The Montreal-based duo and Mexico City’s dubstep powerhouse connect for a festival destroyer. Montreal-based duo Adventure Club and Mexico City native Jessica Audiffred are uniting for a festival-ready dubstep destroyer on Bassrush Records. “HERO” is a relentless rager that mixes classic reese bass builds with raucous riddim. The release marks Jessica’s fifth single on the label and follows her most recent collaboration “Dale” with Riot Ten. Primed for festival season domination, “HERO” is a weapon of track that fuses the talents of Adventure Club and Jessica Audiffred exceptionally. The revving reese basses set the tone, as breakbeat drums and pitched vocals enhance the excitement. As the tension hits its climax, the track descends into a cacophony of drilling industrial sound design, laser synths, punching percussion, and guttural low-end. The explicit out-of-breathe pre-drop vocals match the pace and intensity while distorted chants amplify the anthemic appeal. “HERO” is an impenetrable force with villainous undertones proving that, sometimes to overcome evil, you need to embrace it. Taking listeners on a rollercoaster riddled with heart-pumping highs and sinister drops, the collaboration is primed to take over the summer. Touching on the excitement of their new collab, Adventure Club says, “It’s incredibly exciting to have another release with Jessica! She’s so talented and we hope all our fans enjoy ‘HERO.’ Jessica Audiffred echoes their anticipation, stating, “The followup to our last collab, this one is a lot heavier than the last and very recognizable from our live sets. We already know you guys love it; excited to finally make it available to you all.” Adventure Club is a Grammy-nominated production duo hailing from Montreal. The pair first connected in a pop punk band before refining their vision in the electronic space. The duo have become internationally renowned for their expansive sound that ranges from festival-ready dubstep to melodic EDM. Adventure Club are hot off of their 25-stop ‘Heroes & Villains’ Tour and are gearing up for their headline show at LA Historic Park, as well as festival dates at EDC Las Vegas, Forbidden Kingdom, Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge, and Dancefestopia. Mexico’s crown jewel Jessica Audiffred has risen to the top of the ranks of the dubstep scene with her bass-heavy sound. Her music has gained support from some of the scene’s foremost tastemakers including Excision, Doctor P, Illenium, and Hekler. She is riding high off her debut headline show at Hollywood Palladium, as part of her immersive ‘Mad House’ Tour, and is sitting on a stacked run of festival dates including EDC Las Vegas, Forbidden Kingdom Festival, Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge, Bonnaroo, and Ubbi Dubbi. “HERO” is a destructive dubstep weapon that is built to take over the impending festival season.

The spiritual successor to “FRACTALS” arrives on February 16th, 2024. Subtronics, the maestro of bass music, has once again embarked on a journey into the realm of unstable particles with the announcement of his highly-anticipated sophomore album, “TESSERACT.” Following the success of his debut album, “FRACTALS,” released just over two years ago, Subtronics is gearing up to unveil the next chapter in his musical odyssey. Scheduled to drop on Friday, February 16th, “TESSERACT” not only shares its name with the bass music superstar’s current tour but also promises to redefine the boundaries of his sonic universe. The year 2024 has already proven to be a whirlwind for Subtronics, who recently announced his fourth Red Rocks takeover, “Cyclops Rocks,” and unleashed his second collaboration with Rezz, titled “Black Ice.” Reflecting on “TESSERACT,” Subtronics expressed his vision for the album as a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution. “I hope [TESSERACT] leaves a long-lasting impact on the listener and the dance music community as a whole. It is truly something I can look back on in 30 years and still be proud of because I know that this is the sound I am truly passionate about, and I really gave it my everything. This album is my second child, more than two years in the making, and I poured everything I could into it.” In conjunction with the album, the team behind Cyclops Recordings has meticulously crafted a bespoke audiovisual experience, perfectly complementing the otherworldly essence of “TESSERACT.” Commenting on the album’s sonic landscape, Subtronics elaborated, “Sonically speaking, I believe this wholly represents my personality and sound as best as I can thus far, with the things I have learned over the years, in conjunction with what I have recently been inspired by. ‘TESSERACT’ is a proper sequel to my first album ‘FRACTALS,’ and in the same sense, I once again aimed to demonstrate my range in style, sound, and emotion. Some songs are meant for the dancefloor, some are meant for the car, and some are meant to serenade you to sleep. I am trying as best I can to create an immersive alternative reality with a magical yet sci-fi-esque world of energy and feeling across the entire spectrum.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Subtronics (@subtronics)

Maya Jane Coles releases the next project under her Nocturnal Sunshine alias, joining forces with mysterious rapper CHA$EY JON£S on brand-new EP ‘LDN’, out now. Growing up in west London in the mid-00s, much of Maya’s influences were within the rap and hip-hop worlds, something reflected in this latest EP, ‘LDN’ which offers fans a rarely-seen glimpse into what Maya might sound like if she hadn’t pursued a career in electronic music. Under the Nocturnal Sunshine moniker, Maya explores grittier musical themes and on ‘LDN’ has teamed up with rapper, actor (Top Boy, I May Destroy You), and childhood friend CHA$EY JON£S, to redress the balance. Having originally made music together while at school in London, ‘LDN’ represents a full circle moment for both artists. The pair previously connected on the 2019 Nocturnal Sunshine album Full Circle, on tracks such as ‘Fuck Fame’, ‘Dash’ and ‘Bandit’. A five-track release, ‘LDN’ is a slick, downbeat hip-hop record. Kicking things off, the title track immediately sets the tone, pairing smooth production with even smoother bars courtesy of Cha$ey. Continuing with this energy is ‘No Smoke’, while ‘Really Really’ brings darker, menacing energy. ‘Tralalala’ is the most maximalist track on the EP, before ‘CHA$EY’ ensures things close out on a memorable note. “It feels amazing to finally be able to share this EP with you all,” says Maya. “The Nocturnal Sunshine x CHA$EY JON£S project is something very close to my heart. I was producing hip-hop years before I ever got into electronic/club music, it was my first musical love. Not only that but Cha$ey and I used to make music together when we were 15 and we even started a rap duo back then. Years later, to be making music again with one of my best mates feels like magic. ‘LDN’ is a collection of the first tracks we made when we started working together again. We’ve been working on so much material and this is only the beginning of what’s to come.” It’s been more than ten years since British-Japanese artist Maya Jane Coles unleashed the modern house classic ‘What They Say’. She has since shifted the focus towards her Nocturnal Sunshine project, collaborating with the likes of Peaches, Miss Kittin and Young M.A. among others. Maya Jane Coles demonstrates her versatility as an artist with this slick collaborative EP released under her Nocturnal Sunshine alias.
