Simply put, every single track contained within BRAVE is quintessential JOYRYDE, yet they are all unique in their own right. A display of sonic mastery across a wide arrange of genres, each track will flicker a “this is definitely JOYRYDE” voice in your head, but despite this, the album remains captivating and fresh throughout. A wide array of influences can be heard in the British producer’s sound, from glimpses of bassline and UK garage to more vocal-driven rap and grime pieces intertwined in the mix.

The tracks that were previously released such as ‘IM GONE‘ and ‘YUCK‘ are just the tip of the iceberg that is BRAVE, and while doing every single piece justice would ruin the surprise for all reading this article, there are a handful of soon-to-be classics that are worth highlighting. Following the eerily realistic ‘PRE OP’ introduction comes ‘ON FIRE,’ a statement piece kicking off BRAVE in high gear. Lighthearted notes give the track a summery feel, but the bass house heater immediately displays JOYRYDE’s ingenious ability to fill his tracks with complex sounds. ‘FAIL ME’ follows along the same lines, carrying an innate house groove throughout and demonstrating the unmatched sound design and attention to detail that the legendary producer boasts. From the percussion, to the sounds, to the vocal chops and everything in between, ‘FAIL ME’ is signature JOYRYDE. Furthermore, ‘ARTERIES’ alongside Youngs Teflon showcases JOYRYDE’s wicked pairing of production and vocals in a grime-leaning piece. A true homage to the artist’s roots, the track has the potential to become a radio hit in his home nation due to the raw intensity of the instrumentals and the natural flow from the English vocalist.

Finally, a personal favourite and arguably BRAVE‘s most standout track comes in the form of ‘4AM.’ First premiered in part during his Beyond Wonderland Virtual Rave-A-Thon, ‘4AM’ kicks off with a widely popular sample from ‘Darkest Light‘ and never gives in energy after the initial horns. ‘4AM’ features all of the sounds fans have grown to love from JOYRYDE, but their arrangement is second to none. It’s a bass house jam that is unprecedented in meticulousness and intricacy. The first half will have you shuffling out of your shoes, annoying your downstairs neighbours until all hours of the night. The true masterpiece of the track hits in the second half, though. The flow is never cut, yet the liveliness and the vigour is amplified to new heights, with a plethora of frequencies pummelling your speakers without ever sounding disjoint. ‘4AM’ is JOYRYDE at his finest, and one of the many reasons why he is considered a legend.

BRAVE is meant for listening in order from start to finish, as the narrative is unparalleled and seamless. This is album of the year material. Dive in below.

If ‘IM GONE’ was the intense car chase after a bank robbery and eventually getting to freedom, ‘YUCK’ is the introspective contemplation of what to do with the monstrous stacks of money. Teaming up with budding Chicago-based rapper GOLD, JOYRYDE creates a sinister soundscape that highlights the vocalist’s powerful lyrics, before catapulting the track into trap insanity. Through his distinct blaring sirens, revving engine effects and crisp gun shots, JOYRYDE keeps his signature alive but again manages to intertwine old sounds with new beats. The second drop is even more eclectic than the first, as the versatile producer plays with jungle-inspired percussion that is sure to send any crowd into a frenzy.

‘YUCK’ is capped off with a minute-long contemplative speech that appears to lead to a climax before JOYRYDE cuts the sound abruptly, which can only mean that the next track from BRAVE will only be crazier. Until then, enjoy ‘YUCK’ below.

Written during his battle with drugs, the LA-based artist states his mind was elsewhere in those months, and that ‘IM GONE’ simply isn’t normal. His description could not be more spot on. A distorted vocal kicks things off, before JOYRYDE’s signature bass house percussion takes the lead. Through anonymous but punchy vocals, JOYRYDE builds the energy as the introduction progresses, creating an air of gripping tension. His distinct sirens and horns bring the track to a crescendo of anxiety, just as rippling gunshots bring about bass insanity. Orchestral leads and squeaky clean plucks shine at the forefront to construct a chaotic yet elegant section. The bass house madness is followed by a classical piano bridge as JOYRYDE meshes bass with sophisticated instrumentals in a truly unparalleled manner. ‘IM GONE’ is a wild trip into the creative genius’ mind, where elements of trap, house and classical music come together to form one cohesive masterpiece. Don’t miss it below.

The familiar melody leads off the track, with JOYRYDE’s signature drift-inspired samples and heavy-hitting yoinks at the forefront. Wasting no time, the two legendary producers quickly bridge the gap into a bass house drop that is highly unconventional for the genre, as a plethora of quirky yet impeccably timed drum loops take the spotlight. A switch-up brings listeners into more percussion filled madness that airs more on the trap side. And, if you thought the first part of ‘AGEN WIDA’ was wicked, the second half of the track is even wilder than the first. JOYRYDE and Skrillex take the bass house insanity to another level without disrupting the flow, perfectly complimenting the first half of the song.

JOYRYDE’s bass house influence and Skrillex’s flawless production easily make ‘AGEN WIDA’ a contender for track of the year. If this doesn’t have you hyped for JOYRYDE’s BRAVE album out on November 30th, I don’t know what does. Check it out below!

Maddmon was on the decks first with his G House style, shrouded in the shadows of the lights he provided a groovy and soft bouncy atmosphere to get the party started. Attendees took little time to start dancing and getting comfortable for what was to come.

Up next, the dapper Toronto duo KRFW (wild guess that stands for curfew) brought that dark and deep house to the party. To set the atmosphere they came out in the darkness of the room illuminated by the blood red LED’s in their masks. The crowd surely enjoyed the aesthetics and atmosphere as they cheered loudly, ready to take the party to the next level.

Look, it’s a Pixelwhip! This was my first time seeing something like this in all my years, I didn’t even know these thing existed. It was pretty dope and different from your typical glow stick or LED glove. Here is a website I quickly Googled that sells them.

The man of the night JOYRYDE was up next. The crowd grew louder in excitement because we all knew what was coming, the party was about to go to 100 and that was exactly what happened. JOYRYDE dropped his bass heavy sound on the house and the crowd reacted in kind, with attendees cheering, jumping, moshing and head banging like no one was watching, it was a blast to say the least. He played not only his own tracks, but threw in some bangers such as Desiigner’s ‘Panda’ and Drake’s ‘Back to Back’ which the crowd responded to with some karaoke. JOYRYDE’s high energy on stage was infectious as it carried the crowd through the night without skipping a beat. Time seemed to cease to exist and when least expected, it was over. It was one heck of a party and I am proud to say that I was able to attend one of The Hoxton’s final parties. It pains me to know the end is near, but there will always be the great memories at 69 Bathurst St. On to newer and better things!

Don’t miss out on the remaining closing parties, up next, Deorro & No Neon.
