As a DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Homemade Spaceship has spent the last decade making an indelible mark on the Denver bass music scene.
The Chicago-bred producer’s astral-inspired sonics and electro-soul performance style – which incorporate both the electric guitar and flute – has led to collaborations with soulful bass queen Maddy O’Neal and saxophone-wielding artist SoDown, in addition to taking the stage at festivals like Sonic Bloom and Electric Forest.
The Denver-based artist wants to discover new worlds through his work. His origins in metal music and hip-hop fuels his DIY sensibilities, and pushes him to continue creatively tinkering with soundscapes. He’s cultivated a wholly original sound that combines the heaviness of metal with the grooviness of electro-soul, translating his expertly-crafted, handmade sound design into cacophonous, bass-boosted bangers.
Now, the artist is revving up toward his debut album, Ghost Ride The Spaceship, a genre-blurring, full length project that displays how his artistry is used as catharsis — a way to escape reality and find purpose in this universe without outside distractions. Wonky, vibrant, and brimming with heavy bass sounds, Ghost Ride The Spaceship promises to envelop listeners on a voyage through the space-time continuum.
Today, listeners can get their first taste of the LP with lead single “Electric Indigo” – a spacey, vivacious track that catapults listeners into an otherworldly realm with its thumping, scintillating bass notes. Serving as the beginning of an intergalactic space expedition, this single represents a spaceship’s blast-off before making its way out of the Earth’s atmosphere, reminding listeners that, as Homemade Spaceship frequently states, “the only way to go is forward.”
“Electric Indigo” kicks off with rolling, atmospheric synths that quickly accelerate into a melodic guitar riff that carries throughout and is accompanied by an ethereal, soft flute section. The track then continues with a grimy, hard-hitting drop with grooving percussion elements that add to the song’s dynamic movement.
“Electric Indigo” deftly illustrates Homemade Spaceship’s musical abilities and seasoned production skills, portending a boundless, full-length LP that will explore the depths of the producer’s latest artistic ventures.
Fans will be able to catch Homemade Spaceship’s hybrid-live performances – which incorporates the flute and electric guitar into his fervent bass DJ set – at his upcoming headlining show/album release party at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom on Saturday, August 19 in Denver, CO. He will also be playing at Glow Hard Music & Arts Festival in Portland, ME later this month.
