After years of distancing himself from the sound that defined his early career, What So Not is back with a bang. His new EP, 'I SAW A TRAP DJ AND IT CHANGED MY BIO CHEMISTRY,' is a six-track tribute to the trap and future bass movement he co-founded.

The journey back to his roots began with a bold move in May, when he wiped his social media accounts clean, admitting he had been fleeing from the very sound he helped create. The singles 'Everest,' 'Mona Lisa,' and 'Candy Flipping' have been teasing fans all summer, each tightening the focus on this new direction.

Opening with 'Candy Flipping,' the EP sets the tone with slippery basslines and a verse from Brisbane rapper NERVE, who brings his grime-influenced style to the mix. Ukrainian artist Alina Pash also makes her presence felt, blending shamanic influences with hard-hitting electronics across three tracks.

In 'Mona Lisa,' What So Not collaborates with fellow trap architect Mr. Carmack, creating a dazzling collision of sounds. The track’s central riff is pushed to delightful extremes, exemplifying the playful absurdity that marks this release.

The EP breathes with 'Wires and Webs,' a lighter breakbeat track featuring Elohim, which showcases warm synths and soothing vocals. However, it’s the explosive energy of 'Trash' that really makes a statement. The project closes on a serene note with 'I Don’t Wanna Leave Yet,' where Pash returns for an ethereal outro.

Fans can now stream 'I SAW A TRAP DJ AND IT CHANGED MY BIO CHEMISTRY' on various platforms, ready to witness What So Not reclaim his musical legacy.
