Anyone who was around during the mid-2010s SoundCloud golden era will put the Lost Dogz crew on a pedestal. These pioneering mad lads have spent years crafting an iconic sound that may as well be its own genre at this point. EAZYBAKED, Untitld, Vide, and the rest of the crew have inspired an entire generation of underground producers to embrace the art of experimenting with whatever wickedly imaginative sound designs they can get their computer processors to handle. Oozing with hip-hop influence and raw dubstep oomph, a Lost Dogz track is positively unmistakable when you hear it.

With the founding members largely busy pursuing solo endeavors in recent years, we haven’t seen a full-fledged compilation from the group since the 2019 Off the Chain EP… until now. Enter VOL. 1, a compilation featuring eight of our favorite canine friends with their many years-honed production skills on full display. There’s a lot to be said about each of these tracks individually, but to make a long story short, this compilation comes across as an unabashed flex on the beatmaker scene. This is the kind of release that tells everyone else to “step it the fuck up.”

To celebrate the compilation’s release, we chatted with Milano to get an insight into the mind and creative process of one of the true Lost Dogz OGs (with some exclusive lore to boot). Check out what he had to share with us below.

What was your first experience with electronic/dance music (as a listener, not a producer)?

One of my best friends showed me a Flosstradamus song in his new jeep at the skatepark. I’d never heard anything like that before and I kinda got hooked. My first electronic show was actually Pretty Lights though, in like 2012.

Likewise, what was your inspiration for becoming a producer? Any artists in particular that really drew you in?

Once I experienced it live, the way the speakers rattled your body honestly blew my mind. I became obsessed with weird noises. I saw artists like Flume, Herobust, Mr. Carmack, RL Grime, and was just inspired to try and create.

Do you play any live instruments?

0 live instruments for me. Just an obsessed kid with a computer!

How did you and Lost Dogz link up? When we interviewed Untitld, he mentioned that you had said “no” the first time he asked you to join, so what made you change your mind?

Hahahaha I saw the SoundCloud with a super clean banner. And it just looked fun. Had 0 tracks, 0 followers, and hit him back up and said “yoooo I’m actually down.”

I actually usually don’t go into a song with much of an idea ever.

Walk us through your creative process a bit. How do you go from turning an idea for a tune into reality?

I actually usually don’t go into a song with much of an idea ever. Unless it’s a remix. But I usually start by writing drums. Then going backwards and creating elements to go into those drums (an intro). As far as sound design I never really have a goal and kinda like to go off the rails with wavetable synths and resampling. Always ends up being a happy accident that sparks creativity.

A lot of artists are pivoting toward the use of AI in their workflow. What are your thoughts on the trend?

I think as long as we use AI as a Tool and don’t let it actually write or create the art. It can be useful. I’m a huge Kaelin Ellis fan and love the way he plays with AI in his videos!

Do you try to differentiate the sound of your festival sets vs. club sets? If so, how?

Not really. Festival sets might be a little “more planned” as far as a cool intro, VIP’s, etc.. but other than that I’m just always playing my music, my friends music, and music I think will get people weird.

What can fans expect from you over the course of the next year? Any new releases, special sets, streams, etc. in the works?

Just going to be writing as much music as possible and working with my manager to try and take this project to the next level.

Let’s say you’re only allowed to listen to one music genre for the rest of your life (non-electronic). What would you choose?

Probably Classical rock, or Rnb.

I’m a big fan of the album art for your self-released tracks. Do you make them yourself or do you commission someone to help?

I do make most of them! I’ve had a few friends and fans help me out a few times though.

What made this the right time for a new Lost Dogz compilation? Can you tell us a bit about your track on the album?

We haven’t dropped a Lost Dogz comp since we went on the “off the chain” tour back in 2019. We all just got busy with our own projects and growing up to be honest. But we’ve stayed in contact almost everyday for the last 6 years and thought it would be a perfect time to come back.

My track is called “gibs” and it’s actually one I was sitting on for a while. Very influenced by Daggz. I think it’s very simple and gets the point across that I love simple wet music lol.

We keep each other going and writing music and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

What’s been the biggest highlight of your music career?

Without a doubt meeting my Lost Dogz brothers. We keep each other going and writing music and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. As far as experiences, getting to perform at Shambhala was an absolute moment for me and always will be.

Tell us a fun fact about yourself that your fans might not already know. Anything at all!

I am obsessed with spicy foods and wanna create a hot sauce company one day.

The post Who Let the Dogz Out? appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

I’ve always admired the musical niche Untitld inhabits, whatever one chooses to call it. It’s not quite trap, not quite dubstep, but expressly somewhere in-between with its emphasis on swing-heavy percussion and raucously punching sub-bass. He is a shining example of just how creative and innovative sound design can be with the right talent behind it. It’s a true pleasure to have him featured for this guest mix, so let’s get into it!

We appreciate you hopping on this opportunity to release a guest mix with us! How’s life been for you lately?

Life’s been good! Had a lot happen that’s changed the day-to-day living a bit but other than that I can’t complain.

Is there a particular theme or vibe to this mix? What exactly are our listeners in for?

You can expect a lot of music from myself, my homies and artists I’m currently obsessed with. Been trying to mix multiple genres in my sets so hope you like it!

How long have you been producing music? What first got you hooked?

I’ve been producing music for about 10 years now? I’ve always been drawn to it, I played guitar for almost my whole life as well as some other instruments.

What got me hooked on electronic music though was wondering how the fuck they made sounds like that on a computer.

What inspired the name “Untitld?”

Origin story time. When you open a new project in Ableton, the default name is “untitled”. Take out the “e” and that’s where the inspiration came from.

Make whatever the fuck you want and have fun with it. Isn’t that the whole point of producing in the first place?

Your tunes have always exhibited such a heavy trap influence. What would you say to those who claim the genre is dead in 2024?

I don’t really think genres can die off? Sure people might not be listening or booking “trap” artists like they were in 2014 but who cares honestly.

Make whatever the fuck you want and have fun with it. Isn’t that the whole point of producing in the first place?

Maybe it’s just me not paying enough attention, but it seems like you don’t release music as frequently now as you did, say, five years ago. Is there a particular reason you stepped back a bit?

I’ve definitely taken a step back from releasing as much music as I used to. Didn’t feel like what I was putting out was a good representation of what I wanted the whole “Untitld” project to be.

Took some time to figure out but we are so fucking back baby. Expect a whole lot of new music from ya boy soon.

How did you get involved with the Lost Dogz crew?

Time for some Lost Dogz lore. It all started when a 14-year-old Abelation messaged me saying we should start a group with all the homies.

Can’t remember the original name he suggested but I remember I didn’t fuck with it. Started hitting up homies via SoundCloud messages (Milano said no the first time I asked him to join) and slowly got the group together.

We still needed a name though, so the next day I’m driving and looked up at this billboard that said, “Found a lost dog? Call our number”. Messaged the homies saying I had our name and the rest is history.

Did you have a New Year’s resolution for 2024? Any personal or music-oriented goals you’re trying to reach this year?

My New Year’s resolution was to get my finances up and my mental health locked in. Still working on both those though!

Outside of producing, what are your favorite ways to spend your free time?

I love playing video games, reading, and watching documentaries! I actually just watched Game of Thrones for the first time and just bought the books to read.

Who are some lesser-known artists that are absolutely blowing you away at the moment, electronic or otherwise?

Not sure if he’s considered lesser known but MPH is fucking insane. Love everything that he puts out. More in the realm of bass music I gotta go with Snuffy and asáu, both these kids are cracked.

Do you have an end goal for Untitld as an artistic project, or are you just taking it day-by-day and seeing where the winds blow? To follow-up, where you do you see yourself five years from now?

No end goal really. I just like making music. 5 years from now I hope I’m happy and traveling the world!

Is music your only artistic passion or are there others?

Music is definitely my one true passion. I’ve tried drawing and other art forms but they’ve never clicked for me.

Do you have any words of wisdom for your fellow music-makers out there?

Only thing I have to say is remember the whole reason you started making music in the first place! Enjoy yourself and don’t force the funk.

Fun fact time! Tell us something that our readers most certainly don’t know about you.

I was an extra in the “Straight Out of Compton” movie. I also have the flattest fucking feet ever.

Any other final thoughts you’d like to share?

Love you all and if you got this far thanks for taking the time to read about me! Can’t wait to share more music and memories with you all!

Tracklist:

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

The first track, ‘Suplex,’ wastes no time establishing the vibe of the EP. It is a veritable speaker-flexer for the entirety of its three-minute run and demands a subwoofer to be heard to the fullest extent. The harpsichord-like synths are reminiscent of the early days of trap music while the basslines fit neatly within the more recent catalogue of tracks from both artists.

Up next, ‘Chokehold’ takes the ears for a spin with an immediate switch-up into house basslines and a bounce that’s difficult to hear and remain sitting still. Between the house breaks, the duo experiment with some truly wonky synths and tease the listener with orchestral-sounding chords that seem to fit right in alongside the lower frequencies.

Finally, ‘Money’ allows the listener a brief respite during its intro until it begins roaring through the speakers on the first drop. Decidedly different from ‘Suplex’ but still retaining the characteristic Lost Dogz sound with its heavy bass, this track is sure to get a dance floor moving and grooving.

Untitld and Snuggles truly put the game in a Chokehold with their latest EP while reminding everyone of the power Lost Dogz possesses. We look forward to hearing what this power duo is cooking up next. Stream the Chokehold EP below.

Written by Braden.

A lyricless jam that is equally perplexing as it is mesmerizing, ‘Develop’ depicts a journey of evolution and growth, perhaps mirroring Player Dave’s recent experiences. What begins as a halftime heater highlighted by grungy synths and a wicked flow takes a one-eighty degree turn around the halfway mark, as Player Dave flips the track into a punchy trap-leaning slapper. Any unsuspecting listener is sure to become short of breathe as each kick hits like a strike to the chest, before the two influences are merged together as ‘Develop’ comes to a close.

For an extra kick, don’t forget to read the track’s description. Don’t miss ‘Develop’ below.

I’ve played bad shows with people I’m not friends with and it’s just not the same as playing bad shows with people you love – sumthin sumthin

The Off The Chain Tour has been going on for the past month and a half for you guys! How has it been so far? 

Eric – It’s been good! We’re all doing what we love to do together and that’s ultimately the main thing. We’ve had great shows and we’ve had rough shows, it’s been an up and down ride, but overall it’s been really good. 

Conrad – But even the bad shows equate to so much happiness that it really doesn’t even matter. I’ve played bad shows with people I’m not friends with and it’s just not the same as playing bad shows with people you love, you know what I mean? It just makes it that much better because we just laugh about it and we move on. Usually when you’re by yourself like as a major headliner it like hurts your soul. 

Eric – But when you’re with your friends it’s like ehh whatever, you just shrug it off and kill the next one, getting to hangout with your favorite people in the world in the meantime. We’re all brothers so we support each other as much as we possibly can.

Bryce – Everything’s been really great so far! I’m honestly honored to be on tour with kids I met on SoundCloud, it’s a pretty surreal feeling. 

You guys did a few festival takeovers this past summer, can you compare those sets and takeovers to the tour?

Bryce – Festivals are a totally different experience.

Eric – Even if we are touring together right now, I’d still have to say festivals take the cake. It’s just an entirely different vibe. At a fest compared to playing a club show for example I feel like the overall vibe is more likely to be on point. Most of the time the sound systems outside sound a lot better for what we’re doing in regards to the low end shit. 

Bryce – But comparatively there’s really no way to equate fests and shows, festivals are just a whole other spectrum. 

Andrew – Festivals are a much better showcase of individual talent because on tour it’s kind of a bombardment of 4-6 hours straight of Lost Dogz.

Conrad – And sometimes we’ll all be booked on something similar festival-wise and it’s just not the same because we’re all trying to prove ourselves as individuals at fests and try to reach new crowds in our own audience. Whereas this tour is a way for us to Lost Dogz as a whole versus just like individuality. 

Eric – Hopefully in the next 2 years we can incorporate the rest of the Lost Dogz members that weren’t on this tour onto one so we can fully represent us a whole. 

It takes a toll for sure, but it’s honestly balanced out by all the fun we have with each other, so at the end of the day all the struggles are completely worth it. – Eazybaked

Tell me about the difficulties of touring, both from a physical and mental standpoint. 

Andrew – Sleep is a big thing for both because obviously physically it isn’t helpful but after awhile it also drains you mentally. Lack of sleep is always a factor in what we do. Physical and mental health are both things that you have to be taking care of proactively instead of reactively. It takes a toll for sure, but it’s honestly balanced out by all the fun we have with each other, so at the end of the day all the struggles are completely worth it. 

Bryce – Food, I can’t buy groceries for my fridge and store them because I’m in one state, one city a night and then another the next so most meals have to be out and that adds up quickly. I’m mostly eating like garbage *laughs* and it shows. 

Conrad – You eat three $20 meals a day or one $10 meal and that really fucks with your overall health a lot especially when you’re drinking a bunch at night. So it’s really wise to figure out a budget for yourself from day to day on tour and you’ve got to tell yourself “ok I can’t exceed this $20-$40-$60 limit” depending on how well you’re being paid at the moment. You’ve got to be fed, you’ve got to be well-rested, and that’s a lot of our conversations right now. We went and got Thai food early today and we were collectively like “this is how we should be eating on tour” as opposed to some fried chicken or burgers. Take the extra step to actually find shit that will make you feel good versus what is just convenient in the moment. I feel like in regards to this group we have something really special, because we know how much we drink, how much we party, and we’re one of the few groups that really focused on individual well-being. You know what I mean. One of our best friends is in rehab right now, and we’re all here to back him because we saw a downfall in someone and we’re here to pick him back up. 

Bryce – It can definitely be hard though because most of us are starving artists 

Eric – Most things are all over the place, so it’s hard to really nail down a meal schedule and stick to a certain diet. We have late nights and early flights so your stomach can be off if you’re trying to catch a quick bite at the airport. But overall on tour we really help each other and look out for one another. We keep each other in line to the best of our ability and I feel like we all do a good job of that. 

There’s two routes in the electronic music scene; the fast route which is where you mimic an already popular sound as best you can, or there’s the long, hard journey which is be yourself and have slow growth. – sumthin sumthin

Talk to me about Lost Dogz! You guys have shown tremendous growth in the past year, has it been what you were expecting? What do you believe has been the biggest factor contributing to that?

Andrew – Authenticity and originality. Authenticity in the sense that we’re all just out here trying to be uniquely ourselves and just represent who we are both as artists and as people. 

Conrad – Every single one of us has our own sound, and a lot of people are out there really just saturating. We’re just trying to be the biggest, best version of ourselves and collective growth being our driving force. As long as everyone is on their own page of “I’m just trying to be myself and no one else,” then we’re representing our true intentions. There’s two routes in the electronic music scene; the fast route which is where you mimic an already popular sound as best you can, or there’s the long, hard journey which is be yourself and have slow growth. 

Bryce – The special thing is that we’ve all believed in each other and our individual sounds since the beginning. We didn’t meet because we were friends in real life, we met because we each really fucked with each others’ music and felt like we could really make something great coming together. 

Eric – My best friends are literally my favorite producers and artists and it’s honestly the shit. It’s an absolutely incredible feeling. When we play a track it’s because we individually believe in that artist and that track, so we have this deep connection to everything we play and I feel like that’s a perfect example of our authenticity. Our main goal has always been just to make dope beats together, and as long as we continue to do that we’re on the right path. 

Conrad – In our sets it’s just us and our very close friends, we don’t play any tracks outside our circle that we don’t have any relation to. 

Tell me about the impact social media, and specifically your fan groups, have had not only on your presence and fan interaction from a business/performance persona standpoint, but also as regular people? 

Bryce – Mind-blowing.

Eric – It’s been crazy to see the support we’ve gotten honestly. Sometimes it even feels like an actual cult following that we’ve all brought together. These people are ride-or-die and it’s crazy to think that it’s all because of what we’re doing and the movement we’re pushing. 

Conrad – In my opinion, social media isn’t our biggest impact in regards to fan engagement because, if you notice, a lot of us go to the after parties, we’re in the crowd after our sets while other people are playing, and frankly, most of our networking is just being friends with people. So, social media is cool, but that’s not why people show up to our shows. We’re not the best at social media, we’re not posting everyday, but it’s mostly about the groundwork. We do a lot of guerrilla marketing, if you will, and it’s not that we’re even conscious of it, it’s just what happens because we love the scene and the people that show up to our shows so much. I think Eazybaked is a great example of this because Eric will go out and just fucking rage with people and that creates this energy that people are attracted to because they’re like “oh my god, you’re human!?” which is such a weird thing because we each individually know we’re human, but you’ve got to show that humanity to everyone you come in contact with. I think each member of Lost Dogz does this so well and I believe that really feeds greatly into our collective success. 

Bryce – And that’s why the whole thing is so mind blowing too because we’re all just normal kids that met on SoundCloud and still doing what we started doing, which is just making music. So when people come up to us and “praise” us it’s like “whoa.” 

Eric – It’s hard to react to at that point honestly. 

Bryce – I mean most of us still live with our parents hahaha, so to be placed on a pedestal is a strange feeling. It’s an absolute honor to have the support we do though, and something I won’t take for granted. From a business standpoint it’s working really well, but from a human perspective it’s shocking. 

Eric – It’s touching, it’s humbling, it’s an incredible feeling. 

Milano, the last time I interviewed you it was for your Shambhala mix! Can you talk a little about your experience at the festival?

Bryce – Shambhala is hands-down the best festival I’ve ever been to. They thoroughly care about their artists and how well the actual act is projected, you know what I mean. Other festivals are like “ok well we’ve got this side stage and we’re going to put less budget and less care into this because we have our bigger artists.” But at Shambhala, each stage is almost like its own festival, and Shambhala as a whole motivated me to keep this going. Hands down the most insane thing I’ve ever been a part of. 

The last time we spoke you mentioned you had an EP on the way, would you like to talk a little about that?

Bryce – So with the EP I have 1 finished song and it’s the title track ‘Dark Energy’. Being on tour for a majority of the year hasn’t helped me finish much music to be honest. I’m so inspired to write new music, but being home for only one day at a home when I just want to sleep and eat food makes it extremely difficult to make any headway. I have another track I’m about to finish though, so there is progress being made and I’m itching to get back at it, but I’m definitely not going to rush anything. 

Going off of that, how do you find a happy balance between the push to release content, while still making sure that it’s at a quality level that you deem fit? At what point do you consider a track fully completed?

Bryce – For me, a track will be finished and I won’t release it for about 2 months. The thing is, I’ll eventually get to the point where I’m like “is this good enough?” because I’ve heard it played so many times , so as an artist we have to remind ourselves that when we originally made that track we liked it and knew it was up to our standards. You can almost question yourself at times, so it’s nice to have that concrete reassurance. I have a hard time finishing music, but that’s what makes me, me. I’m not worried about quantity over quality at all. I look up to artists that can just crank out 30 tunes at a time and I’m just sitting over here with maybe 2, but if it was any other way it wouldn’t be a genuine representation of myself. 

Eric – We’re very similar as well. Being on the road so much makes it very difficult to really hone in on an idea and flesh it out. Thankfully we’re taking off all of December and January, so we can really sit and marinate on tracks. Hopping in the studio, working a little bit, and then hopping back out is just not how we do things. We have to listen to a track over and over, really picking it apart. 

Andrew – It’s definitely a quality over quantity approach at the end of the day, focusing on making sure everything we release is of the utmost quality that we can possibly achieve. Rather than the approach of, “how many releases can we pump out this month and then this month” constantly making deadlines to meet and detracting from creativity. There’s a middle ground to be met for sure, before you don’t want to wait so long that people lose interest, but you also don’t want to force anything and make it anything but authentic. 

Eric – We just really want to make sure we’re pushing the envelope each and every time and not just putting something out to stay relevant. 

Eazybaked, we haven’t had the opportunity to interview you guys before, so can you tell us how you guys got connected?

Andrew – We’ve been good friends since 3rd grade.

Eric – Yep since the 3rd grade, we’ve always been close and we started making beats together in the summer of our junior year of high school. Neither of us really had a musical background, but we were bumping Mr. Carmack and Flume and all the underground stuff. Those tracks all just really struck a chord with us.

What got you both into electronic music in the first place?

Andrew – I think it’s a little bit different for the both of us honestly. For me, it started with ripping songs off of LimeWire, and digging online originally for hip-hop. I think it definitely stemmed from hip-hop for both of us, that’s why our styles have naturally melded so well together. 

Eric – For me it was really branching off of hip-hop and finding artists like Mr. Carmack and the others I mentioned through the internet and then just branching out my tastes from there. I’ve always been drawn to sounds that were unlike anything I’d heard before, I’ve always liked artists doing something different. Then we started going to shows, I had a fake ID and all that *laughs*, that pushed me into it even further. I started thinking “damn, we could really do this,” then we started fucking around working at it, and now here we are. 

I feel like people make the scene into a competition in a lot of cases and I feel like it should be one big happy fucking community where everyone is free to contribute what they contribute. Making things a competition over genuine collaboration breeds egotistical bullshit. – Eazybaked

Tell me one thing that you love about the current state of the industry that you hope will grow, and one thing you currently dislike about the industry that you hope will peter out. 

Eric – One thing I wish would end would definitely be people comparing one another. I feel like people make the scene into a competition in a lot of cases and I feel like it should be one big happy fucking community where everyone is free to contribute what they contribute. Making things a competition over genuine collaboration breeds egotistical bullshit. I feel like all of our intentions are in line with what we’re trying to promote, and in other areas of the scene it’s over-saturated with people doing it for the wrong reasons. 

Bryce – There’s a lot of people that do it to be the next “someone,” instead of just trying to be themselves. 

Andrew – It really goes back to our idea of authenticity as well. 

Conrad – We never stand on the DJ table, we never yell “1, 2, ready JUMP,” we never do the stereotypical EDM shit. Not like we would want to do those things regardless, but they’re just examples of gimmicks that we don’t feel we need to do in order to be successful. 

Eazybaked, you guys recently had the opportunity to play at Wakaan Music Festival in Arkansas, can you tell me about your experience there?

Eric – It was incredible! We played a 2am set which was the first late-night set time, and it was crazy to see people literally bum-rushing the stage, sprinting down this hill trying to get a good spot just for our set. People out there were literally mouthing our tracks out-loud which was totally surreal. Wakaan definitely did a lot for us, that was one of the biggest festivals we’ve played. 

What artists do you guys listen to in your free time, Both EDM and non-EDM?

Eric – A plethora of things really! Edm definitely Tsuruda and Carmack, non-EDM lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Bon Iver.

Bryce – I love the Black Keys, and I’ve been listening to a lot of Animal Collective lately. I really like Modest Mouse too. 

Eric – Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of chill shit, even some classical too. CJ put me on some dope airport heaters.

Conrad – I don’t listen to anything outside of real music in my free time. We do enough bass music weekend to weekend where I get inspired by bands that aren’t doing what we’re doing. One of my biggest inspirations is Coldplay, out of like everyone. Just based off the vibe they’re able to portray just in a single song like ‘Fix You’ for example. That song’s made millions of people cry their eyes out just by itself. So if I can find any sliver of life like that and put it into my own music, that would be awesome. I’d love to be able to make a bunch of people feel what I feel. So on a day-to-day basis, I almost never listen to bass music. It can almost drive you crazy if you constantly surround yourself with it. 

Bryce – Especially if you’re someone that makes it. We listen back to our own songs so many times that we almost get sick of them, so listening to any other form of music that’s similar to ourselves feels almost monotonous. 

Andrew – I’ve actually been listening to a ton of Weezer lately and it’s been great.

I’m with new management, they’re doing a ton of really dope shit, we’re all doing sick individual things. Next year we’re going to take some time from doing something along these lines so we can create another web and keep spreading this shit through whatever we can. – sumthin sumthin

Where do you see yourselves individually, and Lost Dogz as a whole, this time next year?

Conrad – I see us taking a year off and kind of developing each other as much as we can. I mean it’s not going to be a Lost Dogz 2.0 tour next year. This was just a cool proving ground and test to see what we can do, and I think the general consensus is to work on yourself individually and then build on that with each other. I’m with new management, they’re doing a ton of really dope shit, we’re all doing sick individual things. Next year we’re going to take some time from doing something along these lines so we can create another web and keep spreading this shit through whatever we can. 

Bryce – To sum it up, a shifting of focus really. 

Conrad – Not necessarily even something like a rebrand, just a realignment with our goals. Lost Dogz didn’t start off really focused, we just really liked getting rowdy. 

Bryce – It wasn’t a joke, but it was like a really serious joke. 

Conrad – Now that we know that people like what we’re doing and will show out to support us wherever we go, I think it’s time to be more serious about what we’re doing overall.

After nearly a month-long cliffhanger, crashed is duly groomed and prepared for the public ear and the reveal of the title-track makes an ideal method of kicking the project into full swing. “The whole concept behind the idea of ‘crashed’ came to me after struggling over the same track for months on end. Almost everything I tried didn’t feel right to me…I felt as if I had lost my footing as far as what I was doing with this song and the project as a whole. I truly had ‘crashed’ from a creative and artistic standpoint,” vide shares regarding some of the internal hindrances that can make it difficult for a producer to ever feel holistically satisfied with a track.

They say the more arduous the journey, the sweeter the reward and vide’s EP hits indubitably on those notes. Check out ‘crashed’ below, and be sure to keep an eye out for the remainder of the project, which releases on all major platforms tomorrow!

‘Nucking Futs’ has a substantial amount of minute aesthetic elements that add significant character and texture to the piece as a whole, most you’ll miss on an initial listen. The vocal chops add an immensely pleasing slap effect, and readily contribute to the “fucked up” theme. The harshly satisfying melody mixed with the ruckus bassline work leaves the listener with only one simple goal in mind: get as absolutely buck as possible. The latter drop incorporates spacing ingeniously, with listeners thinking their speaker had to buffer for a quick second before the beat comes back in. Even after a substantial amount of rinses, one might have the impulse to check their bluetooth connection, a sign that this piece really does leave fans battered and all sorts of messed up. ‘Nucking Futs’ is just that, fucking nuts, and you should throw this bad boy on immediately.

Not much is known about gloom. besides the fact that his sound slaps, but what is most certain is that if he continues with this level of quality in his releases, not only will his dogs be eating, they’ll be feasting at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

The latest collaboration comes from the team of vide and EAZYBAKED in ‘Backseat Jameson.’ Smacking through the speakers at a high velocity, the intro synth is powerful enough to cause a natural disaster. It then goes on to present unmatched bass arrangements that resonate an indefectible frequency.

It appears as they have broke loose from the kennel and said fuck a collar with riotous intentions in ‘Backseat Jameson’. The second drop maintains a familiarity of the first while being diverse enough to keep listeners fully immersed. An aggressive yet delightful audial experience that teases at a forthcoming announcement later this week. Another incomparable collab keeps this pack at the forefront of the experimental bass community.

The post Eazybaked & vide Break Loose From the Kennel in ‘Backseat Jameson’ appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

In your previous interview with us, you spoke in detail about your father and his work in the music industry. Do you believe that if he hadn’t been doing something musically inclined that you still would’ve found your way to making music? 

Honestly, probably not, he was the one that got me started on the drums at age 3, he’s the one that taught me how to play guitar and bass at age 13, so yeah honestly, I am so lucky I was given this opportunity, I may have wanted to do something with music, but I would of just been bad at it without the push from my father.

Everyone in this industry is just so nice and it’s such an honor to be a part of it, I’m just grateful to be part of lost dogz and to have such great friends

2019 seems to already be a massive year for yourself and the rest of Lost Dogz. How do you stay grounded during all this?

Well, just staying humble, not getting an ego or thinking I’m better than anyone else. It was honestly a surprise to me that I got booked for main stage at both Emissions and The Untz, and honestly that opportunity led me to meet some of my favorite people I know now, from the L*o*J bois, and sober rob, THRPY, soulecist, adiidas, and all the bois I already knew. Everyone in this industry is just so nice and it’s such an honor to be a part of it, I’m just grateful to be part of lost dogz and to have such great friends.

Sktchcast, your last EP release, was a witty mix of music and skits. Do you plan on continuing releasing EP’s as Sktchcast’s? 

I am planning on doing a follow up to sktchcast, it probably won’t be my next EP release but it is coming, I already have a lot of the skits written out, ideas from the homies like Vide and my boi colton, it’s just fun to show people my sense of humor, even if it is stupid.

Give us a rundown of how you prepare for a set.

Well, this year certainly made me really realize to be prepared for sets and not just wing em, basically depending on the festival I’m playing I go for that mood. For example, Emissions is a more downtempo, low frequencies, leaned out type fest (that’s how I interpreted it anyways) so I wanted to go more, lo-fi trap, less wubs, 70-110 bpms, more of an early sktchy ppl vibe. The Untz was way more hype, and because we had that huge b2b we planned it together and it was way more hyped, and wubs, and dirty and 130bpm and up, I had an amazing time at both and cant even compare them, they were both amazing.

the feeling you get when you are on the main stage, with 4 of your best friends in the entire world…is a feeling I cannot describe.

You were recently part of the Lost Dogz takeover b2b set at the Untz! Can you tell us a little about that?

Oh man, probably the funnest festival I’ve played so far, the feeling you get when you are on the main stage, with 4 of your best friends in the entire world, all just throwing down songs and vibing off each other is a feeling I cannot describe. The crowd honestly shook me haha, I couldn’t believe how many lost dogz shirts I saw in the crowd, people had totems of dogs, it was just a really cool experience I hope to get to experience again. Shout out to The Untz and their whole team, honestly that was a beautiful festival, camping wise it was the best one I’ve been to.

What other labels or collectives do you look up to right now besides your own?

Definitely Courteous Fam, all those guys inspired all of us Lost Dogz, Below the Surface are the homies and I love those guys, shout out Jerremy and Bernard, Dont Die At Work is always dropping fire as well.

If you had the opportunity to work with one non-electronic artist on a track, who would it be?

Does Tennyson count? Probably not, U would say MF Doom or Earl Sweatshirt, for sure.

What are you most looking forward to for the rest of 2019?

Well I have a bunch of unreleased, that you will hear in the mix, that I’m going to be putting in an EP by the end of this year, I have a sample pack dropping the beginning of July, it’s gonna be a huge pack with over 350 samples, definitely the best pack of mine to date so make sure you cop it, and honestly hoping to get booked for some more shows and festivals

Where do you see Lost Dogz this same time next year?

I see us where we are now, just having fun, telling jokes, making dope ass music, playing shows together and having fun with each other, we may have a bigger following by then, and I’m really excited for what the future holds.
