Today, New Orleans-based duo sfam release their new neutral ground EP, out now on Rezz’s label HypnoVizion.
A thrilling four-track project from the rising duo, neutral ground is an adventure into the off-kilter bass and hybrid trap sounds associated with HypnoVizion. The EP opens with ‘Bad Blood’, a ghastly left-field cut befitting its name, leading into the noxious focus track ‘Lezdewit’. neutral ground twists with the haunting builds and devastating drops devised with ‘Unhinged’, before concluding with its titular anthem, ‘neutral ground’, a rebellious collaboration with Denver-based producer DMVU.
Across the EP, sfam experiment with dizzying melodies, harsh broken-beat rhythms, and gritty basslines. In line with the defiant vision set forth by Rezz’s burgeoning label imprint, sfam’s curiosity towards unorthodox soundscapes has made them a natural addition to the growing HypnoVizion family.
Regarding the EP, sfam said, “This EP has been one of our favorites to write thus far. We wrote in tempos we don’t usually write in so it was fun to test ourselves. Our goal is to always write music that doesn’t sound like anyone else. We’re very happy to have found a home for it with such a genuine and dope label. So much love to Rezz and team for believing in us.”
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 Hangout Festival 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.
neutral ground is the latest EP to arrive on Rezz’s label imprint HypnoVizion, following isqa’s i 4ove you and EDDIE’s Onzeker Kraft Vol. 1. Stream neutral ground now and catch sfam live supporting Rezz at her curated HypnoVizion event FrostVizion on September 15th.
