Ray Volpe and Vastive Unleash the Metal-Infused Bass Anthem “GET SMACKED”
Ray Volpe Drops “GET SMACKED” as the Lead Single from His Highly Anticipated Debut Album, FOREVER, VOLPETRON.
Fresh off a massive sold-out headline tour, electronic powerhouse Ray Volpe drops the highly anticipated bass anthem, “GET SMACKED,” alongside rising star Vastive—a collab the bass community has been craving.
Fueled by scorching guitar riffs and the commanding lyrics, “Move back, get smacked, are you ready?” the track surges with raw intensity before detonating into a relentless barrage of face-melting dubstep drops, tailor-made for headbanging, mosh pits, and all-out dancefloor chaos.
Teaming up with rising force Vastive, Volpe fuses metal, trap, and hip-hop influences into a genre-defying bass anthem, primed to dominate festival stages worldwide. “GET SMACKED” has already caught fire with industry giants, with DJ SNAKE kicking off his THE OUTLAW set at Lost Lands last year with this explosive banger. Now, it’s ready to shake the scene like never before.
Ray Volpe shares, “GET SMACKED” really jumpstarts my debut album season into full swing. Working with Vastive felt very natural; we both have a love for metal music and interesting flows to bring into the heavy bass sector of the dance scene. There’s a lot of different inspirations and styles that complement each other as this song goes on, which it really does just keep going. There’s a lot of changes throughout, which I think is really nicely reflected on the album coming up as a whole - it’s not all just one specific sound. I couldn’t be more proud to kick things off with “GET SMACKED.” From the catchy repetitive vocal chant, to the live playability, to the little hip hop/trap section at the end. It just screams pure energy. I’m so proud of this first single of the album and I can’t wait to share more.”
Vastive adds, “Ray and I had been talking about collaborating for quite some time. Our tune was actually originally just a live plate I had written on tour a while back and he’d been playing it for months. Once the time came that we both had time to work together, it was a no brainer this was the one we wanted to develop. I can honestly say I had a TON of fun working with him on it. Between all the late nights and constant voice memos of ideas, it felt great to be writing with excitement. I couldn’t be any more stoked on the outcome. I feel this best represents both our sounds and the energy we bring to our sets in a fun light.”
