The first drop was really intended to make you feel cool. I thought of riding through a city with the top down, just feeling myself haha. The second drop was made to intensify the emotion of the song and really just summarize the whole idea as a constant buildup into that second drop. It gets heavier as well, as I’m trying to show people that I’m gradually getting into a heavier style of music.  – cozy kev

The post cozy kev And litothedon ‘saygoodnight’ To The Spirits Around Us appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

The mix is a true showcase of his talent with every song coming from the producer himself. With the large portion of the mix being unreleased IDs, it’s an absolute can’t miss. As for the interview we spoke to kev about why he makes music, what makes a good collab, what a perfect day looks like to him, and what’s on the horizon. Check both out below.

Tell us about the mix. Where are you taking listeners with this?

Well, I wanted to show off a few WIPs (some unmixed) that are capable of displaying my progression as an artist!

Why do you make music?

At first it was more of a naive ego driven goal, but eventually I got good enough to realize my music heals which was amazing! This changed my whole incentive for the cozy kev project.

The majority of the songs off of complacency are collaborations. What do you enjoy most about working with other artists?

The ability to bounce ideas has come very natural to me, and it’s good to challenge myself to adapt to other artists’ styles and try to execute as best as I can.

What makes a good collab?

I think a wide range of dynamics and change throughout a song that simultaneously showcases each artists craft is always a good approach to a collaboration.

A number of your tracks include your own vocals. How do you balance being a producer and singer? Do you find yourself being pulled more towards one or the other?

Yes! In fact, it has become so crucial that every day I wake up, I choose one path or the other. It seems like madness in the moment but it’s the very thing keeping me balanced.

Do you think being a producer has made you a better singer or vice-versa?

Yes for both. My right hand, lead capability would be nothing without my voice.

After meeting them and some other Bonsai members in real life I felt like I belonged with them.

Congrats on joining the BONSAI roster. What made you want to be a part of their team? What does that relationship look like now?

Capshun found me at around 700 followers. Things weren’t looking good musically and I was ready to quit. If it weren’t for him and Chromonicci reaching out to me, I wouldn’t have seen potential in myself. After meeting them and some other Bonsai members in real life I felt like I belonged with them. They were very welcoming and mature so it was very easy to join Bonsai as Cap made it clear I was welcome from the start. Now I’m getting to know the other members and we are creating opportunities for each other which is always exciting.

You said that you’re sitting on some of the best music you’ve ever made right now. When should fans expect to hear it? Are you planning to drop singles or is another project in the works?

These next few months are going to be insane! Expect a lot from me. I will be dropping mostly singles and collaborations with other artists/collectives on projects and EPs.

Seeing the Yosemite waterfalls with my best friend while making music on my laptop right next to the falls was one of the best days of my life!

What’s a perfect day look like to you?

One filled with music, friends and outdoor time. Seeing the Yosemite waterfalls with my best friend while making music on my laptop right next to the falls was one of the best days of my life!

With spring and summer on the horizon is there anything you’re hoping to get out of the next few months?

Mostly singles and a few dream collabs being fulfilled :)

Any final words for fans?

You’re support is my drive to continue pushing to my fullest capability! I’m lucky to have such loyal and inspiring fans that can see me from my vulnerable artist state and understand me to an extent. It’s a beautiful sight honestly. As I said earlier, expect nothing but progression from me in the future.

The post Guest Mix + Interview – cozy kev appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

Today, cozy kev looks to take a firm grasp on the beat-making scene with the full release of the collaborative album, Complacency. Aside from ‘interlude,’ which is a beautiful blend of light-hearted drum and bass and future beats, every piece in the 12-track ensemble is a collaboration, ranging in energy but never lacking in quality. About the album, cozy kev states “Throughout the last few years, the lingering feeling of complacency itself has consumed a large part of my spirit and attitude. This album and it’s process is about breaking out of that mental block and celebrating myself and my accomplishments.”

Simply put, Complacency is diverse while seamlessly flowing and carrying a consistent sonic direction. Despite tapping thirteen different collaborators, cozy kev manages to create a cohesive body of work that further attests to the artist’s undeniable mastery of sound. If you’ve only got thirty minutes to listen to music today, do yourself a favour and listen to Complacency from start to finish.

cozy kev continues to take his audience into his own world with addicting grooves and delicate melodies. He knows how to entice the listener into a state of calmness and love. Making them want more. We highly suggest checking out his past work.

chromonicci is another gem. His art consists of lush arrangements, bouncy drums and intoxicating rhythms. Every track he puts out has a special character and vibe to it. Releasing on labels Phuture Collective, Quality Goods Records and more inspired him to tell memorable stories within his work. He’s made quite a name for himself within the underground electronic scene.

‘complacency’ is an emotional lullaby. Full of wonders and discovery. Each second takes you next to the stars. Shining bright from their melodies and drum choices. Clearly hearing the organic blend of both musicians. The lush future bass chords combining with their impactful percussion puts a huge smile on the listener’s face. Making them feel inspired and one with their creativity. Not to mention the hypnotizing rhythm and smooth transitions. There’s a surprise lurking every corner. Never a dull moment.

It’s a journey any music lover should experience. Make sure to go support the artists by streaming their new single. You won’t regret it.

The post cozy kev And chromonicci Take To The Stars With ‘complacency’ appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

“We did our first event in June 2018 and since that day we never stop trying to help producers, to highlight them through our interviews, releases, and all our different concepts as weekly fav’s, Outsiders Select, and more. Our main goal is still to develop these producers/composers and this music style in France, but we also focus on your talent and your music no matter where you from, no matter your number of followers and no matter if you are a new artist or not. Every artist deserves to be heard,” Maryam tells us about their evolution. Their outlook and vision mirrors what we do at FUXWITHIT so it was only natural that when they mentioned they’d be unleashing a compilation that we wanted to partner and premiere it.

The 14 track STANDOUT compilation truly lives up to its name, perfectly showcasing the next wave of breakout producers. Maryam provides us with insight into the project’s reason for existing,“We wanted to create an album with all of our favorite Outsiders’ artists and to give them the possibility to show to the world what really define them artistically. All the artists you can find in this compilation are artists that we listen to, artists who surprise us, fascinate us, and who represent what an outsider is. We needed to make this project to show that you’re never too weird or too misunderstood, your music will always touch someone, so express yourself and be yourself.”

The execution on the project is nothing short of stellar. It’s a diverse release that feels cohesive and thematic; a feat that’s not easily achieved with compilation albums. It’s a true testament to the curation behind OUTSIDERS PARIS and the incredible artists involved. This deserves to be played from front to back to truly appreciate the quality. If you’re looking for a few quick standouts, don’t worry we’ve got you. Madj’s ‘Stronger’ is dark, menacing and deep while remaining enchanting. Enfnt exhibits levels of bounce typically reserved for trampolines on ‘Phases’. Never one to disappoint, capshun brings us into the ‘Shadows’ with a future trap slapper that’s visceral but bumping. French beat wizards tices & AP11 link up for the exotic ‘Tarsi,’ while Cozy Kev delivers a torrent of feels on the drippy ‘ISO.’ You’ll be hard pressed to find a song on here that doesn’t impress.

OUTSIDERS PARIS slogan is “stand out, we are the future,” and after listening to this it’s clear they’re living up to it.
