It’s hard to believe that it has been almost a full year since IKYGUY’s last release. Late last year, we had the opportunity to premiere the endearing ‘Passing of Youth II‘ from the Toronto-based artist, and he has since gone on a hiatus battling his inner demons, until now. Coming back stronger than ever, IKYGUY returns with the epic ‘Ego Death,’ a track that will leave you in total amazement of the talented producer’s versatility.
“I’m excited, nervous and anxious for ‘Ego Death.’ This is a pivotal release for me. It’s the moment I’ve said f*ck it, I’m done with the negative self talk & my ego weighing me down,” IKYGUY states about the track. Here on FUXWITHIT, we are ecstatic that he has adopted this new mindset about his music, as his talents shine brighter than ever in his latest.
‘Ego Death’ is something completely new from IKYGUY, where he explores various realms of bass music to create a frenzy-inducing heater. Steadily building tension for the first minute of the track, IKYGUY’s musical abilities are at the forefront of the introduction. As the song reaches its climax, a monstrous wall of bass hits you directly in the gut, where influences from dubstep, trap and midtempo are meshed flawlessly. A soothing bridge provides a welcome interlude to ‘Ego Death,’ before IKYGUY unleashes additional fury in a nostalgic drumstep second half.
