'Burgeoning producer FRYDAY returns to X-AMNT with Mercy Is For The Weak. After learning to DJ so he could perform on stage in memory of a close friend, FRYDAY began to produce music back in 2020. His track 'Nitty Gritty' made it on to "X-AMNT Of Bass Vol 1", and a release on label Ruffneck Ting would soon follow. On Mercy Is For The Weak, FRYDAY delivers a masterclass in bass manipulation, crafting four low-end centric tracks sure to go off in the clubs.
Title track ‘Mercy Is For The Weak’ opens the EP. Stony pads and cybernetic samples contribute to a minacious intro. Then, we’re into the drop. Here, a muscular bass pattern serves as the tune’s main feature, stomping all over a set of rapid-fire drums. Next up is ‘Cardiac’. Like a free-form artist, FRYDAY dabs splodges of bass onto his canvas. His canvas is, of course, a driving set of kicks and claps. Each dab of low-end pressure activates the brain’s various dopamine receptors, endless jubilation from start to finish.
‘Chop’ buries itself deep inside the speaker cone. Laser-like bass motifs make up the track’s lead element while burrowing percussion noodles away underneath.
‘Original’ closes out the record. A dual-bass pattern plays out over the percussion in the track’s verse. Snappy for a couple of seconds, it later morphs into a pulverising low-end blast. There's a brief breakdown to catch the breath; then we're back into low-end madness for the closing moments of the EP’s final track'.
Mercy Is For The Weak will arrive to Juno Download & Spotify on 21st April, hitting all digital platforms a week later on 28th April.
