When the funk house icons Big Gigantic collide with the prodigious bass talent AHEE, something groundbreaking was bound to happen. For over a decade, Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken of Big Gigantic have been fusing live instruments with electronic beats, creating a unique blend that’s paved a way for other artists and nearly defined a genre all their own. AHEE, after capturing audiences with acts like The Lucent Dossier Experience, has risen meteorically thanks to a versatility in the studio that is on full display here.
It’s not the first time their sounds have crossed — AHEE’s first big break was back in 2016 during a Big G remix contest where he took second place. Their latest sonic smash cut — “Oh Dang!” is as explosive as the title suggests. Things kick off with a funky 1970s-inspired guitar riff, swiftly escalating into a whirlwind of punchy percussions, bold synths, and nervous system jolting dubstep drops. Like many Big Gigantic tracks, the song feels like a funk-fueled sonic rollercoaster, with peaks of pure electronic-pop, wonky drops, and undeniably grooves.
Hear ‘Oh Dang!’ live at Red Rocks on September 29th and 30th. Grab your tickets right here.
