I just spent part of this prior weekend taking in the view and watching surfers at the Hook in Santa Cruz, so it seems appropriate to dive into a new track from Santa Cruz’s very own Bassnectar tonight. He recently partnered up with Brooklyn’s Dorfex Bos on a jaw dropping, expansive blooming anthem named Other Worlds, one of six releases from the next chapter of his Reflective series. It feels like I’ll end up in a world far, far away after the high flying, panoramic soaring journey I take alongside the producers. Their wondrously dazzling ambient bass certainly doesn’t seem of this mundane world. Bassnectar explains: ‘“Other Worlds” was inspired by a new collage from Sebastian Wahl, which we brought to life with the help of Black Lake Media. The collage shows portals emerge and unfold and evolve within and around a picture frame… a magical gateway, like the wardrobe in The Chronicles of Narnia.On a sunny day in Brooklyn I sat down with @DorfexBosMusic to write a piece of music to go along with the visuals, and the ideas just came pouring out. We finished the song in 24 hours flat, with various instruments and sounds mapped to various details and dimensions of the various worlds within the collage.’ You can pre-order Reflective Part 2, here.
