The bass can be hypnotic, and a dancefloor can be the setting for a religious experience.
Kutmah has gained fans and prominence by finding the sanctity in the dirt. The DJ and producer humbly has one of the finest ears in modern music. Thankfully he was able to turn political exile from the United States (a big heartfelt middle finger to US Immigration policy) into opportunity. In 2013 Kutmah launced IZWID, a label that would serve as a physical incarnation of its founder's ear.
With a deep rolodex of peers, Kutmah side-stepped convention and chose relatively unknown Esgar as the label's first release. Hailing from Oxnard, the young Latino had been finding his own balance in the bass.
The eponymous four-song EP operates in subharmonics for the most part. In other words, this is about the bass. Forceful and energetic without being aggressive, these songs feel like an alien invasion. "Shockwave" sounds like the bass has come alive and is giving you the sweetest ass kicking of your life.
