Throughout the years, both of these powerhouses have touched the underground with pure grace and perseverance. Incorporating different instruments, melodies, and more has always been their star-striking signature. Not to mention how cinematic they always treat their works. A once in a lifetime journey with each release. And with this next step for both of their visions, they’re bringing in even more special characteristics to the scene!

‘BLUFF’ is a bounce-filled paradise. Filled with impressive storytelling, tone creations, and much more. A brilliant way to take their talents to the next level. What’s so incredible is how there’s so much going on but it all works so smoothly and creates a memorable trip for all. Both artists must have had a lot of fun making this. Each section contains something brand new but at the same time, drives the piece even further into the unknown. Bringing back familiar characteristics and expanding on a much larger scale.

Any future beat addict will become completely mesmerized through each play and every second. Creating a complete frenzy and making you feel emotions you’ll want to remain with you forever. Another instant classic from these icons. We’re truly excited to hear what’s next for them. But for now, make sure to go support them by streaming ‘BLUFF.’

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

I’m taking the listeners on a thrilling and exciting journey through my musical endeavors within 2020 and 2021. This is the proudest that I’ve been with my craft throughout my entire music career!

How did you get into making music?

I’ve always been sort of musically inclined for the most part, and would always be listening to instrumentals and beats and one day it just hit me like, “Why not make these yourself!”

At the end of the day, I want to look back and be able to say that my music had an impact on someone’s life, rather it motivated them to rise to new levels or gave them a place to kind of connect and relate to.

What’s your goal as a creator?

At the end of the day, I want to look back and be able to say that my music had an impact on someone’s life, rather it motivated them to rise to new levels or gave them a place to kind of connect and relate to.

What’s the secret to bringing the bounce on tracks?

To be honest man, it’s all about not having everything quantized. I cannot stress it enough how important offsetting your drums is and how big of an impact it will have on your tracks and mix.

I used to get picked on for my networking 3 or 4 years ago, but now look at the foundation that was built from it. Working with the goat chromonicci is a prime example of this mentality finally paying off for me!

You’ve collaborated with a long list of impressive artists from chromonicci to Roto, aedfx x Keeth and more. How did you connect with all of these artists?

I came up with a few of the artists I work with like Keeth many years back. I’ve always been big on manifesting things and aiming high for my goals, no matter how impossible or unrealistic they may look. And I used to get picked on for my networking 3 or 4 years ago, but now look at the foundation that was built from it. Working with the goat chromonicci is a prime example of this mentality finally paying off for me!

How important is community in the music industry? What can artists do to better build or join the community?

The community is everything to be honest, it can make or break you. When you surround yourself with people that are going to better you consciously and unconsciously, and y’all can motivate each other to constantly level up, it just makes everything that much better.

The community is everything to be honest, it can make or break you.

What excites you outside of music?

Gaming, traveling the world, and spending time with my family are my go-to hobbies outside of music.

What do you have planned for the rest of the year?

A lot of crazy collabs, hopefully linking with some of the music homies at some point down the road, and overall I’m just excited to see what God has in store for me this year and the coming years!

Any final words?

Never let ANYONE discourage you from achieving your dreams/goals. If you have a plan, execute it, work as hard as you can towards it, and just trust the process. I never would’ve thought in a million years that I’d be where I am right now musically, and I still have a very long ways to go! :)

The post knick. Keeps The Energy Ingrained With ‘rust’ appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

‘ghost’ has everything you love within the trap genre. Impactful 808’s, whimsical arrangement and heavy drums. You name it! Incorporating so many elements and ear candy within the time limit is highly impressive. Each section is different yet familiar. One after another, you’ll be going back to hear each section again to see if you missed something. The first drop they throw upon us has a video game feel. It’s as if you were transported into your favorite old-school video game. You’ll be enjoying the nostalgia, when all of a sudden, they open it back up with enormous amounts of character and life. Building up the anticipation higher than ever before. Resulting in traveling to the second drop. What separates this one is the sheer amount of spice and attitude they all gave out through energetic melody. Spreading nothing but lush filled goodness to the ears and heart. Ending with a breathtaking piano to calm the storm back down to its original form. Shedding sprinkles of gold from above to heal the troubles.

Make sure to go support these talented musicians by streaming ‘ghost’ on SoundCloud.

Cerdin

First setting off my radar in late September, killer Calgarian producer Cerdin kicked the door down with the ferocity of ‘FRACTURE.’ Its undeniable intensity and ominous energy give it the feeling of a high-stakes shootout. Almost unhinged in its radioactive rollout, Cerdin doesn’t let the track stagnate; instead, he fires off a flurry of effects while sending ‘FRACTURE’ flying off in all directions. More recently, we’ve seen an explosion of releases as he tackled the likes of A.G. Cook, Baauer, and Clipping in his second remix package. While distinct in their styles, each one of these free offerings slaps. Whether hyperactive like ‘Show Me What,’ a wall of sound like ‘AETHER,’ or slow and sadistic like ‘96 Neve Campbell,’ Cerdin crafts the perfect punch for each track. Now, for my money, Cerdin’s hardest hitters come in ‘Lemonade,’ ‘3030!‘ and ‘OLD SCHOOL.’ Hop on his hardcore bandwagon and brace yourself for a bumpy ride!

Drvmmer

Now that I think about it, it’s almost a year since I met Andrea aka Drvmmer for the first time. If I’m not wrong, it was during the only gig I attended in 2020 alongside Patrick, msft., Voliik, Marlus, GAZZ, Degra and many others. Ah, the nostalgia. Anyway, I waited so long to give him a spotlight not because I wanted to spite him but because I preferred to follow a rational approach. You see, sometimes here on Focus Five I like to follow my instincts and make bets, but I know that I’m not flawless. For this first episode of the year instead, I wanted to give you a guarantee and now I can assure you that waging on this artist is not a risky business. Drvmmer is an assurance.  It’s not subject to volatility and inflation. His production level leaves no doubt, it is first class. Even though he usually creates highly complex sonic textures, the outcome is always absurdly clean. It doesn’t matter how many genres it changes within a single song or how much the sound pressure is: the outcome will always be a treat for your ears. Dubstep, electronica, drum&bass his SoundCloud profile says loud and clear “fuck genres”. Want concrete proof? Just listen to his latest remix of Jack U’s classic ‘Mind’ and thank me later. From what I know, he’s sitting on an insane amount of music and, even if he’s going to release just a small share of it, I’m sure you’ll see him again on the pages of FUXWITHIT in 2021.

Knick

It may be a new year but I’m keeping my streak of championing future beats alive in 2021. One of the latest producers to catch my ear within the space is North Carolina’s Knick. It was Knick’s collaboration ‘distantworlds’ off of cozy kev’s complacency that first caught my attention. The track is a majestic work of art – heavenly, vibey and packing just the right amount of bump. A dive into Knick’s SoundCloud shows this is no fluke. He just dropped a next-level collab with $teev, koru & ohgoddc entitled ‘elevate’. Living up to its name, the song will take you to a higher plane of existence. It will allow you to feel lighter, unburdened, and lost in the bounce. While the collabs are amazing, Knick can definitely stand alone on his own. ‘circumvent’ is absolutely stunning while ‘aluminum’ shows off a more relentless approach. For the future beats fanatics such myself, Knick is undeniably one to watch.

spüke

The last year has been everything but easy for everyone. Given the challenges, we could all use a little uplifting. Enter: spüke. The California producer is crafting energizing and futuristic house tunes to give listeners new life. ‘Emanate’ which was released on Bonsai’s Hayashi compilation was a staple in my summer rotation. Moving vocals, wildly bouncy drops, and a playful candor made it a certified warm weather bop. Keeping the heat up came the gripping and emotive ‘tell me’ which carries a truly uplifting energy. Risking it all with a remix of a classic, spüke delivered with an addictive flip of Flux Pavillion’s ‘I Can’t Stop.’ Taking on a iconic anthem is no easy feat but the talented producer delivered in full. If you’re looking for a fresh spin on house check out spüke.

Trinist

Unfortunately, I can’t take the credit for this one, but I feel like this month’s list would be incomplete without the inclusion of Trinist. Landing on my radar just a couple of weeks ago thanks to his pristine release on Powered by Inspected: Series 2, I knew I had to jump aboard the Trinist train before the bandwagon left the station. With less than 400 SoundCloud followers at the time of writing, the Netherlands-based producer has shown immense promise with his latest releases on Inspected, VALE, and Andy C’s RAM Records. The former, which was my introduction to this talented artist, is a mind-melting drum and bass cut that’s abrasive yet bouncy, and chaotic yet controlled. A deeper dive into Trinist’s brief arsenal shows more of this meticulous attention to detail, with carefully crafted sounds and mechanical percussion precision being a recurring theme in his latest tracks. I’m keeping a close eye on Trinist, you should too.

‘Vermillion’ is a fresh and heavy group of sounds and vibes. From the beginning with an orchestral feel to hook the listener in, to the stunning chorus consisting of impactful drums and colorful elements to compliment their styles as one.

Making it have an intoxicating after effect. Nothing but clean and forward thinking production to say the least.
