RL Grime and Baauer Announce Collaborative Alias and New Music: Details
Two of the most innovative producers in electronic music have something special up their sleeves. RL Grime and Baauer today unveiled a project called HÆRNY, which seems to be a nom de plume for new collaborative music. According to an announcement by the former, the duo are set to drop a new single this Friday, July 30th. They took to social media to share a preview of the track—tentatively titled “Fallaway”—and if the clip is any indication, it sounds like fans can expect a drum & bass banger. A new website developed for the project tells the fictitious backstory of the alias, which revolves around a “killer truck named HÆRNY.” The site also features a scannable QR code that diverts users to Instagram, where they can capture content with a custom HÆRNY-branded ...
ISOxo Stuns With Furious Single “Aarena” On RL Grime’s Sable Valley Label
After a gangbusters debut on Sable Valley alongside label boss RL Grime, ISOxo is back with another in-your-face banger on the emerging imprint. All things considered, ISOxo’s follow-up, “Aarena,” starts off deceptively peaceful with glistening synths and ethereal vocal swirls. As the lyrics slowly come into focus, a familiar voice is revealed to be a sample of Natasha Bedingfield from her early 2000s classic “Pocketful of Sunshine,” an intriguing and unconventional sample choice in the broader context of this haunting trap anthem. Even as the consistent calls of “take me away” crescendo through the arrangement, there’s nothing that could’ve quite prepared us for the sweeping bass music barrage to follow. A...
