OX7GEN – Drip
As mentioned in our first Weekly Wob Wrap-Up, OX7GEN is a leading producer in India’s music scene who his mark with Drum & Bass releases. Hot on the heels of his release last month, here comes his acclaimed HE.SHE.THEY debut EP titled “Why So Demure”. The body of work features “Drip” a darker, bassy club cut that bubbles with glitchy vocal samples and pulsing kicks before going into 5 am deep space territory with nods to Goan influences as the track progresses.
OX7GEN says “Drip”, works as a more bass-line focussed, warehouse targeting, antithesis to the lightness before. I think these tracks perfectly represent the radical inclusion that HE.SHE.THEY. is all about.”
