Japanese explorer of the deep Dayzero is next up on Nerve Collect with his Step Inna EP, which brings six tracks of meticulously crafted post-dubstep rhythm and bass.

His futuristic sounds rewire dubstep, techno, breaks and bass with psychedelic colours and spaced out moods on leading labels like Livity Sound and ZamZam. He has a new album on the way this year, but first comes this latest intersection of body-driven, mind-expanding sounds. Revival is engineered for full-body movement. Its intelligent, instinctive and just a bit unhinged as watery droplets and a frazzled lead warp space and time while mangled bass drills down deep. Step Inna skanks through a dystopian dreamscape with chanting dub vocals. They echo like encrypted mantras as calculated bass patterns ground the groove, percussive hits launch you skyward and then collapse inward. Antibody has spring-loaded bass that rebounds under rogue circuitry while the rhythm stutters in broken, syncopated spasms below a smattering of wobbly toms. Remains is highly pressured and kinetic, a thudding rhythm with overdriven tribal percussion pining you to the floor. Alignment is a tectonic transmission sent back from tomorrowmechanical yet organic, the bassline rumbles with subatomic weight beneath ghostly pads and static-charged synth lines. Gravity Phase is where ancient raga meets future bass culture. Stringy Indian melodies linger in the shuffling dub rhythms and wordless vocals drift like vapour trails in a soundscape where mysticism and machinery collide. This is an EP of precision-guided portals to the outer edges of bass music.
