Kumarion Digs Deep Into Unearthly Sound Design With New EP: Listen
Kumarion forward-thinking approach to drum & bass music has been particularly resonant with fans. However, the ascendant DJ and producer’s new EP, Resonate / Shaman, takes a step outside the box to explore the weird and wonky. The two-track effort sees Kumarion incorporating a subtle dose of Eastern influences through ambient soundscapes and instrumentation. On “Resonate,” however, the tides of this enchanting introduction quickly part to make room for a grinding, distorted bassline that doesn’t hold back. He then slow-walks listeners straight to the belly of the beast, firing away with full-throated vowel bass amid a barrage of unearthly sounds. The searing sound design continues on “Shaman,” a banger that’s equally no-holds-b...
