Within the American bass scene, Duffrey has proven himself in the studio and on the stage with a revolving door of tracks and projects; his solo work has had its own prolific impact on the developing sound of his contemporaries, and he simultaneously brings innovative collaborations and raucous dance floor rollers as ⅓ of the producer supergroup, Ultrasloth. With the returning tide of drum and bass to the forefront of young palettes across the country, he’s been a keen player in pushing that resurgence, mingling his own time-tested production toolkit with a significant tempo ramp, and the release of his Shred the Infinite EP leaves nothing on the cutting room floor.

The EP is driven by a masterful control of low end, with potent synthesis ranging from subtle and rounded to brackish and full-throated. Throughout the release, his keen ability to build a carefully concocted symphony of delightful chaos is on full display, with four tracks that will afford listeners the experience of world class production with a particular focus on all things frenetic. “Shred the Infinite”, “Yesterday Tomorrow”, and “Bring ‘Em In” each push a varied take on high-powered, full-time rhythms, cutting between brooding and manic at a dizzying pace. After three full servings of pedal-to-the-metal impact, “Feel You” rounds out the release with a more liquid approach that forgoes the heavy infusion of grizzled bass design, and instead features ethereal synth tones and keys churning together for an emotive ending to a journey through infinity. It’s a choice formula for injecting a new bevy of choice tracks into an already thoroughly polished catalog, and signals a significant page turn for the overall sound of Duffrey.

It’s never a dull moment with Duffrey’s compositions coming through the speakers; his discography has grown to cast a wide net across numerous genres and disciplines, all the while finding clever and nuanced ways to further showcase his specific blend of sonic ingredients. With a smattering of appearances on the horizon, it’s a surefire chance we’ll hear this material in its proper format, but until then, Shred the Infinite is available across all major outlets and streaming services for your discerning enjoyment.
