Vancouver-based Bowen Sanderson must have the stamina and conditioning of a champion racehorse, as he hasn’t let up on the reigns for an instant since galloping out of the gate at full speed since the start of 2019. While the utter quantity of releases alone beckons the penultimate debate between quantity vs. quality, NXTSY pulverizes the controversy entirely with dynamic releases such as ‘Paimon’, ‘Flex’ and his latest ‘Z O N E’, which flow together in effortless synchronicity.
Absorptive, water-like synths paint a vivid, tropical landscape perfectly suitable for a languid vocal dialogue between Kresnt & Nessly. As an incisive snare roll echoes through the soundscape an indistinguishable bass undertone kicks into effect as NXSTY begins to meld his influence. The cadence of the track precipitates as a mesmerizing riser commences a captivating drop of thundering bass notes and delightful percussion fills.
While previous releases have more than demonstrated NXSTY’s nearly cataclysmic walls of bass, a more sub-heavy focus paired with captivating percussion and the right touch of vocals establish ‘Z O N E’ just as lethal as its predecessors.
Embarking on his debut expedition as a performer, the GET BUCK tour builds upon the momentum and following that NXSTY has transpired in the past two years, and presents an opportunity for Sanderson to handcraft a holistic audiovisual experience to showcase the depth and complexity of his talent.
