Riding slow and low from Atlanta, Georgia, the stalwart producer Joshua Bell currently rests at the crest of an 11-year production career with a burgeoning new project, known as Sheesh. With a background in classical piano that underpins his musicianship, he’s made ground on the edges of experimental bass music and its various stylistic tendrils with his own particular gait. For the 77th Rust Music release, we’re excited to host and present his most recent EP, Subconscious.
Through four tracks of low-slung frequencies and rolling, syncopated drum lines, Sheesh ties together mean, razor-edged synthesis, effusive piano melodies, and hefty rhythmic swagger. Switching between driving percussive dashes and laid-back, groovy overtures, the Subconscious EP is a distinctly palatable entry to the Sheesh catalog. For fans and appreciators of refined sound design and tightly wound songwriting fundamentals, make sure to check out this latest addition to the Rust’s family of releases on all major listening platforms.

I keep playing and playing this over and over again. Sometimes more often than others but I always seem to come back for that inner geometric reset of the hologram 👽I feel like I’m listening to the best representation of light = electricity = what we are 🙌 been following David’s story for 20+ since London days. There’s no fav one for me, the geometry comes full circle and it’s perfect! The joy is in the mystery my fellow beings ☀️ Papas
