Dirt Monkey feat. Mississippi The Truth - Marshmallows
Read more . . . →WAKAAN has carved out a specific niche — bass music that’s weird enough to be interesting and heavy enough to still move a room — and “Marshmallows” by Dirt Monkey featuring Mississippi The Truth is a good encapsulation of why that niche matters. The name is deceptive. There is nothing soft about this track. The bass weight is substantial, the production is genuinely strange in places, and Mississippi The Truth’s feature adds a human dimension that most experimental bass tracks don’t bother attempting.

SubDocta - Pull Up To The Party
Read more . . . →Third SubDocta drop from the WAKAAN run, and this one actually sounds like a party, unlike the other two which sounded more like a science experiment that got loose. SubDocta — real name Preston Charles — basically coined his own lane and called it “West Coast Wobble,” which is the most honest genre name in bass music because that’s exactly what it is: thick, gummy, rubber-band low end with a sense of humour built into it.
