One could say in 2026, doesn’t really have a center anymore. It’s splintered into tiny pockets of sound‑design obsessives, system‑check junkies, and late‑night weirdos all trying to find new ways to bend low‑end without losing the plot. Festival main stages are still chasing big, obvious moments -- yet underneath that layer, a quieter arms race is seemingly playing out in small rooms, side stages, and online corners where the flex isn’t just “how loud” but “how strange and controlled can this actually get?” 2026 and bass music is still getting weirder and wilder - and with that: THENNOW is pouncing on the positivity.

That’s the ecosystem THENNOW is dropping into with his double‑single, a two‑track release that pulls weirder, wilder, and sharper bass music sounds that the scene could simple use more of.

His new pair of tunes aka "TAKE" (original) and a flip of Supertask – "Get to You (THENNOW Remix)"also mark a checkpoint from an artist who has been getting sharper and sharper as the months role by --channeled through both: experimental low‑ends abound and excellent control over subs, transients, and mid‑range moments.

"TAKE" opens with intent: a focus on percussive weight and tightly edited FX that immediately frames the track as a mixing exercise as much as a vibe. Sharp transients and mid‑range color keep the bassline from overcrowding, and there’s a noticeable refusal to just fill every gap with more noise. The arrangement avoids clutter, letting each low‑end hit land with timing and definition instead of stacking layers on layers just to feel “big.”

That restraint is the point. The work pops off - and stretches the space between a punchy bass sound and clucky percussion verses its riding on. THENNOW cares to go the extra mile.

Supertask – Get to You (THENNOW Remix) pushes things further into the spectral, psychedelic side of bass. The original “Get to You” vocal is stretched, washed in reverb/delay with that: the low‑end is pushed into a darker, more physical range that just feels damn right.

As a pair, the two tracks work: one heads‑down, functional, and club‑oriented; the other more introspective and head‑hanging.

That balance fits where bass music is sitting in 2026.

The genre keeps getting weirder (hell ya) - with producers chasing a huge variety of sounds right now - THENNOW seems to pluck some bass gold from the ether.

Off‑platform, that’s reflected in how he moves. THENNOW is an American bass artist based in the Chicago region who works across production and engineering, his catalog as an blossoming project that seems to be here for the long term. Over the past few years he’s been building in the background—testing ideas in edits and remixes, tightening his low‑end and stereo field, and quietly building a small but loyal corner of listeners instead of chasing quick spikes.

The numbers tell that story in a low‑key way - a consistent pattern of tracks creeping into higher and higher digits over time - write‑ups from bass‑scene outlets, and a pretty clear accretion of listeners who actually stick around for the next release.

THENNOW's double‑single release goes well beyond the sounds themselves - attached to a much deeper meaning of - where he's been, where things are going - and where they are now.
