Making a stride in sharing Queer & Femme Artists in Bass Music
For the ones who want to escape into the mystical forces
Prepare yourself to channel your energy and become your most carefree self. Bass n Babes delivers a perfect selection of tracks for anyone to feel their inner mystical powers. While a wide range to indulge in, there is a track to tap into different forces from within. From Auracle, with her track “Just Breathe,” which brings the nurturing and healing frequencies to our bodies. To “Power” by farley. which welcomes us into a deeper sense of enchantment. Through the iridescent and clashing elements, “Power” gives the audience a moment to feel dominance through chaoticness. All we have to do is tap in and gain control to unleash the full magentism of the mystical forces.
Now this summer, it’s our chance to frolic through the mystic energy with Bunny G. “Menace Beach” brings something refreshing to the compilation. Through the sonic bouncy vibrations, Bunny G captures the electric energy of the dance floor for others to enjoy. The track welcomes the crowd to get mesmerized by the frequencies and feel a sense of resilience. Naturally, through escapism we find our purpose and return back into reality with a much deeper connection to our surroundings. Sometimes you just have to bounce along to the mystic forces.
For the ones who want to feel the empowerment
It’s a Bass n Babes summer, which means we are ready to feel the empowering energy. The array of tracks from the compilation leads us to unlocking something new. Whether it is Shortcvke who brings something heavier and darker with “Dryad.” To something energetic and mystic that gets the dance floor and walls trembling with So Sus and “Singularity.” The track’s intensity allows us to feel the excellence that thrives in the underground. And nothing encapsulates the radiant energy of bass music like Roses Grimoire and her track “U THOUGHT.” Throughout the intoxicating energy, the track resembles something beautiful that lies in the chaos and madness. Reminding us that there is immense power when we lean into our own chaos. Lastly, leading us to some self-discovery that Lex Looper brings with “Love Him.” Overall, it brings an array of genres that sonically capture something mysterious that grabs our attention.
This leads us to the founder of Bass n Babes, Baby Kush, to bring us an empowering track, “Medusa.” This time, fully capturing the essence and energy of the mythology tale for us to feel. Through the haunting vocals, Baby Kush shapes a track for everyone to immerse themselves in. “Medusa” captures and grants everyone access to the ancient energy that lies inside. Furthermore exemplifies why Baby Kush and “Medusa” are the perfect way to introduce the compilation.
For the ones who just want to feel like a baddie, ready to take on the world
Now, it wouldn’t be a Bass n Babes compilation if there weren’t tracks that ultimately bring that baddie energy for you to conquer the world. VIOLET emulates that through her midtempo track “Sensation” that brings a hypnotic thrill. The electrifying tracks get anyone listening into the right mood and can’t help but move your body along. Next up, it wouldn’t be an absolute party unless the duo Kurei and HerShe made an appearance. “Icy” showcases the excellence of both their charisma and talents in the essence of the divine feminine with alluring melodies and enchanting atmospheres.
To conclude the compilation comes the triple threat: NotLö, nomi, and tess iconic with their track “come over.” The impressive production features sexy vocals, a smooth saxophone lead, high-energy drops, and a rumbling bassline. Each of the artists gets to shine throughout the track for everyone to recognize. A true summer anthem that gets you grooving, singing the lyrics out loud, and allowing that carefree and energetic spirit out.
