And to see him team up with the Colson XL boys once again is purely exhilarating and exciting!

We chose ‘Dreamgirl’ to be the first song because it sets the stage for the story being told for the rest of the EP – it’s the happy, most optimistic point of the story before descending into something darker and more sinister. The calm before the storm. – Colson XL 

They sent me the instrumental late at night and I remember sending them the vocals back 2 hours later. It was one of those songs that kinda wrote itself. The concept of the song was something I wanted to write about for a long time. – ero808

‘Dreamgirl’ is a wavy and pain-reducing treatment for heartbreak. It captures both musician’s essence in the most beautiful way possible. Opening with a calming and soothing bass to set up the storyline, Colson XL make sure to give ero808 a complete spotlight for his introduction. And he does not disappoint in the slightest. He completely takes the opportunity to exert everything he’s got. Tear-jerking vocals together with relatable lyrics will truly take over your heart. Covering your body in chills.

Not to mention Colson’s playful percussion and jaw-dropping vocal chops within the chorus. Creating an even grander impact than ever. Showcasing exponential growth and evolution they’ve gone through over the years. It’s a song that makes you feel you can take on the world with strength and integrity. Its uplifting aura fusing with a darker tone throughout is such a challenging goal to accomplish. But its execution is flawless. From beginning to end, this high quality work of modern art will stick around for many years to come. Pushing unique techniques and a tale you’ll adore. Bravo to all of them. So make sure to go support by streaming ‘Dreamgirl’ everywhere and look out for the full EP August 26th.

Although they’re both based in Texas, INDAZE and Cxste Cvstle connected through the Vapor Twitch community and haven’t looked back since. While they’ve only released a few songs between them, the two have been proving themselves as producers to be reckoned with, with each and every release. ‘Gold’ is no different. It’s CARLIE‘s silky singing and alluring lyrics that suck you in, but it’s INDAZE and Cxste Cvstle’s bombastic beatmaking that keeps you there. ‘Gold’ will be their first release on TXTR Records, but we hope it won’t be their last.

Listen to INDAZE, Cxstle Cvstle, and CARLIE link up for ‘Gold’ below.

“I sent an acoustic version to cap. Mind you, I was nobody. I mean, I still am nobody, lol. But cap heard something in it, and he took a chance with it. And I’m super grateful for that. His production really embodies it. And brought it to a whole other level. A level I couldn’t even imagine. That first drop is insane! And then he got the Colson XL Boys on it for that second drop, and second half of the song. Good lord, I remember when I first heard the whole thing together. My mind was absolutely blown. I’ll never understand how they put so much heart and emotion into everything they do. It’s crazy to me.” – ero808

Right from the get-go, you’re automatically stunned with awe and curiosity from the brand new haunting and gorgeous atmosphere being incorporated. Immediately knowing it has their names written all over it. From a deep reece bass complimenting the vocal to a new degree, to an impactful build to get your spirits moving, the track will hypnotize anyone in its’ path. You’ll be eager and shaking with excitement to hear what’s next. And once the chorus hits, it’s like a dark wave rushing over your entire body in the form of a healing remedy. Telling you everything will be ok. Striking with a feeling you’ll carry for a lifetime. A true unexplainable force.

Continuing with the same arrangement from the beginning, the breakdown gives the listener a break to prepare for what’s to come. Tying everything together, the final chorus is a blast of committed energy and passion. It honors all aspects and portions of the song to its highest limit. Bringing nothing but a satisfied smile and good energy to your life. Every artist apart of this project really gave it their all. From start to finish, they’ve yet again created a priceless gem in the vault of classics. So make sure to go support by streaming their remix everywhere!

The post capshun And Colson XL Bring The Rain Down With Their Remix Of ero808’s ‘Tattoos’ appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

Tell us about the mix you put together. What’s the vibe? What is this the soundtrack for?

We think the music we produce covers a wide range of styles and rhythms and we wanted this mix to reflect that. So it’s pretty eclectic and includes our more pop-leaning tracks while also featuring some of the harder music we’ve made/enjoy listening to. It’s a reflection of where we’ve been with a little taste of where we intend to go.

How’s Austin treating you? What brought you there?

Obviously with Covid we aren’t leaving the house too much, so we haven’t gotten to experience a lot of the city so far. One thing we can say though is the food is incredible and cheap – I don’t think we had real BBQ until we came here but it was a life-changing experience. We’re very much looking forward to learning more about the music scene and nightlife once it’s safer to do so. Oh, and the people are weirdly nice. I mean, you can’t get a taco from the local spot without smiling or laughing. It’s absurd, but endearing.

We had been living in LA for 2 years prior and the majority of our second year there was during quarantine. We were hardly leaving the apartment and never getting to enjoy the benefits of living in LA but we were still paying a premium on rent, so it stopped making sense to stay. Austin is a much less expensive city, still has a great music scene, and is generally warm (except for this freak snowstorm that wreaked havoc last week).

as we approached graduating Uni and were faced with what to do with the rest of our lives, we made the highly intelligent decision to forgo what we learned in college and pursue music instead.

What inspired you to start making music together? 

Great question. Frankly, it was sort of just a natural progression from listening to creating. We had both always been patrons of the music industry and as we approached graduating Uni and were faced with what to do with the rest of our lives, we made the highly intelligent decision to forgo what we learned in college and pursue music instead. We’ve been friends for something like 19 or so years, so it just made sense that if we shared this interest and ambition we may as well do it together. Each of us having a degree has made supporting ourselves and our music immensely less difficult, but it comes at the cost of 40 hours a week towards something we aren’t passionate about. Creating a livable income out of music is an enormous goal of ours and the day we achieve it is the day we’ll finally consider ourselves successful

What’s your favorite thing about one another?

Harrison: One of my favorite qualities about Cole (there are many) is he has a desire to understand the how of a process works before he applies new techniques. He takes a really directed, holistic approach that I very much admire and his hunger and process for learning has been instrumental to our growth.

Cole: Damn, it’s hard to pick a favorite. I really want to touch on two things about Harrison that I love. He is an achiever. He sets goals, works his ass off to become outrageously good at what he does, and develops habits to ensure he doesn’t fall off the wagon during his journey to inevitable success. I cannot begin to tell you how much I admire that about him. He is also incredibly considerate. I remember this one time when I asked how he so consistently considers other’s perspectives, he said “Cole, have you ever been on reddit and watched something absolutely ridiculous and thought ‘Oh, I would never do that’? Yeah, well, you would. In the moment, you would. We all would. We all, at some point, are that stupid.” I thought that was hilarious, but also rather profound.

You’ve been writing some beautiful melodic music. What’s the secret to creating a great melody?

Sheesh, you’re asking us to give away our creative process in hopes that others might find something useful in it? Sign us up :)

This isn’t going to be a great answer, but it’s an honest one. There really isn’t a “secret.” However, if there was anything we could impart to others regarding melodies, it’s that there are an endless number of them and never stop experimenting. Even if you feel you found “the one”. Your melody has to interact perfectly with your bassline, your chords, vocals (if there are any), and pretty much EVERYTHING in the track. Sure, you might write a melody that works in 2 minutes, but is it the BEST melody for that track? Who knows; and you won’t know until you test another 10 or 20. So go crazy. Don’t get attached to anything, and don’t delete anything. You never know what you might end up stumbling on :)

You tweeted that you’ve been producing in bed. How does that change the vibe? 

It’s a much more relaxing vibe with less pressure to create something specific. I (Harrison) like to create a lot of ideas quickly until I find one that sticks, I tend not to get attached to ideas, and the casual nature of laying down in bed on my laptop just compliments that really well  

What do you look forward to outside of music?
Food and anime. We also have a pretty active discord we are a part of. There are what seem to be non-stop additions so it’s been great meeting new people while we are stuck at home. Discord and Zoom calls have definitely made life in quarantine much more bearable and we always look forward to hopping on chat with the homies to relax.

I (Cole) also do a fair amount of gaming. I gamed a lot when I was younger (I mean A LOT) and I struggled to break the habit of playing for hours on end nearly every day in order to pursue music more aggressively. Thankfully I’ve been able to achieve a healthy balance, and I’ve also found gaming to be an awesome social tool within the music industry. It’s been a great outlet to destress as well as meet and develop relationships with others.

We need to network more, collaborate with more artists, continue building our audience, and never stop making music – also, TikTok.

It feels like you are on the cusp of really breaking out this year. Do you feel it as well? What do you think it’ll take to really make it happen? 

Wow. Well, first, thank you for thinking that. It is tremendously encouraging and humbling to hear that from someone who has worked and grown SO much in this industry. I think, in classic type A fashion, we are CONSTANTLY comparing our successes and achievements to those around us and those we admire. We rarely take a moment to stop and look around at what we’ve accomplished. I mean, we released 19 songs in our first full year as Colson XL, and that was just last year. I think we stopped to appreciate that long enough to post on Instagram, and then the moment was over and we were already looking ahead to what we would do next, how we would exceed that number this year.

We are extremely grateful for how much we’ve grown since we started this project, all the people who’ve supported us, and we do have a lot planned for this year that we are really excited for. We aren’t entirely sure what “breaking out” is going to look like for us, but we DO know what we need to do to make it happen. We need to network more, collaborate with more artists, continue building our audience, and never stop making music – also, TikTok.

What is one thing you each want to get out of 2021?

Cole: Wow, what a question. Top of the list; Covid-19 vaccine. Once that’s out of the way, well…the list gets pretty long I want to make friends. That probably seems ridiculous, but it’s kind of really important to me, and absolutely terrifying. Without going into too much detail, I’ve been working extraordinarily hard on developing myself as an individual; learning and solidifying who I want to be and taking the necessary steps forward to becoming that person. That’s not to say I’ve got it figured out or that I’m anywhere near where I want to be, but so long as I’m open-minded and at least moving in the “right” direction, then I consider that a W. It’s been a shitload of work and frankly, I want to find out where I’m at! I see socializing and (hopefully) making new friends as a means of testing out this new “me” that I’ve put all this effort into. My biggest hope is just that he doesn’t totally suck :)

Harrison: Definitely the covid vaccine as well, but also a song with a million streams on Spotify and Apple music. That’s a nut we really want to crack.

Any final words?

Yeah! WE GOT MERCH – coming soon, haha. Probably an EP as well / details on that are pending. We are really excited about what 2021 has in store for Colson XL, and immensely grateful for all the love and support we’ve received along our journey. Thank you so much asking us to do a FUXWITHIT Guest Mix. It’s been a goal of ours for quite a while now, so this is pretty surreal but incredibly rewarding.

The post Guest Mix + Interview – Colson XL appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

‘Take Me There’ captures a feeling of nostalgia and an intense, longing desire to go back in time. Thinking about the past in relation to the present can be overwhelming and painful. That ache and yearning to return to a former self or moment in time is often driven by a dissatisfaction with who or where we are now. We wanted to express this by having the soft, atmospheric pads of the intro guide the listeners back to the past before exploding into the distorted, melodic, dance-focused elements of the drops that represent the return to a time lost.

COLE & HARRISON, COLSON XL

Void of lyrics, the listener is almost forced to be introspective listening to the tune. As sparkling synths and buoyant basslines guide you, you’re taken through a wave of emotions from start to finish. Bringing up old memories can be bittersweet, but it’s the only way we can commit to growth – something that Colson XL has been doing a lot in their career. Harrison gave us his tips on the subject, “We’ve found that the best way to grow is through consistency. For this project, we’ve released at least one song a month, and it has forced us to learn so much about music and the industry. So you can expect to see that continue in 2021.”

Cole then shared what we can expect from them in this coming year saying, “We really want 2021 to be a year of defining Colson XL (especially after the chaos and uncertainty brought on by 2020). As we’ve grown as both artists and people we feel eager and empowered to hone in on the aesthetic, sound, and personality that makes Colson XL a genuine representation of both of us. We’ve got merch, label releases, oh and we may or may not have plans for a Colson XL first this year. Hint: it’s our debut EP ;)”

It’s really been a pleasure to see the exponential development of their career, even just in the last year. Suffice to say, Colson XL has quickly become a FUXWITHIT fave and we’re super excited to give our readers the first listen of ‘Take Me There.’
