Frequent collaborators, these two provide a heady mix whenever they work together due to their experience and dedication in fusing hybrid sounds of all shapes and sizes:

  • Chief Jesta is well known for his work with Noise Revolt and Moontribe events, providing him a unique perspective into the wide world of techno/breaks/tribal, and its relation to DnB. Combining this with his deep passion for dark DnB, he has continually worked to broaden the musical landscape of LA with his art and music label, as well as his extensive experience in event planning.
  • Forin has been busily displaying his chops on labels such as Sound Museum while also incrementally growing his diverse finely tuned sound at festivals such as Jackson Tree and Lightning In A Bottle. Fusing the high production values found in DnB with the careening energy of halftime & dubstep has cemented his status as one to watch.

    • This further lays the growing foundation of the Momentive label, as its futuristic aesthetic plays a vital role in paving a road forward through experimentation and an eagerness to engage in testing the limits of new technology.

    “Acid Test” is a clear manifestation of the versatility of electronic music, employing a mutant mixture of classic and fresh elements that trigger new synapses of the imagination. Dropping April 19th on Beatport and Spotify, Rendah is proud to premier this track. Get entrenched in the sound of the future via the links below!
