Drum & Bass | Lux Mundi Drops Epic Drum And Bass Tune With ‘Holding On’
Posted by VMan on April 26, 2022
Lux Mundi are clearly a force to be reckoned with. “Holding On,” is the latest example as to why with Derek de Lang and Keith Larsen being in the driver seat of this project. It’s easy to get the feeling that “Holding On,” was bought through a variety of genre-influences being taken into consideration. For example, the vocal angle seems as if it could be something heard within a Above & Beyond set, juxtaposing this is a drop that is intense and full of rhythm. Even though all of this is going on, “Holding On,” feels complete and well put together. It’s not easy to unite diverse concepts all into one track, but that the impression that Lux Mundi gives in terms of what they are able to achieve. Lux Mundi are fairly new since their Spotify profile shows they kicked things off in 2021. But, the two members are seasoned and have worked in music personally and professionally for many years.
A cascade of events is what led the Derek de Lang and Keith Larsen committing to the idea that would give way to Lux Mundi being a thing. Years ago the two were having a go at the LA local band scene. Doug Grean is the guy to credit introducing the two heads to each other. Doug Grean is a well-known songwriter who often partnered with Scott Weiland of Velvet Revolver and Stone Temple Pilots to capture time-testing jams. Going through the various hoops and hurdles of life, the two gravitated toward each other more and more, eventually making the arrangements to bring the Lux Mundi idea to life.
The future is looking awesome for Lux Mundi, “Holding On,” is a long-standing gift from these guys easy to enjoy again and again.

Future Trap, Trap | St. Mary Unveils Stunning Music Video For Reo Cragun Collaboration “FIRE TO THE BLOCK”
Posted by VMan on October 1, 2021
Hailing from Cyprus and based in LA, St. Mary hit it big last year with her impressive single “Blind” alongside Misdom, which has amassed over 500k streams just on Spotify since its release, showcasing an emotive and over the top melodic trap sound. Now, she has finally made her comeback with “FIRE TO THE BLOCK” featuring talented rapper and vocalist Reo Cragun, who is widely known for his collaborations with the likes of Flume and Ekali.
Juxtaposing rattling hi-hats and deep bass with heavenly vocals and melodies, “FIRE TO THE BLOCK“ is without a doubt a stunner. With her vibrant production, St. Mary is always able to effortlessly complement her featured guests, an ability that shines bright on this new single. The rising producer has also just unveiled her brand new video for the song, directed, produced, filmed and edited by Savvas Christou, while starring herself and numerous actors in an immersive and chaotic story.
As St. Mary explains about the song and the music video:
“‘FIRE TO THE BLOCK’ is all about that abrupt moment of emotional outburst – a time when all the disappointment you felt and overlook you got from people has climaxed and then finally set free, hence the bittersweet undertone throughout the song. Producing this track felt like that outburst to me and I really wanted to convey that feeling to my listeners which is how the ‘bigger-than-life’ instrumental breaks came in.”
“We filmed the music video for it while I was still working on the song which ended up playing a huge role in how they both developed. I approached them as one major project and so every creative decision I took on the video would then affect my production on the song and vice versa. The first and last scene of the music video shows a time bomb tied onto me which turns the feeling like you are about to explode into something literal and represents that emotional state. The video ends with a scene showing the bomb having one second to explode letting the viewer decide whether it goes off or not – sometimes we decide at the last minute to hold everything in instead. The blow-up only exists in our imagination and then the story just repeats itself.”
