Laxcity is not an artist known for collaborations. By memory, I can recall just three examples before ‘Fluorish,’ all in collaboration with Rohaan. If you don’t remember at least one, well you need to take some bass history classes. I’m obviously referring to ‘First Of Many‘, released on Jadu Dala in 2017. A groundbreaking tune that definitely created some buzz back then. But why am I spending words on an old release when we have some extra fresh music to talk about? Because it taught me that even if laxcity is definitely not a “collab bro?” kind of artist, when he actually does, he always delivers.
Part of the four Moore Kismet songs released the past Friday, ‘Flourish’ establishes itself as the hardest-hitting one of the group. Given the very distinctive styles of the two producers, it’s super fun to try to pinpoint their signature sounds within the body of the track. The intro and especially the outro are clearly dominated by laxcity’s cinematic and orchestral soundscape with cameos by Kismet’s glitchy synths and vocal choices. The build-up instead is 100% Moore Kismet style. Loud, noisy, galvanizing. As happened in ‘First Of Many,’ in the drop things definitely get mental. I candidly admit that I haven’t even tried to figure out who did what. As an average human being, I simply admire what these two amazing artists have accomplished without asking questions. Want to show your friends the endless potential of electronic music? Show them ‘Flourish’ and they will surely understand.
