CØNTRA - Shantique
Producer CØNTRA has unleashed his new track “Shantique”, out now via Deep Dark & Dangerous, and it’s an absolute monster. Blending a fusion of Dubstep, Bass, Rave, and Wook elements this tune kicks off with South Asian melodies, a jaunty 140 groove, and earth-shattering sub frequencies that perfectly embody his signature world-bass mastery. “Shantique” arrives alongside its B-side “Double”, forming a two-track release that showcases CØNTRA’s ability to merge organic textures with bass-fueled filth.
Born in the redwoods of Kings Mountain, California, and now based in Denver, CØNTRA (Ezra Arenson) has spent over a decade refining his deep, immersive sound within one of the U.S.’s most vibrant bass scenes. With releases on DDD, DUPLOC, Wheel & Deal, Odyzey, Gravitas, and more, he’s carved out a style that bridges deep dubstep and world bass. As he prepares for his Mission Ballroom showcase on November 1st, “Shantique” cements his status as one of the scene’s most dynamic rising producers.
