Published

on

Step into the captivating musical universe of Draxx, the Italian maverick who’s turning the tech house scene upside down with his irresistible beats and magnetic persona.

Hailing from the land of good food (no, I’m not biased), Draxx isn’t just serving up delicious tunes; he’s concocting masterpieces that have dancefloors bouncing from Milan to Miami. Known for his songs that hit harder than a Vespa in rush hour, Draxx has caught the attention of industry heavyweights like Cloonee, Hugel, and John Summit, earning him a spot among the genre’s elite.

But it’s not just the big names who are singing Draxx’s praises; his tracks have been snapped up by some of the coolest labels in the game, from Insomniac to Moon Harbour. And with bangers like “WTF” and “Ponteme” climbing the charts faster than you can say “ciao bella”, it’s clear that Draxx is on a mission to make waves in the world of electronic music.

In 2023, Draxx’s star reached new heights when he was crowned one of ‘The Future of Dance’ producers by 1001Tracklists, cementing his status as a trendsetter in the scene. And with his remix of Kevin McKay’s “Work” sending shockwaves through the EDM community, it’s safe to say that Draxx is just getting started.

With a sound that’s as spicy as a plate of arrabbiata and a vibe that’s as cool as a summer night in Capri, Draxx is the Italian stallion of the tech house scene, and he’s ready to take you on a wild ride.

Spaceman enlists Fatboi Sharif for “Think Twice”

Published

on

Interstellar word-smith Spaceman beams in from somewhere in the cosmos with new single “Think Twice.” Somewhere between vaporwave, the darkly analog synth soundtracks of John Carpenter and abstract boom-bap the off-kilter slap was produced by The Suspect (Allegedly).  Spaceman comes with rugged bugged rhymes and enlists fellow lyrical non-conformist Fatboi Sharif for a guest verse. 

Speaking on the link-up for this joint, Spaceman relayed “I’ve known Fatboi for a long time. He and his homie (89 the Brainchild) were doing an underground radio show that supported my (then) crew back in the early 2010s. Interestingly enough he didn’t even rap back then.  Fatboi makes it known that his style is definitely *not* horrorcore, which I respect, but being the pea-brain I am I still can’t help but associate him with that aesthetic. So, when I was thinking of who could help me sketch out the dark cerebral atmosphere of this record ,his was the name that jumped out.”

Listen to “Think Twice” ft. Fatboi Sharif:

“Think Twice” is part of self-proclaimed “Social Skills” series of singles from Spaceman to drop this year.  The title of the series is a nod to the emcee’s willingness to step out of his comfort zone and collaborate with other rappers who he respects (considering Spaceman’s last three projects, which were strictly solo affairs).

The “Social Skills” series kicked off with recent single “Mumblecore” which featured his former Inner City Kids Collective cohorts ABGOHARD and Producer K3Mal (link below).
