Shaded

More chunky basslines from LA's finest

From the day we heard Tiga drop 'SheShe' in his Essential Mix from Glastonbury, we've had the tune on repeat. We've played it in sets, we've heard it on systems and we've seen the damage it does first-hand. It's safe to say that Shaded created a monster.

Ever since then we've followed Shaded's every movement and if you're a fan of brooding, thick basslines and tech that's geared for the floor, then it won't be long before the LA producer is firmly on your radar.

His menacing releases can be heard on SCI-TEC and the Turbo Recordings off-shoot Twin Turbo, where some of his best EPs have dropped. We premiered the amazing 'Ripped Kick' last year and now Shaded returns to the Canadian imprint for more heavy-artillery. We've got the first spin of' 'Creepy Fingers' and it doesn't disappoint.

The title-track lives and breathes the winning Shaded formula with weighted, dwarfing low-end coming at you from the start. This one's a little more sinister than his usual as he swaps the playfulness for riffs that build with menace and drops that come loaded with an almighty bang. Check this one right now if you want something to get your dancing crew fired up.

The 'Creepy Fingers' EP will drop on February 19 via Twin Turbo
