‘Mirage’ draws you into a trance with its opening filled with vocal samples reminiscent of hallucinations one might have while wandering the Sahara desert. Next, the drums kick in and drive things into full force, quickening the pace and spiking adrenal levels, as your body prepares for its dopamine receptors to light up like a Christmas tree. “Slap” is much too soft of a word to describe how hard this song hits, as it feels like the Hulk is practicing his jabs on an unsuspecting human body bag. It doesn’t matter what dance move you bust out to get weird to this song with, all that’s certain is that you’ll be doing it viciously with a massive grin on your face.

Just when you think 13 couldn’t possibly have another release in store, he proves time and time again that he’s just getting started. Make sure to check out ‘Mirage’ for yourself below!

The post 13 Commits Sonic Assault With ‘Mirage’ appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

Curating more than his music, 13 is a personality. Living in anonymity, he lets his product speak for itself. Since his debut single in 2017, ‘Eradicate,’ 13 has garnered major attention from numerous headliners across the industry, most notably Bassnectar and Rezz. Sharing very similar sounds, 13 and Rezz are kindred spirits, having come together twice already with their releases ‘Drugs’ and ‘The Crazy Ones,’ which was featured on Rezz’s Certain Kinds of Magic. Fans of dark, crunchy, eerie bass music will feel right at home with his sound.

13’s newest EP, New World Order is a sonic embodiment of everything that he stands for. After listening to the work in its entirety, it’s easy to see that 13 has honed his analogue-focused sound, presenting a work that feels exceedingly individualistic and full of character. Prevalent in these songs are little elements that add stylistic accents, allowing to please both the person half-listening with the music in the background, and those fully immersing themselves into this audible experience. It’s easy to hear just how much time and effort when into crafting this work.

The first track on the EP is ‘Uppercut,’ a track that should be familiar to anyone that has seen Rezz in recent months. Featuring an ominous lead with ear-pleasing vocal cuts, this could be the hype song for charging into battle with an army of the dead. The first stop stays true to its name, with a gritty, punchy bass-line that can be best described as an energetic eeriness. The later drop is much more bouncy, but still retains that tight sexiness. This song will have dance floors gyrating for a long time to come.

Next, ‘Lost Voices’ features an intro that sounds like a roller coaster ticking up the tracks, fitting as it quickly accelerates into a nasty, trappy banger. The synths prevalent create a very spooky atmosphere, harnessing a sense of urgency that builds up emotion as it does the beat.

Last comes ‘Rude Boy’, a great way to end the album due to it being the least aggressive of the songs on the EP. It still carries his distinctive sound, but with slightly less intensity. Since ‘Rude Boy’ is much less in-your-face, it’s easier to get lost in.

13 continues his name’s legacy by indeed shaking things up. Quickly becoming one of the major players in the realms of midtempo, who knows where he could end up in the coming years. For now, Old World Order is another success in a steadily growing list of accolades. The future for 13 is very bright, or should I say dark and mysterious?

The post 13: Old World Order, New Age Noise appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

Everything starts off light, playful, and wonky, and, like the singles that came before it, has Rezz’s signature air of mystery to open the track. However, it peaks hard at the drop, and packs a heavy punch with each beat; the drop features a nice blend of 13’s grungy wubs, with Rezz’s beat formation laid down as a solid foundation. Overall, it feels like an uneasy trip that you just can’t get enough of.

Mass Manipulation finally releases in its entirety next week. Pre-order the album, and prepare for the musical maelstrom that the Queen of Darkness has in store for us!
