In the past year, 2Spade has exploded onto the bass and trap scene with his captivating sound design and driving percussive basslines. While still considered a newcomer to the scene, his ability to build tension and craft complex soundscapes places him among the bass elite. The South Korean artist has been turning heads left and right in the industry with his forward musical thinking with releases on iconic labels such as Sable Valley, Dim Mak, and most recently his debut EP Shadow with K-pop major SM Entertainment’s electronic imprint. Now, he continues his hot streak with his first original release of 2024, a collaboration with Myanmar artist past12 titled ‘Patala‘ out now via Yellow Claw’s label Barong Family.
In Dharmic religions, ‘Patala’ translates to underworld. 2Spade and past12 have created a track that channels the voice of the underground with their mastery over bass sounds. Leading with chanting vocals and a rolling bassline, ‘Patala’ captivates listeners from the sonic landscape that both artists have built. The track features a distinct Asian influence, inspired by the duo’s respective backgrounds and recent touring across Asia, most recently reuniting to premiere their track in Thailand. Patala is a festival-ready trap banger that explodes with energy through its thunderous drops and takes you on a journey through the depths of the underworld with its intricate synth melodies.
