Syence master the art of hybridization on new ‘bass pop’ EP

Via Create Music Group comes bass pop, a five-track project dispensed by Syence, a duo dreamt up by Zach Montoya and Brayden James. Laced with toplines supplied by Kyle Reynolds and Jake Neumar, bass pop bolds wanders through elements of melodic-dubstep, house, and mid-tempo.

The EP—Syence’s answer to their last non-bass pop release, “think about u”—was led by the Reynolds-assisted “truth,” a dramatic pop-guided delivery punctuated by future-bass. Fellow bass pop tracklistings “hate u like you love me” and “talking way too much” make use of catchy vocal harmonics and mid-tempo progressions while the EP’s concluding enclosing two tracks tap more into pop and bass. When asked about the musical influences and personal experiences that colored the creative process behind bass pop, Syence shared,

bass pop has always been inspired by the things carved out in its name: bass production and pop vocals. We’ve spent years exploring different genres both in our production, our casual listening in our day to day lives, and we’ve always wanted our sound to represent both of us, not just one or the other. As we’ve gotten to know each other and ourselves, we soon realized that combining our joint love for bass and pop would be the best way to express ourselves as a duo and as Syence.”

Synce added that their inspirations today include a range of artists such as Louis the Child, Skrillex, Whethan, Oliver, Haywyre, Zedd, and more. A slew of individual songs have also “helped [Syence] carve out [their] sound like ‘Savage’ by Whethan, MAX, and Flux Pavilion, as well as Oliver’s remix of ‘Electric Love’ by BORNS,” they say.

To date, Syence have amassed more than 21 million plays on February’s “a little bored” with RUUTH on the video social app Triller. The pair recently signed with LA Reid’s label, Hitco Entertainment, joining the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Dixie D’Amelio, SAINt JHN, and Outkast’s Big Boi as well as booking agency, Wasserman Music. Syence will make their premiere festival debut at Insomniac’s Countdown NYE festival this New Year’s 2021. Stream bass pop below.
