His stellar sound design can punch craters into the earth while his rhythmic structures can turn any dull scene into a frenzy. We highly recommend diving into his discography. You won’t regret it. Each tune is packed full of ear candy you can discover with every listen. Always integrating new sounds and even harder drums. Within the interview, we’ll dive deeper into his past and learn much more about what makes him the artist he is today. So buckle up, because this is going to be quite the ride!

First off, thanks so much for taking the time for this interview with us! How’re you doing? 

I am doing phenomenal & thank you guys for having me! This has been on my list of goals for a while now, so I’m very excited for it all. Coming across that Jon Casey mix years ago was my introduction to FUXWITHIT.

This mix is stacked with all new music from myself. They can expect new originals, remixes, and a couple collabs.

What can listeners expect when diving into this exciting new mix?

This mix is stacked with all new music from myself. They can expect new originals, remixes, and a couple collabs. Very excited for the Chase Atlantic remix with my friend Kotrax and a new original featuring Lucyimhome. She did an incredible job with the vocals.

You’ve been making music for some time now! When did you first discover your passion for creating the arts? Any specific moment in time?

So the story is… I started DJing first and worked my way into playing local shows. I eventually met two people that were doing pretty well in the scene, and they told me that if I ever wanted to make a name for myself, I should produce music as well. So, I took that advice and never looked back. I started my journey with 0 background or experience with music. It took about a year for it to really stick and for me to gain confidence in it but it became something I love more than anything.

When I got my first stereo system, I would listen to the local hiphop and R&B channel on the radio in my room all that time and that definitely plays a part in my music today. Shout out Wild 96.3.

What types of music were you growing up with in your household? Do those artists or styles inspire your current works today?

My parents really liked country music, but it never resonated with me. Growing up, they took my brothers and I to concerts like Shania Twain. When I got my first stereo system, I would listen to the local hip-hop and R&B channel on the radio in my room all the time, and that definitely plays a part in my music today. Shout out Wild 96.3.

I knew I wanted to change my name and eventually landed with Raucous. The word basically means a loud, obnoxious sound and it felt fitting for the music I was trying to make at the time. Now here we are years later, still making loud bass music.

Where did the name Raucous originate? Any story behind the alias?

When I first started DJing, I was a part of a duo, and we went by the name Smash Bros. After some time, we went different directions in life & I continued with DJing and making music. I knew I wanted to change my name and eventually landed with Raucous. The word basically means a loud, obnoxious sound and it felt fitting for the music I was trying to make at the time. Now here we are years later, still making loud bass music.

Your style has always had its own essence and presence within the underground. What draws you to the heavier style of electronic music? Where do you see that scene going in the next few years?

I think it’s the energy of it all that I am really drawn to. It definitely has molded its own place in the electronic scene, and I hope one day it emerges into the spotlight. Music is constantly evolving so I can see it becoming more popular. Especially as more producers tap into it.

I’ve always wanted to travel around and play shows so I’ve been pushing to get myself out there more, work with more people, create a lot of new music, the whole grind.

From releases on Partica Artist Group and SUS COLLECTIVE, to dropping some very impressive singles/remixes, what do you wish to accomplish for your project in the future?

Man “???” & “Candy” are still some of my favorites. Shout out Partica & SUS. I’ve always wanted to travel around and play shows so I’ve been pushing to get myself out there more, work with more people, create a lot of new music, the whole grind. So that’s at the top of my goals now, to be able to travel around the US and share what I love doing the most with people.

If you could visit and perform anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why?

First place that comes to mind is Half Pipe Records in Paris. They brought together two of my favorite things, music & skateboarding. I’ve been skating since I was a kid. Playing a show with people shredding behind me… that would be absolutely nuts. They have been killing it with their shows lately. 

Not many people know this but about 2 years ago now, I won first place in a Royal Caribbean cruise table tennis tournament. Certified Royal Caribbean gold medalist.

Outside of the music realm, what are some of your favorite hobbies or things to do to escape the world sometimes?

About 5 years ago, I really got into fitness, so lifting is something I very much enjoy doing. That, skateboarding, table tennis, simply sitting outside in the sun, always a good way for me to relax and reset outside of music. Not many people know this, but about 2 years ago now, I won first place in a Royal Caribbean cruise table tennis tournament. Certified Royal Caribbean gold medalist.

Do you have any incredible talent on your radar at the moment? If so, who should everyone keep an eye out for?

The first person that comes to mind is .NET RUN. Super underrated and incredibly talented producer. He has a pretty distinct sound with his production, versatile, and overall just solid music. Check him out for sure if you’re not familiar already. Port London as well. I think they are a trio but I can see them blowing up as they put out more music.

Thanks again for your time. We’ve admired your work for some time now. Any last words to our readers and listeners out there?

Thank you guys so much again for this! It’s been an absolute pleasure & I very much appreciate the support throughout the years. I appreciate everyone’s support on my music, and I hope that when you listen to this mix, you get a feel for my passion and what I love creating. Thank you guys again, and everyone who took the time to read! Enjoy the mix!

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

It’s time for another Throwback Thursday segment and this week, we’re bringing the ruckus like some mad motherf*ckas!

This track introduced me to the Trap game. And quite honestly, it was the perfect introduction. When I heard the term “trap” get thrown around in conversation, I always dismissed it as some type of dance music, which at that time, I didn’t fuxwith. But, this track alone opened my ears and mind. Originally produced by the Bingo Players, Rattle is a pretty awesome EDM tune. However, the Luminox Remix is just on a whole different level.

Luminox turns it up a notch with hard hitting kicks, slap-you-in-the-face snares, machine gun fast hi-hats. There is no way you can listen to this quietly. Right before the first drop, the beat build up is telling you to turn it up. Not only is the beat super dope, but the use of the Rick Ross grunt is classic. This track is about 2 years old now and with more than 800,000 plays on SoundCloud alone, its solidified Luminox as a dope Trapper (is that a thing? no? its a thing now!). Press play!

You know what it is, time for another installment of #FUXWITHITFRIDAYS. We’re getting things started with a new joint from Logic. We posted it earlier this week but it’s so nice we thought we’d add it in here for anyone who missed it. Moving on we got a number of hard hitting trap/twerk tunes from Buzz Trillington, Willy Joy, Flosstradamus, THUGLI, Goon Bags & Spenda C, UZ, Damn Right & Kickraux. There’s also a wild bass heavy remix of Slum Village from Moody Good. Closing things out are 3 rap tunes from XV, SZA feat. Kendrick Lamar and a dope freestyle from Shad over Drizzy’s Draft Day.  Enjoy the tunes and let us know your favourites below in the comments.

First of all, I can’t really fuxwith the use of the Arabic prayer being used, but holy shit, the vocal chop on this track is absolutely nuts! Breaux silently dropped this track 2 days ago, and during some late night sifting, I came across it on the fuxwithit SoundCloud. The track is titled after Indian actor Aishwarya Rai who is, upon further investigation, a huge star and quite the woman. Google her. But back to the music, this track bangs. Breaux doesn’t overwhelm the listener with a bunch of different sounds as the vocal chop and drums do most of the work. Enough said, just press play and turn it up.

At fuxwithit we’re always working to provide you with new sounds, break up-and-coming artists and generally give you new shit to bump. Keeping in line with that we’ve got an amazing artist you need to check out. His name is Cesqeaux and he hails from Groningen, Netherlands. He’s dj/producer who makes Moombahton, Trap, Eclectic, & Generation Bass. You may have heard his name if you’re a fan of  Dutch superstars Yellow Claw. That’s where I first caught wind of him, but never took the time to really look into his material. That is, until I heard the tracks off his EL Sabora EP with D’Maduro. The 3 song EP fuses latin music with Moombahton and Trap for a truly original and absolutely amazing sound. Every track is a certified banger, guaranteed to get you dancing. Stream the EP below.

Outside of the EP, Cesqeaux has also done a number of notable collaborations with Yellow Claw. The two biggest tracks being ‘IBETCHU’ and ‘Make It Clap’. Both contain massive builds and insane drops that’ll destroy any festival. Also be sure to check out the chilling ‘Psycho’ which will add some serious horror to any Halloween set it’s featured in.

Just because Cesqeaux has done some killer collaborations don’t doubt his ability to hold his own on a record. His originals ‘Justice’ and ‘Drill’ pack a serious hard hitting punch and his remix game is no joke either. Just listen to The Bloody Beetroots feat. Steve Aoki – Warp 2.0 (Cesqeaux TRAP 2.5 REMIX) or his remix of Justin Timerlake’s – Don’t Hold The Wall. If you’ve enjoyed the sounds, be sure to check out Cesqeaux on Twitter & Facebook and be sure to check back here for his new releases.

Friday. A glorious day we all look forward to. It means the end of another work or school week and  the beginning of the weekend. For some, Friday marks the weekend which is yours to seize at your leisure. For others, it means a late night out on the streets, bar/club hopping and wilding out. And sometimes for that same crowd, Friday night means your hungover at work on Saturday. Whatever your Friday looks like, you need some tunes to get you into your weekend and that’s what this series is all about. #FUXWITHITFRIDAYS is a weekly series where we’ll pick some of the tracks we haven’t covered but fux with, all neatly placed into a playlist that you can easily bump. We’re keeping it short to begin with, but if you begin to really fuxwithit then we may add more tracks.

For our first week, we got some certified bangers that will get you through your commute home and to the bar, club or house party at night.
