Vancouver based producer NXSTY has steadily risen in popularity over the past year, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. A handful of massive single releases such as ‘Coupe’ & ‘Break’ depict the devastating style of industrial trap that the Canada native totes, offering his formal introduction to the bass music scene.
While the young producer has more than demonstrated his proficiency in working independently, in his latest release ‘Paimon’ he teams up with budding riddim aficionado K-NINE for an unsuspected but perfectly fitting combination of unique sounds.
A reverberating synth provides the warm welcome for the tune, melting effortlessly into a slow-motion warped out sample which forewarns the impending doom, offering one last opportunity for retreat. A sinister melody haunts the background as the vocal loop grows in cadence, backed with a mighty hydraulic riser which lets loose a rattling invasion of tight metallic clicks. A short-lived reprise of the vocal loop breaks almost instantaneously into the second undulation of fluctuating bass quells, ensuring that the track leaves not a single survivor.
Presenting a blank canvas for two distinct styles to heighten and intensify one another, ‘Paimon’ validates the conclusion that the most unexpected collaborations can create the most resounding impact.
