UKF dropped this collab and the two names alone made me hit play before I even read the title. Of The Trees brings that murky, woodsy texture he’s built a whole identity around, and Tape B brings the kind of low end that rearranges your insides at a festival. Brackish is the perfect name for it because the whole track sits in that brackish zone where pretty melodic design meets absolutely filthy bass design. The intro lulls you into thinking this is going to be a gentle one, then the first drop shows up and removes that idea entirely. What I love is how much space they leave around the bass hits, so every wub actually lands instead of smearing into mud. This is festival sub-bass that still has a brain attached. Two of the most interesting people in American bass music linking up was always going to produce something worth posting. Crank it on a real system, because headphones will lie to you about how heavy the bottom end really is.
