RISING PRODUCER NEEK TO RELEASE A HARD TECHNO HEATER, "INSANE," VIA INSOMNIAC'S BASSCON RECORDS

The rising producer makes his Basscon debut with a heavy-hitting hardcore techno track.

California-based producer NEEK is set to make his debut on Basscon Records with his new hardcore techno single, “INSANE,” releasing July 26th.

Brimming with relentless energy, “INSANE” is a hard dance track forged from pure madness. The thrashing hardcore techno cut builds around manipulated organ synth

progressions, which help amplify the maddening appeal. A skull-cracking thump sits at the heart of the track, pushing things over the edge with distorted kicks, trippy vocal loops, shrieking synths, and blown-out low-end.

NEEK expresses his delight in cultivating an audience around the genre, saying, “I am very thankful for this opportunity. It’s an honor to be able to bring you guys this hard dance sound to America being that I grew up here all my life.”

Coming out of SoCal, NEEK is a rising producer in the hard dance realm with a focus on the hard techno sound. He’s carving out his own lane in the genre by leaning into a sinister, hard-hitting aesthetic. NEEK is slated to perform at Hard Dance NYC during the weekend of his new single on the label. His previous release “One Man Army” has amassed 1.7 million streams, and his music has reached 51.6 million views and 17.4 million combined creator reach on TikTok.

With “INSANE,” NEEK is carrying the torch of the current hard techno movement,

promising to deliver an electrifying experience that will make hard dance enthusiasts lose their minds.

Hailing from Southern California, DJ Neek is a formidable presence in the hard techno scene, known for his infectious beats and powerful productions. With viral hits like "One Man Army" and "Psycho," Neek has cemented his place as a driving force in the world of electronic music.

MERSIV AND EFFIN LOCK HORNS ON HEAD-SPINNING DUBSTEP COLLAB "BELONG TO ME" ON BASSRUSH RECORDS

The two bass music heavyweights split their innovative sounds with new single on Bassrush Records

Denver’s Mersiv and Nashville’s Effin are two of the hottest names in the world of bass music. The former has made his own lane using emotive soundscapes with mind-twisting sound design, while the latter is renowned for fusing vintage sounds with hard-hitting modern-day techniques. Their new collaboration “Belong To Me” balances their distinctive styles and arrives on Bassrush Records.

“Belong To Me” is a surreal bass single that’s commanding and explosive. Spiraling synth sequences and spellbinding vocal hooks create an eerie hypnotizing pull. The rock-influenced lead vocal is balanced against rap samples to add a grittier aesthetic. Driving drums and supersonic risers set the course before skyrocketing listeners into another dimension. The bass-heavy drops are an explosion of dubstep dominance that mixes fluttering sub-bass progressions, clattering percussion, laser-like flourishes, and brain-bending sound design. An emotive break welcomes back the cinematic air of the intro, allowing the namesake vocals to tug tighter at the soul. The pair hit the bass blasters once more for a retooled second drop that feels like swerving through the galaxy at warp speed. The echoed vocal bids listeners adieu as the track fades away like a spacecraft drifting into the abyss.

Effin explains the goal when bringing the song to life, saying, “Mersiv and I wanted to build something that was a pure 50/50 of our styles. Combining a bit of old-school sound with new punchy and crunchy production. This one really grabs you and hits you with a wall of sound, and it’s been crushing live, as well!”

Echoing his sentiments, Mersiv adds, “I’ve been an Effin fan for a couple years actually, and one day I commented on his post saying I loved his snares—and he hit back saying if we do a collab, I'll give you a snare, haha. So, here we are now about to release ‘Belong to Me!’”

Nashville producer Effin has been tearing through the bass scene with a heavy-hitting sound that moves from dubstep to trap, melodic bass, leftfield bass, and beyond. He’s gearing up for a stacked festival season with appearances at Bass Camp, Bass Canyon, and Lost Lands, and will be providing direct support for Tape B at 6 stops on his upcoming Fall Tour. The track follows Effin’s recent label debut “Take Two,” which drew support from Illenium, Deathpact, NGHTMRE, SLANDER, Doctor P, CRaymak, and more.

Denver-based producer Mersiv has become an immovable force in the dance music community with his signature sound, which has been dubbed as “pretty loud dark” bass music. Known for fusing emotive soundscapes with jaw-dropping sound design, his music has been championed by Zeds Dead, HEYZ, Liquid Stranger, Benzi, UKF, and more. He is fresh off of festival appearances at EDC Las Vegas and Forbidden Kingdom, and has upcoming shows at Lollapalooza, FVDED In The Park, Dancefestopia, and his own Stonehenge show at the Caverns.

“Belong To Me” bridges the gap between nostalgic allure and futuristic wonder, landing in a sweet spot that bass heads won’t be able to get enough of.
