Both Party Favor and Nonsens have had relatively longstanding careers in the electronic music world, albeit in different world markets. Dylan Ragland, known by Party Favor, got his start playing in local LA clubs after college, mixing electo and dutch house. From there he went on to making bombastic beats that skyrocket your inner urge to twerk to your heart’s desire. Nonsens consists of a Dutch trio that grew up together, turning childhood friendships into a massively successful communal project. Now these two have joined forces to bring something I’d be wary of calling fire, simply because it’s ‘Gasoline’.
In the beginning of ‘Gasoline’ you can unmistakably hear the underlying house influence of Nonsens, with wonderfully chopped female vocals that really get your body gyrating before descending into a hardcore electro build that makes you feel like you’re at the start of a light-bike race in Tron. “Gimme a motha fuckin beat” is used as the pre-drop sample and man do they deliver, smacking you in the face with a bass-filled trap extravaganza. Just like actual gas will keep your car running, this song will keep you kicking all day and night, straight petrol for the soul.
