The post Lucid Monday Sets Listeners On A Whimsical Adventure With Their ‘LM027’ Compilation appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

While it would take a novel to do every track justice, we have hand-selected a few favourites from the bunch to highlight today. And before we get into it, we highly implore you to dive into the compilation as a whole to form your own opinion, pick your own favourites, and appreciate the full breadth of talent on display in LM026.

The first standout comes from the ever-talented Chromonicci in ‘Teleporters.’ Doing what he has done so many times in the past, the producer fuses trap and bounce like no other in his latest tune, luring listeners in with a minimal approach that screams less is more. Not too complex but meticulously concocted, ‘Teleporters’ demonstrates Chromonicci’s undeniable talent in manipulating sounds.

The next standout comes from Losco and ONHELL, who teeter on the side of dubstep with their brute titled ‘Carnal.’ The track is ominous and sinister, borrowing elements from trap but carrying a halftime swagger with it that makes it so much darker and heavier. It’s unruly and unusual for a Lucid Monday contribution, but slaps way too hard to omit from the standouts.

Finally, the elusive zotti makes his return in a collaboration with FUXWITHIT favourites L*o*J in a stomping heater named ‘Pullup’ that meshes their styles to a tee. zotti’s vibrant sound makes itself heard throughout, while L*o*J contribute an arm-swinging vibe that makes ‘Pullup’ the type of tune that will make you flip your desk. Simply put, it boasts a confidence and swank that should be illegal.

There are so many more highlights in the compilation which in turn make LM026 a highlight of its own. Dilip, ini, olswel, Dabow, sober rob… the list goes on. Don’t miss it below.

Seeing Dabow, L*o*J, & LYNY on a track is enough to get any trap heads heart-pumping. ‘OG’ does not disappoint illustrating why they are 3 of the best out. The vocal is hypnotic and the track takes you into another dimension. From classic trap to mind-bending sound design, brutish bounce, and even a hazy, dripped out finale, it never stagnates and just keeps getting better.

Chill bangers seem like an oxymoron until you experience them for yourself, and then they’re all you want to hear. Evil Needle’s ‘Lift Off’ presents the tranquility of chilling on a tropical beach with a banging drop to take you to the beach club before allowing you to fully unwind and enjoy the breeze. You can practically taste the Mojitos and smell the saltwater dripping off this one.

Just in time for ‘Springszn’ comes the aptly titled collab from enuar & kas. Light and airy, it’s the audio equivalent of that first summer-like day after a long winter. The synths warm your skin like sun rays. The steel drums wash away any worries and replace your stress with a feeling of elation. Smiles, slow hip-swaying and smashing replay are the only things on the menu for ‘Springszn.’

Start your week off right with Lucid Monday’s LM025 and remember that Mondays aren’t all bad.

ini & Dilip do not disappoint with ‘Elements.’ The track fuses foreign film soundscapes, with heavy knock and sprinkles of grime for a feel that’s foreign but right at home. Following their last Lucid Monday release a few months back it seems Losco is really back! This time they link with young trap king in the making LYNY. To label this a banger is an understatement. Dope rap samples, hypnotic synths and drops that feel like getting drop kicked in the chest, what more could you ask for? olswel keeps it ‘positive’ with his contribution, pairing off-kilter bounce with a moving break and ride out. Further along L*o*J flex their exotic trap mastery for a sound that feels like the anthem for a Pharaoh’s coronation party.  Looking to get dragged into the darkess? aedfx. and godspeed have your number. Rounding out the can’t miss selections is Deffie & Keeth’s ‘Another One’ which is like getting turnt in the renaissance era with a futuristic twist.

With compilations like this, it seems it’s due time we start looking forward to Mondays.

The post olswel & inimicvs Further Showcase Chemistry On ‘woomp’ appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

I heard that you grew up in a very musical family. Can you tell us a bit about your music training growing up? 

I had taken piano lessons on and off while I was younger and I had also taught myself how to play bass guitar, which I had stuck to playing for a couple years, until I found about producing haha :)

What led you to producing?  

My dad had Logic Pro on the house computer and I had messed around with it a couple of times when I was really little, but it wasn’t until I was about 10 when found out about FL studio and downloaded the demo that I started to get really interested in music production.

Earlier this year you tweeted you were still figuring out where you want to go with your music. Have you gotten any further clarity around this in recent time?

Yeah, I think it was realizing that in the end it’s just about making what I enjoy doing and that I just have to stop putting limitations on myself. Making whatever I want and not caring about how many plays it gets or what other people will think of it has helped my creativity SO much.

What So Not is one of the top reasons I make the music I do today, so I definitely freaked out when I saw that he plays one of my songs almost every time he performs.

How did you feel when you found out What So Not was playing your music? Have any other major artists supported your work? 

What So Not is one of the top reasons I make the music I do today, so I definitely freaked out when I saw that he plays one of my songs almost every time he performs. I can’t think of any other artists with as big of a following as he has that have supported my music.

What impact has your age had on your progress in the industry? 

Not much from what I can tell as I never wanted my age to be my main selling point, so I try to keep it on the dl for the most part. But when people find out they think your music is a lot more impressive than before lmao.

Do you see this as an advantage or as a hindrance?

It has helped in some ways, but it has most definitely prevented me from getting booked in many situations haha.

actually having chemistry with the other musicians you’re working with is the most important part of collaborating in my opinion.

You seem to have some crazy chemistry with inimicvs and dilip. How did you first link up? What do you enjoy most about working with them?

I think it all started when I dmed ini on SoundCloud saying “oh my god ily” and then he was like “haha thank you bro. You wanna make something together homie?” and the rest is history. He introduced me to dilip and sui.luj and we all met up in LA and worked for a while and became really great friends. Some of the coolest people I’ve ever met and making music with them is super fun and easy, actually having chemistry with the other musicians you’re working with is the most important part of collaborating in my opinion.

An EP with dilip and hopefully a solo album from me 2020!

What should fans expect from you for the remainder of the year and into 2020?

An EP with dilip and hopefully a solo album from me 2020!

What are you most proud of accomplishing this year? 

Making some amazing lifelong friends and becoming a lot more happy with the music I’ve been making :)

Mystic Grizzly

Jordan Hoffman is as much an aural shaman as he is an astonishingly brilliant and frighteningly unique music producer. Crafting intricate, enigmatic soundscapes under the guise Mystic Grizzly, with the intention to provoke deep thought and self-reflection, while promoting a sense of community and understanding for the tremendous impact and significance that music plays within the world. A multi-talented musician with nearly a decade of experience with guitar, piano, percussion, and harmonica, Mystic Grizzly’s ear for the uncanny and desire to push the boundaries of experimental bass gives his style a flavor of depth and precision that is currently unrivaled.

The We’ve Arrived EP paints a vivid depiction of Hoffman’s ability to work within his individual style as an artist, while Extra Ordinary with leet and Sacred Path demonstrate an equivalent talent for working candidly with supplementary sounds. Regardless of the method of delivery, the style of Mystic Grizzly will induce a dreamlike state of introspection.

olswel

olswel has been on my list as a candidate for Focus Five for nearly a year. Tracks like ‘bb_ily’ and ‘TR808’ showcased a high level of raw potential and originality but left me feeling like his full potential was yet to be fully realized. It seems time is all it would take, as 2019 has been off to a remarkable start both in terms of quality of work and overall output. The past two months have been nothing short of amazing with 3 incredible collabs with inimicvs, another collab with Summet and 3 solo originals. Almost every single week olswel is back with another impressive effort. Combining future beat, trap, future bass, and an almost jazz-like freedom for creative exploration, olswel is a must-listen for anyone who love artists like Sam Gellaitry and chromonicci. olswel is on track to become your favourite producer’s favourite producer, so don’t sleep.

Park

Park is not just a producer, he’s a freaking designer. The Armani of sound design, the Alexander Wang of bass music. Crazy ideas twisted with always excellent craftsmanship, creativity and technical skills, mind and machines working in perfect synergy: that’s what Park’s music is about. When it comes to underrated artists, the reddit bass community is unanimous in defining it outrageous that the Denver producer isn’t already in everyone’s libraries. This month has seen the release of it latest effort, the jawdropping S5 EP, a collection of three heavy weapons by him and regular collaborator Sakuraburst, which foreruns their ‘Ancient Show’, about to debut in May at Emission Festival.

SYN

First appearing on the scene in February 2018, Montreal-based hell-hound SYN has quickly become one of the hottest commodities in the bass scene. Following the tried and tested routine of capturing listeners with jaw-dropping remixes of classic cuts like Nero’s ‘Doomsday’, Deadmau5’s ‘Ghost ‘n’ Stuff’ and Porter Robinson’s ‘Unison’, SYN has recently turned his attention to crafting his own obsidian originals. Working with what he calls #NEW RAVE, his productions often operate at a blistering pace, battering your brains with a whipped up mix of DnB, dub- and drum-step. Depraved, diabolic and doom-ridden, #NEW RAVE is nothing if not nefarious, no holds barred, no nonsense rage-worthy revelry. While he’s clearly found his groove already dropping five tracks in 2019, the standout SYN production in my eyes comes in ‘Psycho,’ a soul-crushing stomper, sure to inspire some salacious and sickening rave rituals. It’s time to come to terms with our weaknesses and admit we’re all synners…

ukko

In the spirit of spring, what better way to cap off another Focus Five segment than with ukko, a Switzerland-based producer who makes some of the hottest and liveliest beats. Recently hitting the 5k follower mark on SoundCloud and sharing the bouncy ‘skies’, ukko stated that he’s approximately halfway through the production of his upcoming Senses EP. Promising “dream pop/folk/trap,” the upcoming project is sure to put ukko on the map. With an uplifting signature highlighted by feel-good melodies and a future bounce essence, every ukko production is sure to put a smile on your face. With tracks such as his latest ‘atoms and void’, the talented artist always finds a way to keep his tracks fun and fresh, often playing with the tempo to engage his audience.
