BINKS & Bro Safari Unite For Exceptional EP ‘Blissful Patterns’

Colin — Sat, 10 Oct 2020 04:25:06 +0000

What happens when one of the most of the underrated producers out connects with a bass music legend? Today we receive the answer in audio form as BINKS & Bro Safari unite for the four track EP Blissful Patterns on Deadbeats. Both artists are renowned for their abilities to push the envelope within the trap and bass spaces and this project only furthers the fact.

‘Revival’ kicks the project off right, setting the tone with an air of mystique, promise and excitement. The drop is straight futuristic with an upbeat synth that’s spaced out and vibey. Female rap vocals, electric guitars and pulsing low end are sprinkled in the mix for additional flavour.

A true standout within the stellar output is ‘Deliverance.’ Wasting little time, the hypnotic loop gives way to what appears to be a DMX grunt before dropping into thick 808s and snappy drum work. The first half is agressive and gritty yet somehow smooth. A break complete with the sounds of rolling water and birds chirpings provides a fitting bridge to the wavy back half. If the first half of the track sounds like creeping down the block late at night with your windows rattling, the second is cruising the coastline with the top dropped and the sun beaming down.

For those expecting a hard-hitting sound from BINKS & Bro Safari, look no further than ‘Static.’ A distant and looped Weezy vocal comes into focus as the drop hits you with heavy dose of electricity that pulses through your ears and out of your extremities. It’s menacing, intense and increasingly brutish. Easily the hardest and most relentless track on Blissful Patterns.

Closing things off comes ‘Ignition,’ a nearly three minute sonic adventure. Drifting into the neuro realm, this one is jarring and complex. The gentle strings and ghostly vocals draw listeners into another dimension. A dimension where sound bends space and time. It’s a discombobulating journey that will have you questioning reality. Not to worry, they bring back the guitar for the outro to leave you with some sense of sanity…

Blissful Patterns is a diverse and enthralling trek through trap and bass. Bro Safari & BINKS once again remind listeners why they are are at the top of their game.

Craze & BINKS ‘Bring The Power Back’ To The Street

Colin — Fri, 08 May 2020 22:56:17 +0000

It’s no secret that Craze & BINKS are FUXWITHIT favourites. The former defines what the term legend means in relation to Djing, while the latter has been consistently dropping next level trap and bass bangers forever. Today the two connect for the impressive single ‘Bring The Power Back.’ The track is a must-listen for any bass head. A distant vocal sample creeps in and loops as the track ramps up. The words “bring the power back to the street,” act as a chant that becomes more powerful with each repetition. The bassline is pulsing and hard-hitting, as sirens and futuristic sounds scatter across the scene. Craze flexes scratch flourishes throughout, adding his signature sauce. The back half of the track takes an even more sinister direction as we’re hit with “dying over money and relying on religion.” The words hit as hard as the drops in a time were some countries are placing economic interest over human life. The production mirrors the darkness and is laced with grit. Bring the power back to the streets, where the people live.

Binks & Pryzms Join Forces On Their ‘Regenesis’ EP

Victor Lovo — Tue, 28 Apr 2020 02:43:11 +0000

Here at FUXWITHIT, we live and breathe for those no-nonsense trap records. One quick look around the scene and you’ll realize that these tracks are becoming few and far between nowadays. So many producers have swayed away from the sample/drum centric culture that built the foundation for the electronic trap genre, but there are some left that prefer to stick with their hip-hop roots and it shows. Binks and Pryzms have become regulars on SKRONG, one of the few labels that still pushes that FUX favorite trap sound and one that is run by an OG Trap legend himself, Mayhem. This time the two return to SKRONG with their Regenesis EP, a testament to everything that makes trap great.

Before the full release, we were blessed with the two lead singles from the project ‘Limitless’ and ‘Trip’. Both giving us a sense of what is to come, with 808-heavy beats and melodic grooves. Moving on we have ‘Aura’ which begins with a melody being played by these sliding 808’s, which is then soon joined by an assortment of horns playing counter-melodies. Finally, we have ‘Whip it’, which leans more towards the festival trap side, with these gritty industrial synths in the drop accompanied by these pounding 808s. Check out the full project down below!

BINKS Turns Up The Energy With His ’38 Special’ Remix

Victor Lovo — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 22:18:54 +0000

LA Native BINKS is no stranger to the trap game. Rewind to 2014, a simpler time where BINKS is one-half of the now infamous EDM trap duo, Pyramid Juke. Since then, the beat wizard has signed with trap legend Mayhem on his label SKRONG and has become one of the most relevant names on the roster. Starting in 2016 with his debut ep Frequencies, BINKS has constantly leveled up his production methods. Recently, the seasoned veteran teamed up with fellow label member Pryzms to give us two hard-hitting trap tracks with an emphasis on heavy-808s and hypnotizing melodic loops, but this time BINKS give us his take of Mayhem & Armanni Reign’s collaboration ’38 Special.’

Right from the start, we realize that the tone of this remix is slightly more menacing than the original. With brooding synths growling throughout the intro and an accelerando occurring within the percussion, the intro wonderfully builds suspense into the first drop section. During which, the emphasis placed on these large 808s combined with Armanni Reign’s unparalleled flow. Around two minutes, all vocals are dropped out and substituted with an almost brand new beat, with a heavy emphasis on the groove and melodies located within the percussion elements. Check out the full track down below!

Guest Mix + Inteview – BINKS

Colin — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 18:23:36 +0000

LA-based BINKS is a trap OG that still somehow remains slept on. As half of Pyramid Juke he helped to shape the electronic trap genre with a slew of bangers including the classic ‘Yen’ alongside Ookay. In the past few years, he’s launched his own solo project and signed with Mayhem’s SKRONG record label. With the release of his Frequencies, Hope and Transcendence EPs, BINKS has proven his skills continue to sharpen with time. 2020 is shaping up to be BINKS biggest year ever, with collaborative projects in the works with Bro Safari and PRYZMS, plus a ton of solo material on the way.

We caught up with BINKS for an exclusive guest mix and interview. The mix showcase BINKS heavy-hitting trap and bass style perfectly and even teases upcoming collabs alongside legends Bro Safari and Craze. As for the interview, we discuss his early trap roots, personal transformation, 2020 outlook and more.

Can you tell us about your roots in Pyramid Juke and your role in the early stages of electronic trap music?

So Pyramid Juke was one of the many artists who help set the direction of edm trap music. We didn’t blow up but we did make a lot of noise.The last EP we released was in 2014 on 12th Planet’s Record Label Smog. We were turning heads but we lacked consistency & effective communication so it fell apart.

You went through a pretty big personal transformation over the past few years. From a new exercise regimen and yoga, to a plant based diet and meditation. What prompted this change?

Well during my early 20’s I was feeling like shit all the time. Depression was kicking my ass & I was worried about how my health would turn out if I continued my poor lifestyle habits. So I searched for a solution to rid myself of the unpleasant feelings that have haunted me for years.

The changes impacted my life in such a positive way. I lost 60 pounds in total. I have more energy, I’m not depressed & I feel more focused than ever before.

How have the changes impacted your life and musical output?

The changes impacted my life in such a positive way. I lost 60 pounds in total. I have more energy, I’m not depressed & I feel more focused than ever before. I work a day job & go to the gym so it feels nice to still have energy for music.

How did you connect with Mayhem and Skrong? What’s it been like working with them?

Well after Pyramid Juke fell off, I started to release music on my own because the thought of not releasing any music made me sad. I picked a name that I thought sounded cool & started working. I released singles on my SoundCloud & Mayhem would always show love & drop comments on my tracks. Mayhem was the only OG at the time really fucking with my music & one day he sent me a message on SoundCloud asking if I would be down to drop an EP on his label SKRONG. Fast forward to 4 amazing years later & I’m still with them. Mayhem & SKRONG gave me hope again, I was sad after Pyramid Juke because I felt like maybe music was not meant for me. SKRONG showed me that music is & will always be meant for me.

I love adding specific percussion sounds in my songs because it reminds me of my ancestral background. It reminds me that they still live through me now & forever.

I read that you have indigenous roots. Has that any impact or influence on your music?

Yes I do! To the indigenous people of Mexico & it certainly does! I love adding specific percussion sounds in my songs because it reminds me of my ancestral background. It reminds me that they still live through me now & forever.

You seem to have an inclination for collaboration. What is it about working with other artists that you enjoy so much?

It’s nice having different perspectives when creating music, sometimes other people can see & hear things you can’t & that helps me observe the spectrum from a different lens.

Do you think coming up as part of duo had any impact on this?

It def played a role but I also enjoy having my own space to create.

I heard that you have an EP with Bro Safari in the works. What should we expect from it? Do you have any release timing in mind?

Yes I do! It’s been so much fun working with Nick! I actually dropped 2 IDs in this mix of our unreleased tunes so everyone can see what we got going on! As of right now no solid release date yet, but I will def keep y’all looped in!

So for 2020 I’ve got an EP with my boy Pryzms dropping on SKRONG, I have a collab with the OG Craze coming out on SLOW ROAST, I have collaborations with Mayhem, Armanni Reign, Drug Money, Nate Rose, ZIGGY2PLAYA & Kevin Flum…

What else do you have planned for 2020?

So for 2020 I’ve got an EP with my boy Pryzms dropping on SKRONG, I have a collab with the OG Craze coming out on SLOW ROAST, I have collaborations with Mayhem, Armanni Reign, Drug Money, Nate Rose, ZIGGY2PLAYA & Kevin Flum. I’m also working on another solo EP & still have about 10 more instrumentals that need rappers & singers so I’m def locked in for 2020.

Tell us about the mix. What should listeners expect. What was your aim when putting it together?

The aim of this mix was to show the listeners what to expect from the BINKS project in 2020. I added some unreleased tunes in this mix with the collaborators that I mentioned above & I also have some fairly recent singles of mine & other artists that have inspired me in this mix.

Any final words or advice you’d like to leave fans with?

Thank you for taking time out of your day to support me! I appreciate every single one of you so much! I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you. Remember if you have a dream go chase it & never give up! You are all worthy of greatness & love. Again, thank you, I love you! May the universe flow in your favor!

PREMIERE: BINKS & Pryzms Unleash Trap Anthem In ‘Limitless’

Steph Contant — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 22:03:57 +0000

BINKS and Pryzms are no strangers to working together. Just last month, they teamed up on the banging ‘Trip‘ to remind us all that the trap renaissance is in full effect, and today they return with another heater that will get your arms swinging.

‘Limitless’ is a track that will bring you back to the glory days of trap music without escaping the evolution that the genre has seen over the last few years. Combining elements of hip-hop and electronic music with ease, BINKS and Pryzms hypnotize you from the get-go with a pulsating bass that gradually builds with the addition of punchy percussion. As the drop hits, the true insanity of the track is unleashed as a metallic roar of synths and a pounding bassline drive the track forward. A short bridge to the ninety-second mark of ‘Limitless’ brings listeners to the highlight of the song, as the energy and intensity is lifted to new heights and does not let up until the track comes to a close.

Don’t miss ‘Limitless’ below.

BINKS And Pryzms Step It Up With ‘Trip’

Victor Lovo — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 22:16:09 +0000

As the year comes to a close, it’s more than clear that the trap renaissance is on the horizon. Binks and Pryzms are two of the trendsetting producers who are leading the charge. Residing on opposite coasts, the two young trap lords have been blazing their path. Pryzms, an Atlanta Native, is a versatile artist who isn’t afraid to venture outside dance music with production work for OJ Da Juiceman. On the other side, we have LA native Binks whose innovative production recently landed him an official remix for ATLiens’s ‘Shelter’ with the legend Bro Safari. The two merge their talents on their new track ‘Trip’.

Starting with an ominous loop of skillfully designed ambient melodies, the track immediately gives you that classic trap feel. Thirty seconds in, the speaker-rattling 808s take center stage as they encompass the low ends with a pleasing counter-melody. This theme continues throughout the remainder of the track until an additional spazzy flute melody enters the mix. By combining the essential elements of hip-hop and bass music, these two have created a new-wave trap banger. Check this one out below!

ATLiens Unleash Massive ‘Ghost Planet’ Remixes EP

Steph Contant — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 10:33:53 +0000

The ATLiens are among the best at having a keen acuity for what’s hot in the underground – just take a listen to their Lost Lands set and you’ll quickly understand. Their Ghost Planet EP dating back to July perfectly embodied how the trap scene has evolved over the years, while also hinting at what the future holds. Continuing along this theme, the masked duo have enlisted what can simply be described as the A-list of up-and-comers in the underground bass scene to remix the Ghost Planet EP, and fans are in for a real treat.

A versatile, eleven-track endeavour, Ghost Planet Remixes (Part 1) is bound to please a wide array of electronic music lovers. Dubstep fans can rejoice at the contributions from OG Nixin and Al Ross, while heavy house and electro fans can go crazy to Jacknife and Lektrique’s remixes. Sandwiched in between these two genres is an eclectic mix of gnarly bass from Leotrix, Moore Kismet, Bro Safari and BINKS, experimental weirdness from Bishu and Code:Pandorum, and wonky freeform from Space Wizard and FrostTop.

Don’t get us wrong; not all the remixers are new names to the scene. Despite this, they all take a forward-thinking approach with their respective takes on the tracks and bring a new life to their classic sounds.

BINKS Explores New Depths On ‘Ego’

Zach Bayha — Sat, 20 Jul 2019 17:28:30 +0000

LA based producer BINKS has been grinding away for the past few months, producing major trap and bass music bangers, most notably the recent collaborative EP BINKS has had with fellow producer, Gnosis. BINKS is back with a new track, titled ‘Ego’, where he ventures deep into a dark abyss.

Beginning with an ominous atmosphere, classic brass stabs, and hypnotizing shakers, BINKS crafts ‘Ego’ out of some clear trap influence. When ‘Ego’ drops, the listener is hit with a minimal drop, centered around a wavy, lead bass and a gritty, undulating bass. BINKS really makes ‘Ego’ stand out due to the simplistic, yet strong sound design and grooving beat.

Be sure to keep an eye on BINKS and stream ‘Ego’ below.
