Even if Mersiv did a three hour set up white noise I would come just to see him vibe up there behind the decks. Don't even get me started on his actual music. VIBES.
Favorite track: Ultimate Dragon.
Mersiv returns with his latest release on WAKAAN, recruiting several Colorado acts for his Legion Of Boom EP. Each song on the four-track behemoth features a collaboration from Wriza, Killa Nova, Opalyte, and Chill Bobby, and offers a wide variety of thunderous sounds we’ve come to expect from Mersiv’s "Pretty Dark Loud” style of bass music.
“The Prologue” kicks off Legion of Boom and features the unrelenting sound design and wicked basslines of Sub.mission alumni Wriza. Alongside Mersiv, the two create a hard-hitting, ominous introduction. “Go Down” builds on the bouncy, old-school dubstep hype of previous hits like “Get Crazy,” and recruits the talents of Houston-raised producer Killa Nova. Mersiv and Opalyte take a synth and melody laden approach on “Ultimate Dragon,” which combines Denver’s Opalyte’s astral dubstep style with grungy basslines. The EP wraps up with former “Beautiful & Filthy” collaborator Chill Bobby, who peppers swag-filled bars over a high powered warp into bass.
Legion of Boom serves as a sampler to the diversity of Mersiv's style and adds to the acclaim of his MorFlo Records collective in Colorado.

These five tracks tell a lucid story with tones and textures, AND nearly demand you move your body during each piece.
This EP calls between critical nodes of musical DNA that link together many of my favorite parts of the electronic scene.
Good for a party with that edgy energy, a firespin, or night drive! David Rees

I don't need the members of any community discarded and body othered as a bitch, thanks of the trees for helping me realize there's no point in bass music that I need to hear someone slip the word into my eardrum. cya. BeatsaNdBuds
