One of India’s scene-shaping figures of bass music, Sound Avtar aka Piyush Bhatnagar from Mumbai is back with his second single of 2020 titled – ‘Your Love‘. ‘Your Love’ is unapologetically groovy and yet completely unrelenting. With every single hit of the drum feels like a punch to the chest, the tempo is fast and merciless, it actually has a more chill vibe. Still more than suitable for the dancefloor, Sound Avtar took a few cues from his previous heavier originals in smoothing out both his bassline and synths while designing the background sound so that there’s no mistaking that this ..read more

It’s like a character I don’t want to play anymore or have any belief in,” he wrote. “I never thought I’d reach a point where I truly believed my dream was dead, but I have. Even before 2020, in the depths of the last year ..read more

When ‘Insane’ was first teased in Calcium’s Teeth N’ Bones Vol. 4 mix last year, I was blown away by the monstrous impact of the track. The pairing of the soothing vocals that build the energy gradually from a melody-driven piece to a catastrophic dubstep banger is unparalleled in today’s sound design-focused scene, and we’ve been itching for the full release ever since. Don’t get me wrong — not all dubstep tracks needs to have a melody. But at the same time, there’s no denying that a melodic drop & a heavy drop are two very different beasts, and melody adds a huge component to the ove ..read more
