Here’s some new heavy-hitting bass to start your week off! “Rave” // Sikdope “Give It To Me” // Yellow Claw. Let us know in the comments what you think of this Friday’s fresh tracks. Sophia Chartrand. Music Lover & HeadBanger Just a little alien dancing around the world.
Gaining traction and notability in a saturated market is not easy to do; taking creative risks and pushing the envelope of artistic creativity is pertinent in making one stand out. Ray Volpe, one of electronic music’s youngest & fastest rising talents, makes it look easy. Volpe paves the way by fusing sub-wrecking 808s with melodious synths and topping it off with his own vocals and lyricism. His emotionally unique sound is most frequently heard on his last few bodies of work - Reality EP, No Emotion Allowed EP, and All Emotion Allowed EP. His dedication to heavy bass music and the dubstep community is apparent in his recent Never Say Die! Records debut Purpose EP, a maniacal four-track EP filled with heart-palpitating bass lines and sinister synths. Catching the eye of some of the top players in the electronic world, Volpe has toured alongside Borgore, Kill The Noise, and Krewella to name a few and also holds a rolodex of official remixes for Marshmello, DJ Snake, The Chainsmokers, and more. Through consistent releases and the constant support from high-level DJs, there’s only up from here for the young artist. Catch Ray Volpe alongside Ubur on A Wholesome Gathering U.S Tour.

Young dubstep lord Ray Volpe is an EARMILK favorite for consistently pushing the boundaries of the genre of bass music. Today Ray presents his debut EP on SKisM's Never Say Die Records, Purpose, and we are honored to premiere the brain-rattling title track.
When 'Purpose' first landed in my obit, I have to admit I rewound and marveled at its surprise drop about six times before demanding that I premiere the track. I'd lost some interest in bass music recently, finding many of the offerings crossing my horizon to be utterly uninspired and formulaic. But I knew when new heat from Ray and NSD was on the way, he would flip the script. Out the gate swiftly with Armanni Reign on the assist with a furious flow, snarling 'light fires / this here just feels right / higher up amongst the clouds where we hid our dreams / and if I must protect em I will fight,' you know 'Purpose' is poised to be a raucous ride.
But nothing, and I mean NOTHING could have prepared me for what was to come around 1:45. The energy increases manically, and suddenly the image of those cybergoths raving under an underpass filled my brain. Is this... PSYTRANCE?! Yes folks, he's done the unthinkable. Sitting pretty at 150 throughout, Ray turns your brain to scrambled eggs, and calmly returns to dubstep business as usual as the track careens to a close.
