YOOKiE Teams Up With Nitti Gritti on "Apocalypse"
The bad brothers of bass music, YOOKiE, teamed up with Miami's eclectic talent Nitti Gritti on "Apocalypse" and made their return to Kannibalen Records.
With this dark and bass heavy number, they're ushering listeners towards the apparent end of the world with an earth-shattering cataclysm. While YOOKiE's (real names Anthony and Christopher Alfaro) dark and heavy sensibilities shine through on the track, Nitti Gritti (A.K.A. Ricky Mears) hit making capabilities come through.
“YOOKiE told me about this world-ending bass track because they used one of my 808s in, and then we just decided to finish the track together," Mears said of "Apocalypse." "I'm stoked to release this monster!”
With its unrelenting and full-fledged, bone-crunching bass lines, the minimalist composition ushers us forward in the intro before dark, divine drums rumble ominously. And before we know it the bass kicks in making it the mind-melting anthem it was intended to be.
