Minnesota is fast becoming one of the most notable producers in the West Coast bass music movement. His sound breaks away from the various subgenres of EDM, but holds onto origins of dubstep and hip-hop, with the aim of creating a truly authentic experience for his audience. This is exactly the type of originality that Liquid Stranger’s imprint WAKAAN aims to champion, which is why Minnesota’s Dark Crystal has been snapped up by the label as their very latest release.
Currently finishing off his sixth year of touring and with five innovative EP’s already in the bag, Minnesota is holding back none of his creative energy with Dark Crystal. Building momentum with a rolling trap flow, Dark Crystal plunges in to a dubstep-infused drop which shows off Minnesota’s production talent. Twisting and turning through an ear-popping journey of sound design genius, the addition of clear, snappy drums and stuttered riffs make this a top-tier bass track.
Minnesota delivers the goods once again, with a kind of focus and razor-sharp precision that’s giving the top bass hustlers a run for their money.
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
