Josh Banton Ignites the Music Scene with Sizzling Solo Debut Single ‘Temperature’
After years of anticipation, Brooklyn’s very own Josh Banton has finally returned to the music scene with the release of his scorching solo debut single, “Temperature”. Coming off a mesmerizing performance at the 2024 Road to the Giveback, Banton’s comeback is making waves, and it’s clear that the heat is just getting started.
Josh Banton’s return marks a new chapter in his musical journey. Formerly known as Lex Banton during his time with VDP, Josh has undergone a transformation, both as an artist and an individual. “Temperature” is a true statement. A declaration of his growth, his evolution, and his passion for music. This track takes listeners on a journey to the Islands, blending tropical beats with the rhythms of Dancehall, creating a vibe that’s perfect for those summer nights spent dancing under the stars.
“Temperature” is the soundtrack to summer. From the infectious rhythm to the catchy lyrics, Josh Banton has created a song that captures the essence of warm nights, backyard barbecues, and the joy of being surrounded by friends and family. The song’s cover art, vibrant and full of life, echoes the energy of the music, making it a perfect match for the track’s feel-good vibes.
But it’s not just the sound that’s making “Temperature” a hit—it’s the emotion behind it. Banton’s time away from the spotlight has only deepened his connection to his roots, and this track is a celebration of where he’s been and where he’s going. As he performs across the five boroughs of New York, it’s clear that his energy is contagious, igniting crowds and leaving everyone wanting more.
Indigo Valet’s latest EP Beautiful & Strange feels like a deep exhale—a reminder that electronic music doesn’t always need to hit hard to hit home. Blending house, UKG, bass, and indie dance influences, the producer/DJ crafts a sound that’s as emotionally resonant as it is rhythmically engaging.
The project opens with ‘Such a Rush’, a standout that immediately pulls you into Valet’s world. Anchored by UKG and breaks-inspired rhythms, the track balances shimmering synth textures with a thick, grounding bassline. But what really lands is the intention behind it: a meditation on slowing down. The repeated sentiment—“Why we gotta be in such a rush?”—feels especially poignant, cutting through the haze of everyday chaos.
Across the EP, Valet’s hip-hop roots subtly inform the groove and pacing. ‘For You’ glides with a softer touch, layering melodic elements over a steady pulse, while ‘Better Alone’ explores more introspective territory, pairing moody tones with a groove that keeps things moving without overpowering the emotion.
What stands out most is the cohesion of the project. At just over 16 minutes, Beautiful & Strange never overstays its welcome, but still manages to feel complete. Each track flows naturally into the next, creating a continuous listening experience that mirrors the ebb and flow of a late-night drive or a sunrise set.
Closing track ‘Need You’ with Path2 adds a final layer of depth, emphasizing connection and vulnerability. It’s a fitting end to a project that’s rooted in community, self-reflection, and presence. Indigo Valet isn’t just making tracks for the dancefloor—he’s creating space for listeners to feel, reset, and reconnect.
