capshun, TaDa, Arthus & Lenny. Seeing those 4 names together alone should make this an instant must-listen. If you still need convincing let’s dive into this mega-collab. It’s no secret that these artists are FUXWITHIT favourites so seeing them come together set the expectations high. Not to worry as the talented producers more than deliver with ‘Velocity.’
The laidback and vibey intro provides a serene atmosphere that is slowly ratcheted up. capshun delivers the first drop for a dizzying but clean sound that perfectly fuses future beats and trap. A looped vocal gives way to TaDa’s contribution as he takes things in a dirtier and more gritty direction. The midpoint serves as a smooth rest before Arthus brings the future beat bump to up the energy once more. A menacing chant and the “Lenny fuck me up” vocal prep you for the filthy final drop. Lenny brings the bass with a minimal but massive drop of devastating proportions.
The track came together when Lucid Monday hosted a collab challenge on their discord server a while ago. Challenge was to collaborate with an artist on the server you have never collabed with before, the finished tracks could be submitted and the winner would get featured on the next Lucid Monday drop. Somehow we 4 arranged to work together and started off using a wip by capshun. The whole project was a mess as we sent the stems back and forth tuning and adding stuff here and there. As I was the one to put the final touches on the mix and export it, my laptop had trouble opening and handling the flp. With 224 tracks, it’s by far the biggest project file I’ve worked on so far. Even though the 4 drops (capshun, TaDa, Arthus, Lenny, in order) all have their own feeling, the whole track itself has some spacey, uplifting vibes, hence we decided to call it ‘Velocity.’
