What does it mean to you to be a part of the Firepower 200 release?

To me, being on Firepower 200 is unbelievable. I never thought I’d be signed, to begin with, let alone the label featuring one of my releases as an all-time favorite. I am honored and humbled to be a part of the label’s history!

How did you initially get involved with Firepower?

Initially, I started by submitting to the labels demo email in 2015. One day they replied saying that I had good tracks but needed to work on my mix downs. In 2017, I met Zetta online and we became really good friends and he kind of became my teacher! We then worked on our collaboration “Sedona” that was later released on Shellshock Annihilation, as my first official Firepower Records release.

Your track “I.D.” is on the release. What was the production of approach for this track like?

Honestly, I never really liked “I.D.” because I felt it wasn’t up to par with some of my other tunes at the time. I started it from playing this game Crysis. As I was playing the game, I heard a voice say “Warning” in a really cool robotic tone. The game can be fairly fast-paced, so I made “I.D.” mid-tempo. I first started the intro and built the rest entirely around that while trying to visualize the game within my sounds. The track took about 3 to 4 months to finish because I’d get writer’s block constantly on it when I went to Zetta for some help. He threw the third drop together with my sounds, then did a quick master for me.

Where do you see the future of bass music progressing and how do you think Firepower will play a part in that?

I feel that the bass music industry will definitely grow. But to be completely honest, I can’t imagine what all could happen with it in the future. With the right support and the constant releases of massive tunes, Firepower will remain as one of the best labels out there by far. I plan on sticking around for a long while, so I’ll be here to help build the label, too!

Do you have any advice to share with up and coming producers?

This is a pretty common question I get from many upcoming producers. The biggest thing is that you need a strong brand that makes you different from everyone else – something that makes you unique, but also something fans can connect with. The second thing, is you have to have music that matches your brand entirely while keeping every release constant with “your sound”. For example, Kompany uses the same methods within his work and you can hear when his track is played just by the way it flows and sounds. After that, all I’d have to say is that you have to make friends, not fans. Every supporter is family to me, so I make sure to reach out and reply to everyone I can!

What’s next for Rettchit in 2019?

I’m not quite sure what’s to come in 2019 yet, but I feel this year will be big for growth. I’ll be working extra hard on new music and hopefully giving everyone a first look at the new merch my team and I have been working on. Plus, of course, playing shows here and there with hopefully a few festivals!

Firepower Records is set to release the 7^th installment of our Flatline Compilation on November 17^th, 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.

The tracklisting for Flatline Volume 7:

1. Felmax & Purge – “Gangsta”
2. Noya – “Sanctum”
3. Blaqout – “Filthy Friend Switch”
4. ORII – “Vicious”
