CRACKAJACK’s new single CLANKAS is a bold and unapologetic dive into the weird and wonderful world of bass music. From the first drop, the song feels alive with energy, clanking and grinding like a robot with a mind of its own. It’s inspired by viral memes poking fun at robots in public spaces, and that playful concept shows up in every beat. The mechanical sounds give it character, almost as if the track itself is stomping through the room.
What makes CLANKAS stand out is its commitment to sound design. CRACKAJACK recorded and produced the track entirely in his room at his parents’ house, experimenting with complex bass textures and layering techniques to create a sound that feels gritty but polished. You can hear his influences — WHZLY, MAD DUBZ, Subtronics, and Samplifire — but this isn’t just a copy of their style. CRACKAJACK pushes the trench bass approach into stranger territory, giving the track a unique personality.
There’s also something refreshing about the DIY approach. This is not a polished studio release built by a team of engineers — it’s a personal project that shows the hunger and curiosity of a rising artist. The result is a track that feels experimental and fun, but also serious about its craft. With CLANKAS, CRACKAJACK sets the tone for what’s to come as he prepares for his first headline performance this fall — live from his parents’ basement. It’s loud, strange, and creative — exactly what underground bass music should be.
