Ferrum is the unveiling of Deep Shoq's newer, grittier sound. The producer’s latest EP with Darker Than Wax reflects a personal concept that represents self-determination, mental and emotional strength. How Ferrum is one of the most common elements on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer crust and inner core, is also a poetic adaptation of his growth and journey of producing stronger, fundamental sounds.
The 5 track EP is a blistering showcase of percussive, rhythmic textures that drive both the listener and artist - who cites NameBrandSound and Machinedrum as influences in this release. The release evades categorization in any specific genre, but it is built on a strong foundation of bass-inclined UKG and half-stepper vibes.
You must have light in order to cast a shadow, and Deep Shoq’s new darker sound is a glimmering reveal of his refined artistic capabilities.
