‘Fallen’ is full of bliss and heaviness. From the soulful melodies and distorted bass in the beginning, to the impactful drums within the drop, this will have you grooving in the best ways possible. Every section holds a greater characteristic than the last. He’s always known how to fill in those little pockets of space with subtle but noticeable details. Which makes the song feel so grand. Once it leads off with a soft melody and light percussion, you’ll be begging for more.

The post Afrosamuraiist Slices Through The Spectrum With ‘Fallen’ appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

There’s no shortage of impressive tunes but as always a few standouts have caught my ear early on. GREGarious’ ‘Return of the Boom Bap’ is a must for hip-hop heads combining Rakim & Mos Def vocal samples with shimmering synths, groovy bass and careful cuts. Afrosamuraiist brings the ‘Flava’ with his delectable  contribution that’s meditative yet sultry. This one feels like doing yoga in clouds. Rounding out the standouts comes Sasha Rome & Capshun’s ‘I Need.’ It’s a driving and emotive blend of house and future feels. An apt close, it’s that bittersweet feeling of a vacation fling coming to an end.

The above picks are just a small sample of the wealth of vibes presented on PIL Society’s latest compilation. With music from ImBN, Alex Martian, tenkai, Makzo and many more, this is an absolute can’t miss. With any major travel plans on hold for the foreseeable future, let this be an audio vacation.

Starting strong is BONSAI co-founder capshun’s ‘FREAKOUT.’ The track is classic capshun; combining epic builds and breaks with forward-thinking plucks and knocking percussion. Fellow curators Afrosamuraiist & Sasha Rome follow with the vibe rich ‘The Abyss’ and the housey ‘Endure’ respectively. spüke’s ’emanate’ provides lush and futuristic bass lines that make it instantly addictive. ‘crashindacoup’ delivers some serious Masego vibes as Foolie $urfin’ pairs smoother than butter vocals over a mesmeric backdrop. Other standouts include Archr’s bouncy ‘Da Daa’ and the soothing slapper ‘Mercy’ from AN TY. The project also features Kilamanzego, MANTRABLU, Boy JUGO, harlyyn & náttúra.

We want to see Future Beats become the sound of 2020 and compilations like Hayashi are just what we need to help make it happen. Stream below and grab the free download.

Tell us about the mix. What was your vision when putting it together?

I really wanted this mix to be an insightful blend my taste for music, containing some of my old and more recent favourites, as well as my own productions (both released and unreleased). Starting off with a very relaxed melodic vibe, I wanted to build people progressively into the dancey mood full of future funk/house that you can’t help but move to!

Who is Afrosamuraiist?

Afrosamuraiist is my alias as a dancer/producer and something I aim to build that allows me to grow the two creative ventures together.

I had no idea what kind of music I was trying to make, but after a ton of experimenting with different sounds and techniques, my style of production progressively began to take shape.

How’s London treating you?

I am technically not currently based in London, but in a small town just outside of London. As for London itself, I love the energy, the variety in things to do and the limitless opportunities it provides. It is honestly an amazing place – I plan to move there ASAP.

How long have you been making music? Did it take you a while to find your own lane/style?

I have been making music for about three years now (although the first year I find very hard to count as I made very little music and never really pushed myself during that time). The second year of making music is when I really began to push myself. I put every ounce of energy I had into making as much music as possible: at the time I had no idea what kind of music I was trying to make, but after a ton of experimenting with different sounds and techniques, my style of production progressively began to take shape.

My dancing has definitely helped me creatively as a producer – I have always heard music in a very unusual way, and would pick up on really subtle things in a track that I found people ordinarily would never hear

In addition to producing you’re also a dancer. How do the two disciplines work together? Has being a producer made you a better dancer? Or has dance made you better at making music?

My dancing has definitely helped me creatively as a producer – I have always heard music in a very unusual way, and would pick up on really subtle things in a track that I found people ordinarily would never hear. I think that skill carried forward when I started making music and has given me an ear for the finer details of a track that I would not have otherwise had.

Producing music has given me a broader outlook for what to appreciate in a song when I am dancing and given context to my movements; rather than them being purely instinctive, they are now driven by a deeper knowledge and understanding for what the music holds.

future beats acts as a beautiful medium between the electronic music scene and the general masses. Easy to listen to but quirky enough to be appreciated by even the most technically advanced of producers.

The future beat sound has been seeing a second renaissance as of late. Do you think it’s going to be the next big wave in electronic music?

I think it has a huge amount of potential to do this – future beats acts as a beautiful medium between the electronic music scene and the general masses. Easy to listen to but quirky enough to be appreciated by even the most technically advanced of producers.

Last year you founded Magnified Art Alliance, can you tell us a little bit about what makes MAA special?

I have always felt that despite dancers and musicians have a strong common interest, the two communities seemed to be disconnected to me. Being a dancer myself, I often find myself split in two as I bounce between my passion for both. I also noticed that dancers are always on the search for new music and musicians are always looking for new opportunities to be heard. With this in mind, my goal with MAA was to bridge that gap and provide opportunities for the two communities to work together.

From MAA to Bonsai, to your Twitter, you really seems to be someone who’s keen on supporting artists and friends you believe in. Has this always been important to you?

In all honesty no. Before I started making music and taking my dancing more seriously, I think I was very aloof – by no means was I unsupportive, but I wouldn’t have said ‘supportive’ was a character trait of mine. Overall I was very accustomed to working alone and pushing myself without anyone encouraging me to do so – the major difference now, however, is that I have grown to understand just how much of an impact that even the smallest amount of encouragement or support can have. From being involved in people’s lives and allowing others to be involved in mine, I have grown as a person to see the genuine difference it can make.

You just dropped your On The Verge EP, what’s next for you musically?

I’ve got a ton of self releases coming up in the next few months, a couple of which will be steering away from my more traditional electronic funk style. I really want to focus heavily on pushing the limits of my productions more, but I’m looking forward to seeing how this new music I’ve been working on is taken.

What are looking forward to most this summer?

Honestly I’m looking forward to getting some hot weather because it has been too damn cold here in the UK for the last 6 months loool.

Being serious though, I’m mostly looking forward to going to my first Soulection show in July and competing in a few dance battles in London.

Anything else you’d like to tell your fans or the FUXWITHIT readers?

Stay hungry, stay focused and stay tuned because the second half of this year is about to be madness!! And to all that have been supportive of anything I’ve done, I can’t thank you enough, your support means the world!

The infectious bop is sure to get you moving and feeling elated. “When I started making the track, I got hooked on one random chop saying ‘My Body’. As I built up the song it really felt like one that resonated with the dancer within me. The bounce of the track I immediately found infectious and made it feel very difficult to stay still when making it in the early stages,” Afrosamuraiist tells us about the song’s creation. Everything he mentions translates over to listeners. The vocal chop is simple but exceptionally catchy and that bounce is assured to have your body moving. From spring influenced synths to the snapping drums, this feels like a breathe of fresh air as the weather warms. Bookended by stunning keys, ‘My Body’ is a beautiful sound that proves Afrosamuraiist just keeps improving.
