about

This Friday (September 18, 2020), auspicious Dubstep visionary Mersiv returns with a healing collab project with peer virtuoso, Fryar. Finding placement on WAKAAN’s cathartic 2020 catalogue, Paradise routes energy to fans over two sonically robust bass tracks.

The Mersiv Sound Project is the brainchild of Anderson Benoit Gallegos, who has been developing his own unique, “pretty-dark-loud” style of bass music. Since setting off on this journey in 2015, he’s enveloped his music in an intention of bringing people into the present moment through an immersive experience. Fryar is the electronic project of Matthew Fryar. Based out of South Carolina, the producer aims to capture hip-hop oriented, underground beats with melancholy driven melodies to showcase a contrast between disoriented sound design and polished harmonies. While the two have previously toured and performed together, this is their first original collaboration.

The Paradise EP opens with a powerful title track that helps set the healing intentions of this ambitious, yet brief project. The production opens to a spacy, harmonious soundscape; looming sonic aesthetics that serve as clouds to the distant, warped bass that begins to creep in. Hip-hop vocals fade in as weaponized synthes and bass begin to layer in progressively. The vocals echo in introspective messages to the listener as the music becomes more momentous, delivering titanic and percussive waves of emotion throughout the build. The track takes over a minute before the 1:20 mark delivers a riveting and electric drop, one that ricochets vibrant sounds like water fleeing from a puddle splash.

The second track is “In Motion,” which Mersiv has been teasing on socials and in sets since 2019. Whereas the first track is more vocal in its intention, song no.2 opts to fully flush out the colossal production style that the project finds its backbone. The production similarly wades in via a distorted style, but rather than wait a full minute-plus to deliver, it explodes at the :40 mark. The result is an overwhelming flood of music, washing over the listener in a therapeutic burst of energy.

Paradise exhibits what’s exciting about bass music today; music that is fueled by macro-intended vitality, but can provide something intimate and personal all the same.

“With both songs, Andy and I wanted to convey a healing/uplifting sense towards the listeners. During the current time and political climate we feel like positive music is necessary for us that want to see better days.” —Fryar

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!

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

I keep playing and playing this over and over again. Sometimes more often than others but I always seem to come back for that inner geometric reset of the hologram 👽I feel like I’m listening to the best representation of light = electricity = what we are 🙌 been following David’s story for 20+ since London days. There’s no fav one for me, the geometry comes full circle and it’s perfect! The joy is in the mystery my fellow beings ☀️ Papas
