DIESEL, known to many by his court moniker, SHAQ, and Jessica Audiffred, the sovereign of bass, strike up an old conversation in a new language with “NO FEAR”. There’s a rock ‘n’ roll spirit here, albeit one that’s now dressed in electronic garb. This track isn’t just about drops or sound design, but about the persona behind the music: those that tell stories of ambition, surprise collaborations, and artistic evolution.
In “NO FEAR”, you hear echoes of movements and moments going on behind the scenes and in the past. SHAQ’s recollections of a young age encounter with Public Enemy speak of a love for a grassroots sound. This deep-rooted affinity for music’s raw power becomes palpable in his current bass-heavy direction he’s currently embracing. Jessica Audiffred, on the other hand, has emerged as a force from Mexico City, a place where music isn’t just a cultural expression, but a lifeline. Both histories collide in this meant to be collaboration.
But what’s really striking about “NO FEAR” is its immediacy. It’s not a track you merely listen to; it’s one you get encapsulated in. Like the historical anthems that have stood the test of time, this song, too, has that rare magic: it captures the zeitgeist of what bass music should be while bringing together the styles of two notable talents.
