Montell2099 just dropped his “Forces” EP on Sable Valley Records. The five-track EP features a huge collaboration with the label’s head honcho RL Grime. As you might expect from a release on the king of Trap music‘s record label, “RUSYNTH” is a hard-hitting and synth-heavy Trap banger. Actually, it is even more than that, it also brings the feel-good and uplifting sides of Future Bass along with it.
You might have already heard two of the tracks from the EP. His single “Burna” was released earlier this year and “Stars” at the end of 2019. Needless to say, Montell2099 is absolutely on a roll, and many big things are in the works. Add to that a collaboration with the legend RL Grime and you have a career ultra-boost right there.
Why RL Grime recruited Montell2099 for his label is no surprise, his sound is just so fresh. He delivers cutting-edge melodic soundscapes, his sound design and arrangements are outstanding, and his melodies will simply astound you. He brings an undeniable invigorating feel and character to his tracks. He is one of those artists that when you hear a track, you can recognize his signature sound instantly. This is something that is very rare nowadays on the electronic music scene.
Here’s what Montell2099 has to say about the “Forces” EP:
“It feels like the start of a new chapter for me. This EP is definitely a time stamp in my discography, I can look back on it and get a feel for where I was at musically. I’m excited to keep progressing and evolving from here.”
He also has a few words concerning working with RL Grime, the rise of Sable Valley Records and “RUSYNTH”:
“I’ve been following RL Grime for a long time now, so for him to mess with my music is an honor. Seeing the label come together has been dope to watch, it feels like a breath of fresh air in the electronic music landscape. I was in LA a year ago and we ended up linking up at his crib. We worked on ‘RUSYNTH’ from there. I think people can listen to the track and distinguish who did what. Henry just knows what works and what doesn’t – you only get that from experience.”
If you haven’t listened to the whole EP yet, you definitely should! It has been streamed tens of thousands of times already, making it an instant hit on the Bass music scene. “Forces” is a force to be reckoned with, it is one of those records that takes its listeners somewhere else, to an Elysian world. Delve into the uplifting melodies and heavy-hitting 808s of this opus until Montell2099 comes back with more!
