Today, New Orleans-based duo sfam and experimental bass producer DMVU team up for their collaborative single ‘neutral ground’. The single serves as the first off sfam’s forthcoming EP of the same title due out this summer on Rezz’s label HypnoVizion.

A rebellious collaboration befitting the dark, ominous sounds curated by HypnoVizion, ‘neutral ground’ is a gritty, off-kilter bass track that defies the traditional dubstep formula. A dizzying array of heavy basslines and disorienting synths, ‘neutral ground’ offers a perplexing listening experience as it wavers between dramatic builds and crunchy drops. Attention-grabbing from start to finish, ‘neutral ground’ acts as the catalyst for what’s to come with sfam’s upcoming EP.

Regarding the track, sfam said, "We've been good friends with DMVU for many years now. He's one of the best producers in the game and we're proud to have made multiple songs with him. He's also incredibly handsome and nice. We're ecstatic to have him as the only collaboration on the EP."

DMVU added, "I had started this song a while back and just really couldn’t figure out which direction to take it. I had been talking with Micheal about swapping tracks to get a couple collabs done, so I sent it over to the boys, and they really polished it. The addition of the second drop was really the cherry on top."

sfam is the intrepid New Orleans-based duo, co-captained by childhood friends Jacob Hoerner & Michael Pearson. DJing and producing together since 2014, they’ve patiently built their repertoire to establish themselves as rising stars in US bass music. Their love for bass goes far beyond their high-energy sets at festivals such as BUKU and Beyond Wonderland. Studio productions, including their 2022 self-released debut album below sea level, display range, depth, and a flair for the experimental. Their tracks have garnered support from tastemakers such as Liquid Stranger, CRAZE, Buku, and more. sfam have collaborated with Dirt Monkey, Eazybaked, and Mersiv, and stepped up on remix duties for the likes of ATLiens, Boogie T., Wreckno, and UZ.

Mathew Jones, aka DMVU, is etching an indelible mark into the future of bass music. He may be a relatively new face in the frenetic scene that Colorado has generated, but this young Denver resident has quickly gained the attention of a global audience. His productions have found their way into the sets of Noisia and Boombox Cartel, he’s toured with Dirt Monkey, Yheti, and Of The Trees, and he’s shared the stage with the likes of Hudson Mohawke, The Widdler, and Truth.

‘neutral ground’ serves as the first single off sfam’s forthcoming EP of the same title due out this summer on Rezz’s label imprint HypnoVizion. Stream ‘neutral ground’ now and catch sfam live supporting Rezz at her curated HypnoVizion event FrostVizion on September 15th.
