DJ DIESEL, GorillaT & FRAXURE Unleash New Bass Weapon ‘Pay Respect’

Shaquille O’Neal, performing as DJ DIESEL, has teamed up with GorillaT and rising producer FRAXURE for a thunderous new release titled “Pay Respect.” Their collaboration arrives on Monstercat and captures the unrelenting spirit of the artists’ shared presence in the bass scene.

The track is rooted in high-intensity sound design. A trap-leaning intro leads with raw suspense before DJ DIESEL’s unmistakable vocal stamp kicks off a heavy, distorted drop. “Pay Respect” thrives on contrast, balancing sharp rhythm switches with moments of explosive bass and metallic textures that reflect all three producers’ distinct styles.

This release follows the announcement of DJ DIESEL and GorillaT performing together at the upcoming Bass All Stars event hosted at Mana Wynwood tomorrow. They will be sharing the stage with major acts including Two Friends, Jon Casey and Celo, signaling a massive night for bass fans. The track doubles as both a preview of that live energy and a statement on where the collaboration stands creatively.

GorillaT continues to evolve, bringing his fearless approach to genre-mixing and signature high-octane performances that keep fans locked in. His performances on the Wonk Factory Tour helped solidify his unique lane in bass music.

FRAXURE, known for bridging drum and bass with modern dubstep and experimental tones, brings his crisp production chops to the forefront on this release, adding depth and new texture to the mix.

Beyond the sonics, the collaboration embodies DJ DIESEL’s approach to pushing the culture forward. By working closely with emerging producers rather than only spotlighting them, he helps create tracks that reflect authentic synergy and mutual influence.

“Pay Respect” delivers exactly what the title promises, recognition and force, wrapped in a hard-hitting sound that sets the tone for what is shaping up to be a defining season for each artist involved.
