Xavage has had a massive year and all of his hard work and successes have culminated to the Stay Xavage EP, a statement work to cap off the year with a bang. The project, released on Circus Records, sees the LA-based producer at his finest, refusing to conform to genres and displaying an aptitude to jump between these with incredible grace.
Despite being named ‘In The Trap,’ the opening track of Stay Xavage utilizes rap vocals from DARKMARK to lure you in before a wonky experimental bass section flips the tune on its head. Flexing added production prowess, Xavage then bridges the second rap verse into a drum & bass section that is equally minimal as it is mesmerizing. ‘Error’ follows, seeing Xavage take his time to draw you in with sinister soundscapes before a foreboding build up leads listeners into a heavy bass drop that is filled with chaotic intricacies. Again playing on the unspoken beauty of combining trap and drum & bass, Xavage showcases his hypnotizing sound design throughout ‘Burn ‘Em Out’ and keeps you intrigued front start to finish. ‘Give Me All Your Love’ caps off the project with a flavourful blend of emotion and bass.
Overall, the Stay Xavage EP is sure to be a FUXWITHIT fan favourite. Don’t miss it below.
