SHOUT OUTS
“Hans Glader is from California, and is easily one of the most talented people I’ve worked with. It’s so good to see the UK sound being done in America but with a special twist. I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy was the next big thing …”
– Sammy Virji
“Hans Glader won my Twitch Sample Battle back in September 2020. He took a handful of basic samples and made such a beautiful and fully developed song out of it. So I asked if he wanted to do an EP for Night Bass. Feels so good to put out something a bit deeper and more thoughtful on Night Bass.”
– AC Slater
