Two of bass music’s most enigmatic and creative producers have crafted an extraterrestrial terror trip on this bizarre, surprising release.
Space Jesus and Digital Ethos share a knack for producing heavy, mind-warping tunes, with crushing basslines, and distorted hip-hop samples. Their partnership is a match made in heaven.
But this EP exploded out of left-field and stunned us by being not just heavy but free-form and deftly experimental.
“This is a Signal“ sounds like the Nostromo crew scanning the eerie uncharted planet in Ridley Scott’s classic Alien. It’s pulsing, menacing low-end bile ripples and skips before completely unhinging into the cold drift of space. The sampled voices that whisper “unidentified” and “danger” couldn’t be more accurate.
The second track, “Gang Fire,” calls “ya ya ya ya” as the sound design becomes monolithic and downright evil. The production is kind of remarkable in that it sets a tense, disgusting atmosphere without showing its cards.
Each producer added up to more than a sum of their parts. Instead of two enormous bangers, we have two songs that succeed in crafting a visceral, unsettling experience. The layering, feeling, and attention to detail is not of this world and sets a new creative benchmark for these weird bass mavens.
