Effin Distributes a Multidimensional Head Trip on ‘Descent’ EP

Miranda Halla
Effin

Effin delivers a deliberate “descent into madness” with four striking tracks on his wide-ranging Descent EP – out now on Deadbeats.


Icon Collective alumnus Effin has focused on growth and production value since releasing his first EP, Operate, in 2019. Since then, the Nashville-based bass enthusiast has steadily increased the depth of harmonic builds and span of unique beats within the genre with follow-up releases that included Phases and Distress in 2021. This year has seen Effin deliver performances at the likes of Interstellar, Bass Canyon, and Nocturnal Wonderland, alongside a late-fall packed with supporting club shows that have amassed new fans and provided glimpses of his latest EP, Descent.

A while ago I had a conversation about a “descent into madness” playlist that would start with more comfortable EDM tracks and go down a rabbit hole into more obscure tunes, this idea ended up as the inspiration for the EP… I think there’s a bit of something for everyone in this project and it feels like the perfect combination of a bunch of different styles that I’ve fallen in love with.

Effin

The vocal-driven Descent EP is out now on Deadbeats and delves toward indie vibes while maintaining Effin’s artistic authenticity through quick-moving drums and heavy bass. “Stupid” opens the release with an instantly captivating club banger drip. Wandering away from mainstream expectations and into a sovereign territory, “Horseplay” with Jiqui goes hard while remaining fun, as the title implies. “Yeah, I put in work,” is repeated as Effin doses listeners with drop after delicious drop, each better than before.

Woven in Hiatus is featured on “Headspace,” allowing for a lyrical and mellowed-out offering. Soft harmonies sway into an ill state ladened with discordant undertones before closing with a sense of lethargy. “Painted” features Anna Sophia in a mind-meld of back-and-forth that subconsciously carries listeners through layers in the track. Various elements rise and fall collectively across several octaves and beat matrixes, making way for a wow factor finish to Descent.

Listen to Descent on Spotify or your preferred platform, and make sure to grab tickets to see Effin live!

@MitiS shares Memories of his early career and releases a brand new four-track EP on his imprint to thank his longtime fans. 🙌🏽⁠

“I fell in love with the tempo, and how it was SO different from everything else,” he told us. “It just really clicked, supernaturally. The more I wrote, the more it made me excited to write more of it.” - MitiS ⁠
⁠
He returns with his brand new Memories EP, which not only harkens back to the start of his career but serves as a thank-you to his fans. “I got super burnt out trying to write more poppy-sounding stuff, and the melodic scene is so over-saturated now that I just wanted to write how I felt and what I wanted,” he said. “I had the most fun writing instrumental music my whole career, so I decided to dive back in and have a trip down memory lane.“ 🎶⁠

  • SHOW REVIEW:⁠
Millions of people across the globe recently ushered in a fresh Lunar New Year. For those that celebrate, 2023 is the year of the rabbit, which represents peace, self-reflection, and prosperity. And in honor of this celebration, Pulse Events produced two eventful nights at @avantgardnerbk, featuring a roster of Asian artists and two dance music titans – @Gryffin and @KSHMR. 🪅🎶⁠
⁠
The renowned venue displayed a 360 photo booth with a Lunar New Year backdrop for attendees, and a constellation of red lanterns suspended throughout the space with a huge chandelier right in the center of the Great Hall – and our team was there to witness the Lunar New Year magic. 💫⁠

  • ALBUM REVIEW: 💿️⁠
There are few artists in the melodic house and techno realm more in demand than @marshmusician at the moment. His latest LP to land on @Anjunadeep, Endless, is a glimpse of what the last few years of staying busy have meant to the producer, yet also act as a snapshot of his past as he takes his deepest influences and brings them into the present. This album is the culmination of both the artistry that’s made him a staple of the Anjuna roster over the past few years and the philosophical questions that arise from long journeys. 🛣️🎶⁠
⁠
"I’ve written this entire album on the move, writing from so many different homes. On a deeper, more spiritual level, this has led me to question, what is truly home, and will we experience home after this life?" -Marsh⁠
