 X Revolution Shares New Single ‘New Dawn’

Published

on

Australian artist X Revolution releases his brand-new single ‘New Dawn’. The track merges his signature songwriting, prowess, smooth vocals, and hip-hop roots. His work is innovative blending the raw intensity of hip-hop and rap with the experimental edge of electronic music.

Established with a vision to illuminate the truths of our world, X Revolution isn’t just a music project; it’s a call to action, inviting listeners to confront reality head-on and inspire change through the power of sound. He defies conventional boundaries, creating a unique soundscape that draws inspiration from the structural complexity and emotive power of music.

The compelling track showcases X Revolution as an emerging artist with a groundbreaking force. His musical abilities to craft music showcase that his music not only resonates but leaves a lasting impression. ‘New Dawn’ dives deeper, highlighting his growth and musical prowess.

Blurring the lines between hip-hop, rap, and electronic music X Revolution’s artistry shines through in ‘New Dawn’ which possesses a contemplative blend of high-energy beats and emotionally charged lyricism.

‘New Dawn’ sees X Revolution craft for the open-minded listener who yearns for something beyond the mainstream. He created the track by writing down the original piano line first, then re-printing the audio into another channel and reorganizing the arrangements. After that, he wrote a simple beat to it and played around with an 808 bass on the chorus. In the verses, he wrote an arpeggio and sound-designed a Reese bass to go with it. In the background of the track, he used atmospheric elements to set the mood creating an engaging soundscape.

On the track, X Revolution questions, “How do we find a new way to pave paths into the future, for the better of humanity?”

The goal of X Revolution is to create a society based on accountability, ethics, and the truth. In addition to entertaining, his goal is to educate and inspire our audience to take on more important interactions with the outside world. His goal is very clear: to challenge listeners to face the reality of our day and take purposeful action by using our music as a tool for change. X Revolution is a movement that involves many people rather than just one person. By putting the group’s culture ahead of individual recognition, he hopes to foster an environment where everyone can participate, learn, and develop.

Bay Area beatmaker/visual artist DJ Design returns with new single “I Wanna Be Free” (Below System Records).  Washes of synth collide with a dense horn arrangement and snappin’ drums.  West-Coast emcee Gennessee guests on the track spitting a lyrical dissertation on the woes of a police state, racial profiling and surveillance.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat

As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring

characters in the game today.
