Native to Sydney, Australia Josh Cassidy has demonstrated a remarkable amount of personal growth over the course of the past year, refining the intricacies of his production and sinking his claws further into his own signature rendition of the trap genre. A melting pot of Australian talent, Cassidy’s collaborative remix of ‘Wasteland’ with fellow Aussie NYRVUS initially caught my eye, while his more recent explorations ‘Rebellon’ and ‘Trouble’ have confirmed him as an ambitious young name to watch with the come of the New Year.
Furthering the expanse of his creative depth comes the latest single from Cassidy ‘Ghetto’. A resounding echo, like the gentle dripping of a leaky pipe in a remote basement dungeon, furnishes the opening to the song. Without any forewarning, a blaring siren indicates a perilous future, joined by a crisp ensemble of snares that build the energy of the track to a pinnacle, before dropping into a grungy barrage of low rumbling synths and exquisitely placed breaks.
With a tremendous debut year behind him, Josh Cassidy will certainly be a name we keep an eye on with 2019, be sure to check out ‘Ghetto’ and grab the free download of the track here!
