VEIL Curates a Playlist in Honor of "Dark Matter"

Bass music creatrix VEIL whips up a specially curated playlist of fresh sounds to celebrate the new release of her single “Dark Matter.”

Rolling out her wave of new releases for the 2022 year and gracing the stages at countless festivals, VEIL is no stranger to making moves in the bass scene. She continues to flex her production might, from singles like “4am” that make your whole body vibrate to EPs such as Exoplanet via WAKAAN that feature her signature warping basslines, grinding samples, and eerie synths, all of which show off the method to the madness of her dark style.

Following collaborations with artists like NotLö and MYTHM, VEIL has now released “Dark Matter,” a track that eats your soul alive. This track effectively puts her unique style on full display, with each measure putting you in a chokehold and throwing you against a hypnotic rhythm that will put you in a trance. Easing listeners in with a simplistic yet mysterious intro, the flares of wave patterns come through with a smooth layering of sounds to make it as chill as it is heavy – a balanced paradox encompassing her production value to a T.

Dark Matter cannot be observed, however it is said to be the concrete holding our protons and nuclei together, granting us the ability to be humans in the human body. It is said to be critical to the evolution of our universe, the emergence of stars, planets, and even life itself. It does not reflect, absorb, or emit light or energy – and we only know it exists because of the effect it has on objects that we can observe. It slows down the expansion of our universe, quite literally holding us all together like an attractive force.
I’ve always been perplexed by the larger questions around the universe, dark matter, black holes, galaxies, etc. It helps to bring peace and perspective to my human endeavors. I hope pondering this invisible, yet essential composition of particles a bit with some heavy bass may bring you as much curiosity, perspective, and gratitude as it brought me. I hope it can be a reminder that we are all connected and to be kind to each other and the universe.
