Greedy has been a mainstay in the bass community since the genre first exploded around 2014-2015. But, like all artists, his story begins years earlier as he rose to popularity with releases on Never Say Die, releasing three dubstep banger EPs from 2012-2013. In 2014, he released his first single on Disciple, the (at the time) new label of Rossy from Astronaut and Mediks and Rob from Dodge & Fuski.
In 2015 he released “Time” on his cool cats never die EP, the first of his tracks that could fit into the “bass house” genre. Later that year, he delved into it further with My people. It wasn’t until 2017 with “I Wanna” with Jace Mek that he really started to be known as a “bass house artist”. Even then, his genre style carried with him years of experience and variety, bringing in heavier bass elements and his French heritage.
Here we are, six years later, and Heritage became for him a banner and the title of his first album. It’s a nod to his French roots and, probably, how far he’s come in this scene in a global sense. His last EP dates from 2016 with French press on Never Say Die, and it’s only been singles so far.
“From the heaviest to the deepest, I hope people resonate with the album and find their favorite record inside in the process,” Habstrakt said. “It’s a journey through the past, present and future of my vision.”
The album features GreedyThe versatility of as an artist, including different styles he’s never shown before and ones that aren’t necessarily defined as a “dancefloor banger”. Many tracks go against the grain of mainstream electronic music, including ambient sounds with minimal lyrics, but still tell a full story. From beginning to end, Heritage chronicles his journey as an artist, seeking to find his sound in the EDM industry, and shows all aspects of Greedythe current state of mind.
