About B.O.M.B.S.

---

Adding to the catalog, we're tapping into the talents of the stalwart Salt Lake City, Utah based producer SHIFT. Running on 15 years of experience in songwriting and production, coupled with his formative years embedded in the L.A. rave scene, his focus is dialed in on a blended interpretation of modern bass music, properly weaving through the sound system-centric subgenres that dominate the contemporary space. B.O.M.B.S., his latest dual-sided adventure, appropriates elements from drum and bass, breakbeat, and UKG to effectively translate his vision.

Between the eponymous track B.O.M.B.S. and its associate, P.R.I.M.P., it's all undulated bass lines from start to finish. Whip-sharp snares and snappy percussive textures bring fresh air across both tracks, with a smattering of dancefloor rhythms meeting in the middle. Switching seamlessly between half-time and full-time drum lines, replete with guttural synthesis in as many forms, it's clear SHIFT is a product of his varied environments. He's clearly done his homework on both the compositional and production ends of the game, and the payoff is an altogether explosive 1-2 bass bin punch to the chest. 

For fans of low-slung bass lines and rambunctious groove, B.O.M.B.S. is certain to become a mainstay in your headphones this year.

When we last crossed paths, the stoic producer and multi-instrumentalist Devin Kroes was on the heels of his Breathe EP, a cinematic and energetic three-track collection. Two years later, and he’s put the finishing touches on the fruit of an altogether more intensive labor; with The Rust Music serving as home base for his latest release, he’s pulling back the curtain on his arduous and expansive ten-track LP, There Is Growth Here. 

Brimming with attitude and sharp tonality, There is Growth Here maneuvers from end to end with clear compositional intention; each track is the launchpad for the subsequent song, easily blending the berth of styles housed under one umbrella. With psychedelia and psybient fundamentals abound, this latest spate of tracks showcase rhythms ranging from scintillating and groovy downtempo through to elevated drum and bass, all the while showing off Kroes’ penchant and skill with latin riffs and six-string leads, tying the knot on a marked infusion of world-music into his established palette. With style, finesse, and clear compositional confidence, Taking its spot as the 78th Rust Music release, the There Is Growth Here LP hits every mark and then some, and we’re exceptionally excited to offer the record in both digital and vinyl formats.
