Michigan natives DanceMyth and Labden have two distinct styles and methodologies to their productions, but they've met squarely in the middle for an explosive collaboration. Brandishing Labden's low-end swagger and DanceMyth's tempered grit, these stalwart musicians from the Wolverine State weave their sounds into the aggressive, punked-out track “DataMosh”.
Straight forward rhythms are the cornerstone of “DataMosh”, driving the phrasing throughout the duration of the song. Hollowed-out downbeats accentuate the pumping, pulsing synthesis, channeling the kind of raw aggression found in contemporary metal and rock music. Aptly so, the bass synthesis takes on the texture and utility of a rhythm guitar, chugging away at each verse and refrain. Staggered stabs of melodies fold over sharp pads in succinct motions, constantly building on the industrial atmosphere and flair. Polishing it off with a wide stereo image and healthy amounts of sub-weight, the track is a standout example of the kind of power that comes from pushing raw textures through their paces.
Individually, DanceMyth and Labden are formidable, multifaceted producers who are carving out their own unique slices of bass music. Brought together into one laboratory, and the results speak for themselves. Given the potent results of this first experiment, we're hoping that “DataMosh” is the first of many more tengos between these two musicians.
