What is Study Group? This mysterious name and logo has been popping up while I’ve been looking for music and music-related news, but I never knew what it was. I signed up for their mailing list so I could be in the know, however I still didn’t know. I was able to gather that it was headed up by NYC’s own Mark Martinez (aka Subset) and that’s about it.

Earlier this week they finally revealed themselves with the first release. It’s a compilation of forward-thinking bass music ranging from trap to booty-tech house. It’s mostly from artists that are still slightly under the radar but put on this release for good reason. Word has it that Study Group will also live up to its name by holding events that helps artists collaborate, elevate, and learn from each other.

I’m really excited for this vision to come to fruition, as Mark has quite a unique idea here. All of the songs on here are up for free download so grab ’em all here. Make sure you support Study Group by following them on SoundCloud and Facebook and join the mailing list here.
