Like a mad scientist, MAR made something kinda scary, weird as hell, but pretty goddamn cool. Appropriately, it’s called “Test Tubes.” Keep him on your radar. He’s definitely pushing the boundaries of bass music in his own unique way.

He’s out to save trap. And The Gentle Giant just put a heavy trap spin on the classic Bleep Bloop tune “K-9 Unit.”
