Imbued with the power of the thriving sonic monoculture that now dominated the planet that it had landed on millennium ago, the effigy began transmission. Empowered by the fervent spirit of its worshippers who hummed in harmony on the planet's surface, the effigy transfused their combined acoustic energy into the creation of a great portal in the sky. Opening with a resounding thunderclap as the very fabric of space was torn asunder by sound, the gathered worshippers looked on with awe at the scene which awaited at the portal's other side. Above them was an image of another effigy of incomprehensible scale that floated gracefully amidst the void of space. In its outstretched palms lay a number of planetoids, whilst at its center lay yet two more hands that beckoned as if to them all. Then in their planet's core sprung forth a resonance of unique character, which pulled at the wills of all those gathered. Though this solar system had long been their home, they understood that they must now venture beyond its remote confines and settle before the heart of the great effigy, in the waiting grasp of its resting arms. United in this will and empowered by the consonant thrumming of their own planetary effigy, their planet broke from its orbit and began to drift upwards on a course that would see it passing through the portal and settling into its new home at the place where THE CULT OF BASS had its genesis. MNDSCP unveils the full breadth of THE CULT OF BASS for the ears of the EATBRAIN horde, which sees one of the label's most storied artists deliver an album rippling with low frequency sequences designed to inspire dancefloor fervor in all who hear them.

Back for the second single of Merikan's debut album, we see him collab with Russian power twins Gancher & Ruin on Boss Fight.

Vienna based artist Anvo steps into the spotlight with his debut EP 'Gloom' Marking the beginning of what promises to be a bright future, Anvo showcases a refined approach to sound design and groove, demonstrating a level of craftsmanship that sets him apart as an emerging talent to watch. Anvo delivers a collection of tracks that highlight his ability to balance dark atmospheric depth with driving rhythms. His attention to detail in sound design and his instinct for groove come together seamlessly, resulting in a release that feels both immersive and forward-thinking. Anvo began producing at just 15 in 2021, initially inspired by a close friend and a growing curiosity for the craft. Early influences come from discovering Visages' Yalda EP, a release that plays a key role in shaping the direction of his sound, with the deeper, more nuanced edge of that 'Critical' sound, remaining a constant source of inspiration. He goes on to secure his first release with IN Recordings, followed by Empathy Audio, further cementing his evolving artistic identity. The story behind the EP is rooted in a real connection. We first met at our 5 Year event in Graz, Austria, where a brief introduction quickly developed into something more. Not long after returning to the UK, a folder of music from Anvo lands in our inbox, and it becomes clear almost immediately that there's something special there. From that moment, the collaboration naturally takes shape. With 'Gloom', Anvo establishes a clear artistic identity while highlighting the role of connection and discovery at the core of the scene.
