During his 10-year stint in Brooklyn, NY, Kingdom emerged as a statesman in the contemporary bass scene, gaining worldwide recognition for his unique and deeply emotional productions and DJ sets. With hybrid taste and an ear for improvisation, Kingdom's major releases on Fool's Gold (Mind Reader) and Night Slugs (That Mystic) position him to launch this platform of his own, alongside Texas producer Prince William. A longtime staple of Texas dance music culture, Prince William blends rap and street sensibilities with an eye toward global developments in music, helping to shape the sound of many local Dallas rappers, as well as the Fade to Mind roster, which includes Nguzunguzu, MikeQ, Total Freedom, Gremino, Kingdom, Cedaa, Clicks & Whistles, Rizzla, Fatima Al Qadiri, and more.

Fade to Mind is pleased to present its debut release, NGUZUNGUZU's Timesup EP, a five-song EP of forward-thinking club tracks full of sub bass and crisp chimes and claps, with a soulful, emotional underpinning.

NGUZUNGUZU are Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda, a production duo whose roots trace back to Puerto Rico and India but currently rest their heads in Los Angeles, where they have been instrumental in building the anti-locale community that surrounds them. Held together by a bond consisting of club music, dark vibes, and out sounds from all corners of the globe, the duo's chemistry is a unique blend of R&B, cumbia, kuduro, and house elements, often derived from improvisations on MPC drum machines and a room full of synthesizers.

With little concern for genre or location, NGUZUNGUZU craft hymns for digital nomads. Haunting and propulsive, these dark tracks set out to create a nightclub space of their own. The half-time stomp of "Water Bass Power" sputters and transforms in wild variations, and "Wake Sleep" is sexy and grimey all at once, while the cinematic chimes and driving kick drums of "Timesup" recreate the melancholic longing associated with the last song of the night.

"Timesup" (KINGDOM Remix) delivers Kingdom's signature marriage of commanding divas over acid-tinged club stompers. Kingdom retains the elemental mystique of the original while adding the story of a siren scorned, care of a reinvented vocal element. "Wake Sleep" (TOTAL FREEDOM Remix) airlifts you and drops you alone, at night, into the Alaskan wilderness, where hypothermia-inducing river water transforms into white noise and 808s to generate a throughly haunting bass track. As Fade to Mind's inaugural entry, the Timesup EP is a mission statement for a new era of American club music.
