ahead of time, so the answers might be a bit crazy. Hopefully, we’ll all get to know something about the Firepower Artists as we put their asses in Firepower Hotseat.

First up: Spag Heddy

Your EP, Gypsi Thug, is a melting pot of European Culture, from your name, Spag Heddy, to your self described love of pasta, to the title of the EP and the sound of the title track. How did you decide in the direction of this EP?

This EP contains both my classic and new sounds and arrangements. It’s the same ol’ cheesy Spag Heddy, but well-armed.

What are your top 5 pastas in descending order. 

1. Spaghetti 2. Conchiglie  3. Macaroni 4. Fusilli 5. Penne

If you could make a very special Spaghetti dinner for two famous people, living or dead, who would they be and why?

Scarlett Johansson because much wow and Jesus Christ because eternal spaghetti. 

When we think Dutch dance music, usually we think of the “Van Clan” (Van Dyke, Van Doorn, Van Reil, etc) and Big Room Progressive house. Does Bass music get overshadowed in the Netherlands? 

Big room and techno are definitely overshadowing bass music in NL. But there is a really solid underground bass music scene too, where D&B has always been the biggest and steadiest force. Not weird if you see we’ve got legends like Noisia and Black Sun Empire up our sleeves.

What are your top 3 guilty pleasure songs?

1. Darude – Sandstorm 2. Zebrahead – Postcards From Hell 3. Paul Potts – Nessun Dorma

Firepower Records will release Spag Heddy’s Scorching new EP Gypsi Thug on August 7th. Don’t Sleep on this! 

“Prologue” ignites the EP with a serious round of mind shredding synth arrangements. Spag Heddy’s talent in the realms of melodic bass music production comes through as he treats the track with a catchy and soaring top-line. But the tune quickly turns a filthy corner, and, once the bass drops, Spag Heddy’s attention turns towards dance floor annihilation. In “Make U Jump”, Spag Heddy keeps his foot on the throttle and does not let up. It’s an all-out attack on the citadel of your senses, and the machine-gun synths spit fire until the clips are empty and barrel is red-hot. As Bass music DJs continue to evolve the live show experience, they are increasingly reaching deeper into their collection for tracks certified to keep heads rolling and fans losing their minds. Spag Heddy’s attention to detail and his work with a diverse range of samples and sound designs make this the kind of track modern bass DJs will rely on for their biggest festival sets.

Spag Heddy takes “Bad Boi” in a new direction by choosing a Hip Hop beat structure and slowing it down. Then he adds a nasty sub bass that rattles your guts to pieces. The result is a boundary pushing Bass music masterpiece. It resists any genre classification and instead treats the audience to an impressively original and irresistible piece of Bass music. There’s no doubt Spag Heddy’s intention was to bring people to their knees with this one.

Finally, “Gypsi Thug” ties the EP together with a thematic interpretation of what Dubstep would sound like if a caravan of mercenaries were marauding through the frontiers of Eastern Europe. The track is bouncy and playful while also maintaining a distinctly cultural sound. Do not take the track for granted though; as soon as you settle in on the Gypsi music leading the tune, Spag Heddy nails your brain to the wall with a massive Dubstep breakdown.

The tracklisting for Gypsi Thug is:

1. Spag Heddy – “Prologue”
2. Spag Heddy – “Make U Jump”
3. Spag Heddy – “Bad Boi”
4. Spag Heddy – “Gypsy Thug”
