The Rust Music
Bursting into the fourth year since the creation of his musical project, Wiseyoungfool is a young producer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who has honed in on the nuances of his craft. Pulling influence from drum-and-bass, downtempo, house, and trap music, his own designs and arrangements are a culmination of the recent evolutions in the production and composition of eclectic bass music. Wiseyoungfool's latest foray into sonic synthesis, "Denizens" showcases the multilateral productions and sound designs that separate the artist from the pack. "Denizens" is a forward progression of d-n-b, halftime, and neuro styles, wrapped up in various overarching soundscapes. The synthesis is balanced and full bodied, combining granular textures with precise harmonious arrangements. Each track is a fully immersive, standalone beast that takes on a number of attributes from a wide array of influence; some features and aspects are carefully dusted over to give an organic atmosphere to the song, while others are meticulously produced to a high-venere finish, begging to be rinsed through proper sound systems. Overall, "Denizens" is poised to set a new standard for the evolution and propagation of the constantly morphing attributes that make underground bass music such a malleable and pervasive force.
