chris javey has been steadily heating up the electronic scene with his upbeat and soulful sound. From collaborations with FUXWITHIT favorites like capshun and Eyezic, to the addictive summer sizzler ‘Crazy On My Mind’ alongside 1981 Tokyo and Shaolinn, and a slew of stellar edits, chriz javey continues to impress. His style transcends genres, effortlessly moving from house and UKG to trap, DnB, Amapiano, and beyond.
With just a few days left of summer, we felt it was only right to cap off the warm-weather season with an appropriately hot guest mix and interview with chriz javey. The mix is 45 minutes of his signature style blending RnB and classic dance influences with fresh house and UKG grooves. In our interview, we discuss his journey as an artist, the benefits of producing across genres, advice for artists, explore what he’s bumping on repeat, and much more.
Tell us about the mix. Where are we headed when we press play?
A High Energy Soulful House Mix. Something you can sweat, sing, cry, and dance to, all at the same time.
How’s life treating you?
I can’t complain. I moved to DC about 2-3 years ago, and I’ve been having a ball out here. I’m close to my family and friends in Ohio, I’m close to NY if I need to go up there, and I’m in the middle of everything on the East Coast. It’s great.
What inspired you to start making music? How has the journey evolved?
If it wasn’t for Heavy Metal, I don’t think I would be here. I remember when Korn collaborated with Skrillex, and I was trying so hard to emulate what was being done in that song on guitar. I then realized most of Skrillex’s part was done on a computer, and the rest was history lol.
Never give up and always be yourself.
You’ve been releasing music for over a decade now. What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned in this time?
Never give up and always be yourself.
You’ve released music across a wide array of genres, from house and UKG to trap, DnB, Amapiano, drill, and beyond. What draws you to creating a song in a specific genre?
I ask myself what is missing in the type of genre, where it’s house, amapiano etc. and I’ll create a vibe around that and see how it does while I’m DJing for crowds.
You can learn one genre outside of the norm, and then apply elements of that genre to another. It’s fun experimenting.
Has producing across genres impacted how you create? If so, how?
It does, it keeps me from getting bored of making music. I don’t think I could sit and strictly make the same thing over and over. But that’s how you discover new things. You can learn one genre outside of the norm, and then apply elements of that genre to another. It’s fun experimenting.
What advice would you give new producers who are trying to level up?
YouTube University and a good Reddit community are your best friends. Also, making good content is what’s gonna separate you from everyone else.
What are you most excited about for the rest of the year?
I’m excited to spend time with family and friends for the holiday season. Also hoping I can take a vacation before the new year starts.
I’ve been teasing so much unreleased music, seeing what works and what doesn’t work. I can definitely promise new music but I’m hoping to be more consistent in the upcoming years of 2027.
What’s on the horizon in terms of new music?
I’ve been teasing so much unreleased music, seeing what works and what doesn’t work. I can definitely promise new music but I’m hoping to be more consistent in the upcoming year of 2027.
What have you been listening to on repeat lately?
A lot of MPH, Kettama, and TwoFaced. I think the only type of dubstep I’m listening to at the moment is beastboi. I’m really digging Leon Thomas, Odeal and Babyfxce E at the moment as well.
What do you enjoy most outside of music?
I’ve recently been loving going to the gym and running around DC, keeping my mile pace time under 10 minutes, at least!
Any final words for fans?
I hope to meet you guys at festivals real soon!
