Cozza Frenzy

Released in 2009, Cozza Frenzy stands as a pivotal release in the evolution of American bass music. Following the underground success of Underground Communication, this album saw Lorin Ashton refining his 'omni-tempo maximalism' into a more polished, albeit still crushing, studio format. The album is notable for its diverse range of collaborations and remixes, featuring artists like Fever Ray and Zumbi of Zion I, which helped cement the artist's connection to both the hip-hop and indie-electronic worlds. Sonically, it is defined by its use of 'wobble' basslines that were becoming synonymous with the rising dubstep movement, yet it retains a distinct West Coast glitch aesthetic characterized by intricate percussion and organic samples. Critically, it was praised for its production density and its ability to translate the energy of a live performance into a studio recording. It remains a fan favorite for its balance of heavy-hitting anthems like 'Teleport Massive' and more contemplative, downtempo explorations like 'Window Seat'.
