Looking for the heaviest hitters in underground bass music? Look no further than Generation I from the mysterious arrival. – a curated compilation of our favorites names in glitch hop and neurohop. A crash landed ship hauling the prized goods of J.Lang, Sqonk, Fika, Crawdad Sniper, Ginseng, Shep, Hokey Boi, and more.
With the impending departure of Tipper, producers across the globe scramble to fill the void and pay tribute to the monolith figure, Dave Tipper.
Today’s we’re blessed to uncover a transmission from the future of glitch hop and neuro bass, a transmission extending light years away from modern day Earth, a statement confirming that Tipper was only the beginning. Only the genesis of a movement that exists in galaxies far, far away.
A movement of laser-precision sound design, bone bunting bass, and translatable, alien squelches. Are we ready?
Track’s like J.LANG’s “Like This” prove to commandeer listeners as our digital vessel corrupts into cyberspace after a bad export. Gurgling and squelching, the track breathes with artificial life and drools with digital decay and malfunction. Like applying automatic driving to your Tesla on winding, country roads. Will you survive? The track insists we hold on for dear life. Hard when you’re made of pixels.
Next, we’re abducted abroad the spacecraft of Sqonk, a PA native who pushes the parameters of halftime with funky, glitched grooves and sound design straight from the riverside swamps of the Susquehanna. Sqonk, a versatile producer proves why he calls halftime home, delivering dank, digital download speeds over his tearout track “Brain Sludge”. Never a disappointing moment from a hardworking producer, releasing some five EP’s in the past year. Congrats Brodie, strong work.
After Sqonk, you’ll pause to see what church you’ve just been transported, but have no fear, Sqonk’s dropping listeners off at Crawdad Sniper’s mass to receive a blessing. And boy are we blessed. Beckoning bass lines, a colossal kick, whizzing wubs, and the Sunday School sample instruct listeners to stay engaged. A powerful combination of religious high magick and ironically a little witchcraft, but we won’t tell anyone. Especially not a priest.
J.LANG, Sqonk, and crawdad sniper back to back. Can you ask for anything more on this halftime hallelujah? I was hooked after the three-peat victory. Generation I bangs. If you’re looking for the most competitive sounds in the glitch hop universe, X marks the spot with Generation I.
And we love to see how arrival. hinted a Generation II?
Like Terminator 2, I love a good sci-fi sequel.
