LA based producer Captsis has been a regular in our FUXWITHITFRIDAYS feature through 2018. He capped off the year in a massive way, landing his collaboration with Midnght in Quality Goods Records QGRC-004 Compilation. Today Captsis is back with his most adventurous work to date in ‘LOSTBOI.’
The track was inspired by Captsis’ recent trip to his homeland, “‘LOSTBOI’ is based on having the feeling of familiarity but not being able to quite pinpoint what it is. I was born in the Philippines but moved out to the US at such a young age of 2 years old. So all I really have is vague memories. So it’s like feeling like I’m lost but knowing this is my home and where my roots are.”
‘LOSTBOI’ allows listeners to explore the contrasting energy contained in the country. The opening and breaks are stunning, warming and intoxicating. You can practically feel the warm clear water passing through your fingertips as you sail by pristine, lush islands. “Palawan felt like paradise straight up, so soothing and beautiful. It was so peaceful and something completely different from the LA life I have gotten used too. The intro to ‘LOSTBOI’ is heavily inspired by the vibe,” Captsis expands.
As the track builds the drops take us to an entirely different physical space and energy. The relaxing beauty is replaced with a hectic intensity. Pounding bass, animalistic samples, dizzying synths and some ghostly vocals bring us into Manilla. “The drop is something that I wanted to contrast this and is a representation of the craziness in Manilla haha. People being everywhere, the hectic sounds of all the cars traffic, to all the buildings and billboards,” explains Captsis. The ferocity of the drops not only embody the city but connect to the internal struggle Captsis explained in the opening.
‘LOSTBOI’ is a transportational track that perfectly balances between rich vibes and heavy-hitting sections for a sound that’s sure to leave you lost in it all. Stream below and grab the free download.
