INFEKT Unveils Massive 8-Track Monstercat Debut EP, ‘VEGGIE GAMES’
Born 1997 in Germany, Infekt made his first steps in music production at the young age of 12. Being always impressed by the sounds of dubstep he tried to find his unique style with as much variation as possible. His productions concentrate on the wonky, darker side of dubstep. Now following the releases of standout singles “BEAMS” and “Play It Twice,” bass virtuoso INFEKT today dropped his highly-anticipated VEGGIE GAMES EP on Monstercat Uncaged.
The rise of INFEKT as a primary act in the bass/riddim realm has been nothing short of explosive. With a high demand on the live circuit, he has electrified audiences worldwide, performing at major festivals like EDC Las Vegas, Rampage Open Air, Lost Lands, and more. His recent headlining tour, spanning over 40 stops selling over 16,500 tickets, sold out in nearly every major North American city, including Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle, Tampa, Vancouver, and beyond. INFEKT’s powerful discography resonates across the mainstage, with industry heavyweights such as Skrillex, Four Tet, Subtronics, NGHTMRE, and Marshmello (who he shares a collaboration with), frequently featuring his tracks in their sets.
“VEGGIE GAMES has some of my proudest work to date. Over the last year I’ve progressed so much in sound design, mixdown, and overall quality, and I’m stoked to finally reveal it. Every track has a different flavor and influence: Some styles are more OG, some ultra futuristic, some deeper and understated – all inspired by the incredible energy people have been bringing to my shows and my unstoppable hunger to find new ways to create crazy bass sounds and flows!” – INFEKT
“BEAMS” and “Play It Twice” are now joined by six powerful new tracks on VEGGIE GAMES, showcasing INFEKT’s gritty, piercing bass sounds in full force. This 8-track package is a testament to INFEKT’s prowess, blending his OG-influenced styles with fresh, innovative sound designs. Each record pushes the boundaries of bass music through niche production techniques and tools. Notably, INFEKT utilizes Bitwig’s Spectral Suite to create distinctive basses, highlighting his technical mastery and vision. Drawing inspiration from his electrifying live shows, INFEKT channels the energy and intensity of his tours into VEGGIE GAMES, the result is a cohesive experience that reflects the raw power of himself captivating audiences around the globe.
