UK bass innovator SICARIA returns with her powerful new EP ‘Anti Nihilo’ on Backshift Sounds, blending dubstep, grime, and breaks into a sonic rebellion against modern nihilism.
A Sonic Rebellion Against Nihilism
Bass visionary SICARIA has dropped her latest EP, ‘Anti Nihilo’, via Backshift Sounds — a four-track manifesto that pushes back against the apathy and disconnection of today’s world. The project channels raw emotion into sound, transforming chaos into rhythm and resistance.
Described as “a response to a growing sense of nihilism — a feeling of helplessness in the face of a world that often feels chaotic and unchanging,” the EP encapsulates SICARIA’s mission: to turn frustration into fierce creative energy.
Four Tracks, Four Identities
Each track on ‘Anti Nihilo’ explores a different facet of SICARIA’s hybrid bass sound, weaving together dubstep, breaks, grime, and deep sound system culture. The result is a project that feels as experimental as it is explosive — a statement of intent from one of the UK’s most exciting producers.
The EP features Bristol MC Emz on the standout single ‘Moving FWD>>’, while last month’s high-energy release ‘Be The Glitch’ also makes the cut. Together, they showcase SICARIA’s balance of heavy bass pressure and intricate rhythmic storytelling.
Continuing an Evolution
Following her acclaimed debut ‘Blood, Sweat & Self’ in 2023 — and its remix companion featuring Introspekt, Anna Morgan, Saliah, and Kyrist — ‘Anti Nihilo’ represents the next phase in SICARIA’s evolution. It’s darker, sharper, and more reflective, a distillation of the artist’s identity and defiance.
A Year of Momentum and Movement
2024 has been a landmark year for SICARIA. She’s shared a B2B set with Sir Spyro on BBC 1Xtra, made her Tomorrowland debut, and announced a world tour spanning North America, Australia, Asia, and Europe. Next week, she joins SHERELLE for a new Sweatbox mix on BBC 6Music — another testament to her unstoppable rise.
‘Anti Nihilo’ isn’t just an EP — it’s a statement of purpose. A challenge to meaninglessness. A declaration that even in chaos, there’s rhythm, energy, and rebellion.
