about

Returning with a mega dose of modern alternative hip hop muscle, Manchester-based producer Fthmlss shares a new bass-fuelled heavy-hitting single ‘Niagra’ via Asta Hiroki’s Folded Music imprint.

Fthmlss has rapidly built a name for himself, stitching together curious and characterful productions that have readily caught the attention of Spotify and Apple Music Editorial playlists as well as the heads in the alternative beats landscape.

You might be forgiven for thinking that it will be a relaxed affair during the ambient introduction that sets the scene with fresh running water and distant birdsong, before a tribal beat and brawny bass line kick down any preconceptions you had and initiate a killer head-nodding groove fit for a boxer.

Despite it’s obvious low-end strength the track doesn’t lack any delicacy or nuance in the top-end that the producer is well known for. It’s a rare beast that combines straight-up hip hop power with deeper more cerebral elements and sound design that will bring you back to listen again and again.

Since joining Asta Hiroki’s Folded Music imprint with his EP ‘Anxious’, he has quickly gained even more high-profile fans across radio and press, including BBC 6Music, FIP, France Inter, Radio Eins, XLR8R, CLASH, Magnetic Mag, and College Music.

Continuously expressing a clear desire to grow his sound further and explore more conceptual work, unlike many producers in similar beat-based spheres, he has readily taken in new sonic influences from a wide array of electronica, hip hop, and ambient styles of music and isn’t afraid to explore them with enthusiasm.


Speaking on the track in his own words:

‘From high-energy waterfalls smashing through rocky cliffs to serene streams running through the meadows. This project is an ode to water and gives thanks to the life it provides on this peculiar planet.”
