• Gritty fusion of bass house, phonk, and trap
• Great impact of the vocal loop
• A drop that’s equal parts funk and chaos
ON THE HUNT is back with “Fade to Black”, and she’s not messing around. This track is a wild ride: it starts with those deep, distorted vocals that pull you into the shadows, then slams into a drop packed with funky bass grooves and trap elements. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to move, no questions asked.
The production is tight, with a cinematic edge that gives it this larger-than-life vibe. It’s dark, it’s swaggering, and it’s got that raw, underground energy ON THE HUNT is known for. Sure, it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a solid, head-banging banger that does exactly what it’s supposed to.
I wasn’t sure how the phonk elements would mesh with the bass house and trap influences, but ON THE HUNT pulls it off. The drop is where this track really shines! It’s got that funky bass groove that makes you want to move, but it’s paired with aggressive trap elements that keep it from feeling too clean. It’s messy in the best way possible, like a controlled explosion of sound.
That said, I do wish there was a bit more variation in the second half. The first drop hits hard, but by the time the second one rolls around, it feels a little predictable. A surprise twist or a melodic breakdown could’ve added that extra spark to keep things fresh.
Overall, “Fade to Black” is a solid addition to ON THE HUNT’s catalog. If you’re into bass-heavy tracks that feel like they’re designed to blow out speakers, this one’s for you.
