Sikdope releases his second Bass House track, “Lift Off”, with breakbeat Hip- Hop producer Michael Sparks featuring gritty four-on-the-floor beats and a robotic vocal loop. The single has a banging bassline, and high octane energy sure to get the party started.

Sikdope reflects on how the collab came about; “I first met Michael Sparks when he created an incredible remix of my track ‘Snakes’ back in the day. It’s a remix that has stood the test of time and is still being played in my sets. Naturally, collaborating with Michael felt like the perfect next step. We initially aimed for a darker, heavier vibe, but after experimenting with multiple versions, we landed on a groovy track that bridges the gap between festival energy and club vibes. The catchy vocal and rolling subby bassline are what truly make this tune special.”

Michael adds; “Lift Off,” a collaboration with the talented Sikdope. This song brings together a unique blend of our styles, featuring a secret recipe mix from Sikdope & i  that will surely captivate listeners. Sikdope and I go way back, and our strong relationship over the years has made this project incredibly special. We can’t wait for you to experience the energy and creativity we’ve poured into “Lift Off.”
