Albums | MXSY Makes Statement With Trap Monster “Calentura”
Posted by VMan on March 1, 2023
FUXWITHIT is always on the hunt for the next wave of artists taking bass music to new heights. The never-ending quest has taken the label to Dublin, Ireland with the discovery of 15-year-old production sensation MXSY. Don’t let his age or follower count fool you, MXSY is up next. A slew of incredible self-releases have been building his catalog and hype. Add in a single on the always impressive dumb collective and a remix of Gurf’s ‘Big Gurl’ and it’s clear that MXSY is gearing up to take over the electronic trap scene. With the release of ‘Calentura’ on FUXWITHIT, MXSY is about to put everyone on notice.
“Calentura” is one of the year’s stand-out trap bangers. The opening melody and atmospherics set the tone with an alluring and addictive sound. The feverish vocal drives things forward as it’s bent and chopped over the course of the track, giving the song its namesake. The drops are devastating and riddled with bass, finding a pocket that’s true trap perfection. What makes ‘Calentura’ so exciting is the progression. Even within the drops, MXSY is constantly keeping listeners on their toes, whether it’s feaking the bass, twisting the melodies, or mixing up the percussion. “Calentura” proves MXSY should be everyone’s artists to watch list for 2023 and sets the bar for trap bangers this year.
“My goal when creating ‘Calentura’ was to create a strange, atmospheric kind of landscape, and then switch it up completely for the drop, with a groovy beat and a weird bass sound to catch listeners off guard. I wanted listeners to always be on their toes, not knowing what is coming next. For example, they are waiting for the drop, just for it to be teased for 4 bars, then all of a sudden have it smacked in their faces!” -MXSY

There’s no denying that Justin Jay is killing it. He’s already unveiled the first three parts of his debut album, and now, we’ve got a glimpse of the fourth courtesy of Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars label. “Climbing Trees” has been making the rounds on the Internet for a while now, ever since Justin debuted it in his live sets on his “Fantastic Voyage” tour – and for good reason. The record is undeniably huge, as it expertly toes the line between dark, brooding warehouse heater and lighthearted summer jam. Josh Taylor’s airy vocals offer a noticeable counterpart to Benny Bridges’ heavy guitar licks and Justin’s expertly crafted basslines.
