“Slamming Keys" by G Jones and Eprom
Two of bass music’s most forward-thinking architects, G Jones and Eprom, have reunited to deliver a masterclass in digital chaos with their new single, “Slamming Keys.” The track marks the duo’s first collaboration of 2025 and the lead single from their forthcoming EP, Disk Utility.
From the first distorted chord, “Slamming Keys” throws listeners into a volatile world of glitching synths, fractured percussion, and seismic low-end pressure. It’s an assault of texture and precision, the kind of meticulously sculpted sonic architecture that blurs the line between breakbeat, IDM, and experimental bass. Each sound feels engineered for impact, every rhythmic mutation calibrated to overwhelm in the best way possible. G Jones and Eprom’s chemistry remains untouchable. The single arrives on the heels of their monumental B2B at OSLO in London, and they are set to tour across North America with a run of intimate 360° DJ sets, merging cutting-edge visual design and surround-sound production for an experience that’s as much art installation as it is rave.

“Some Kind of Dangerous” by Arts Fishing Club
Adventurous indie rockers Arts Fishing Club have just shared their latest banger "Some Kind of Dangerous". The highly relatable anthem is a gritty emotionally charged anthem that questions what it means to stay human in an increasingly digital world. Fueled by driving percussion, blues-drenched electric guitars, and frontman Christopher Kessenich’s impassioned vocals, the track strikes a perfect balance between grit and grace, rebellion and reflection. The band describes the song as “a desperate plea to remain human, dangerous flesh and blood, as we rapidly witness ourselves evolving into machines.” That urgency pulses through every beat, as they channel both the unease and exhilaration of existing on the edge of technological overload. It’s indie rock with a pulse, alive, imperfect, and gloriously messy.
What sets Arts Fishing Club apart is their unfiltered authenticity. From Kessenich’s 1,600-mile walking tour from Maine to Nashville to their now-legendary live shows (complete with onstage hot-dog tossing and a grill master at the ready), they embody the idea of living loudly and unapologetically. That same fearless energy courses through “Some Kind of Dangerous”, turning a modern existential crisis into an arena-ready anthem of defiance.
