MUMBAI : DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Homemade Spaceship has spent the last decade making an indelible mark on the Denver bass music scene. The Chicago-bred producer’s astral-inspired sonics and electro-soul performance style – which incorporate both the electric guitar and flute – have led to collaborations with soulful bass queen Maddy O’Neal and saxophone-wielding artist SoDown, in addition to taking the stage festivals like Sonic Bloom and Electric Forest.

With origins in metal music and hip-hop, Homemade Spaceship has crafted an artistic identity defined by DIY sensibilities, which pushes him to continue creatively tinkering with soundscapes. As a result, he’s cultivated a wholly original sound that combines the heaviness of metal with the grooviness of electro-soul, translating his expertly-crafted, handmade sound design into cacophonous, bass-boosted bangers.
Now, the artist is revving up toward his debut album, Ghost Ride The Spaceship, a genre-blurring, full length project that displays how his artistry is used as catharsis — a way to escape reality and find purpose in this universe without outside distractions. Wonky, vibrant, and brimming with heavy bass sounds, Ghost Ride The Spaceship promises to envelop listeners on a voyage through the space-time continuum.
Listeners got their first taste of Ghost Ride The Spaceship with the LP’s first two singles, “Electric Indigo” and “Astro Jones” – spacey, vivacious tracks that catapult listeners into an otherworldly realm with their lush electro-soul vibe.
Today, the artist unveils “Gassed Up,” a trunk-rattling banger that ventures into dubstep and showcases Homemade Spaceship’s diverse range of sonic tricks. Replete with intricately programmed sound design and extra-terrestrial bass wubs, “Gassed Up” is a hard-hitting, futuristic cut that perfectly embodies its producer’s cosmic worldview.
The completed version of “Gassed Up” was inspired by a friend of Homemade Spaceship who asked the producer, “What’s your intention with this track?” This question pushed the artist to hold nothing back, and the result is an immersive, fully-realized soundscape.
“Gassed Up” kicks off with cheerful melodies presented by sparkly synth arpeggios and bell arrangements. The tone takes a sudden shift by building with a vocal sample that details human’s connection to the Milky Way galaxy; the track then incorporates stuttering snares and vocal chops before dropping into its earth-shattering dubstep beat, blasting the listener into the cosmos.
Explosive, immaculately produced, and filled to the brim with vibrant details and head-spinning, cacophonous bass, “Gassed Up” is a display of Homemade Spaceship’s production prowess and portends an album of similarly otherworldly experiments.
Fans will be able to catch Homemade Spaceship’s hybrid-live performances – which incorporates the flute and electric guitar into his fervent bass DJ set – at his album release party at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom on Saturday, August 19 in Denver, CO. He will also be playing at Glow Hard Music & Arts Festival in Portland, ME later this month.
