Barclay Crenshaw’s Open Channel – New Frequencies celebrates bass music’s depth and diversity as he looks to ASHEZ, LYNY, Super Future, Shanghai Doom, and more for remixes.
Barclay Crenshaw’s latest release, Open Channel – New Frequencies, builds upon the legacy of his 2024 album with a collection of remixes that take the original material to electrifying new heights. This two-disc project, which is split between remixes and original tracks, showcases a dynamic roster of collaborators who reinterpret his sound while maintaining the raw energy and vision that made the initial release such a standout.
The first disc features remixes that reimagine the album’s tracks with fresh perspectives, breathing new life into the already compelling body of work. LYNY’s take on “Do My Ting” featuring Flowdan and Stush amplifies the track’s raw energy, layering gritty basslines and sharp, hip-hop-inspired beats. The result is a powerful rework emphasizing the track’s fierce, no-holds-barred attitude.
“Stay Together” featuring TeeZandos receives an explosive transformation from ASHEZ, whose remix captures the emotional core of the track while driving it forward with thunderous bass and an infectious rhythm. Meanwhile, Super Future’s reimagining of “King of Monsters” leans into cinematic atmospheres, juxtaposing haunting melodies with heavy-hitting drops that make the track feel like a journey through a dystopian landscape.
Other highlights include Shanghai Doom’s dark and brooding rendition of “Big In The Game” featuring Snowy and Manga Saint Hilare, which dives deep into experimental territory with menacing soundscapes and intricate textures. sfam’s remix of “Dub Life” brings their signature minimal trap aesthetic to the forefront, crafting a hypnotic groove that pulses with understated power. Finally, So Sus’s version of “The Rebel” with Snowy balances melodic layers with cutting-edge bass production, creating an evocative and energetic track.
The second disc offers a chance to revisit the original tracks, which remain bold and genre-defying. “The Quiet Storm” is an atmospheric standout, weaving together delicate synth work and pulsating rhythms. “Shyboy” brings an infectious energy with its playful yet intricate production, while “The Juice Is Good” delivers a funky, bass-heavy groove that feels tailor-made for live sets.
With The Open Channel – New Frequencies, Barclay Crenshaw reasserts his position as a driving force in bass music and opens the door for a new wave of creative exploration. The album bridges the gap between its foundational elements and the innovative voices of its remix collaborators, offering fans and newcomers alike an experience that is both familiar and thrillingly fresh.
