Aquadrop brings the Bassline pressure.


Aquadrop -"Brukout" by Trenchant
Aquadrop’s recently rise in popularity may be due to a lot of different variables. Having a track included on Starkey’s recent mix for Self-Titled Magazine, or getting hype (and plays) from El-B, surely doesn’t hurt. Beyond the buzz and recent exposure is the main ingredient to Aquadrop’s recent rise in profile – the tracks. Aquadrop has a keen sense for finding what works. This new single is a perfect example. “Brukout” is a floor-smashing 4x4 bassline track. Many of his signature elements are here in one form or another. Warping bass, punchy and present drums and a filtered vocal loop create a pounding high-energy peak time tune. “Waves” on the other hand is a chilled-out groove featuring sweet and beautiful vocals from Italy’s Vanelitne. “Waves” has a great sing-song chorus, and could be considered as a perfect summer soundtrack. Finally, “Beautiful Girls” takes another step forward in Aquadrop’s recent direction of dubstep/2-step crossover. All the tracks included here are solid and well produced and show that this young producer shows no signs of settling for average, but rather continues to constantly push himself further.
