This Friday, prepare for the chaotic brilliance of DirtyHappy‘s latest single, “EAT SHIT!” As the second release of 2024 for the up-and-coming bass artist, this track certainly commands attention. From the warping introduction that reveals a menacing tone, the track erupts into a barrage of blistering sound design. Despite the sheer force of the first drop, DirtyHappy continuously displays innovation throughout the added textures. Every beat, synth, and vocal sample is meticulously curated around the wonky atmosphere. However, there is a layer of unpredictability that keeps the listener on their toes. The second drop emerges into a frenzy of metallic and piercing laser-like synths. The sporadic use of dark vocal samples offers up a perfect compliment for the grimey tone. “EAT SHIT!” is both intense and exhilarating, while DirtyHappy pushes the boundaries of his sound. Overall, the thunderous drops and intricate soundscapes make “EAT SHIT!” by DirtyHappy a must-listen!
Regarding the new release, DirtyHappy shares:
I wanted to make something hard that hits in the festival circuit but that still keeps to my wonky sound. I wanted to make a memorable track that a bass head would want to listen to again and again. Going between the dubstep leads and my wonk while keeping the track balanced as a whole was really my main focus. It took me a few tries to find what fit but when I heard it all together, especially with the continued third drop, I fell in love and it instantly gave me bass face!”
