After wreaking absolute havoc on speaker systems for just about six years now, Hekler opens 2023 taking that quantum leap as an artist unleashing his highly anticipated debut album, Abyss, to the world!
Showcasing his versatility as a producer over the past few years, the Las Vegas-based bass mastermind showcases his undeniable production prowess with a 10-track offering taking listeners on a menacing musical journey that sees the worlds of dubstep and hip-hop intertwine seamlessly.
“A couple years ago, I was supposed to put out an album that fell through and never really saw the light of day. I had spent countless hours going back to the basics and sort of re-teaching myself everything I knew but in a totally different way. A couple weeks go by, and I decide to start a new record that represents a new ‘creative journey.’ I had no prior planning or ideas, so I kind of just dived in head first. Hence the title ‘Abyss’: Jumping into the unknown. Each song on this project has a different, and somewhat raw, feel to each of them. I wanted to capture the essence of how it felt in the room while I was first starting these songs. I really wanted my first big project to show me as an artist in all ways, so I ended up taking on the design and art portion into my own hands, as well,” Hekler explains.
He adds, “The features on this project are some of my favorites that I’ve had the pleasure of working on. One of the first singles on the record is “TILL I DIE” with Glenwood! and KANIN; such an insane tune. Then, we’ve got “Bank” with my fellow Vegas native, Sam King. On “In My Bag” with Frankie Sinn, we met during a tour stop in Atlanta and just automatically vibed. And finally, my boy Dnd Roxy, we go back a bit and have tons of songs together that you all will hear soon. But we wanted to add a crazy abrasive tune to our folder, so we started “Whiplash.”
