Moksi Starts New Chapter of His Career with Release of First Studio Album as Solo Artist With 12-Track “Moksi Crew.”
Many artists have to go on their own personal journeys in order to figure out some level of growth in their process. On our latest visit to Barong Family we are checking out “Moksi Crew” the third album drop from Moksi. Moksi, a talented musical duo, began their career in 2015 and quickly gained recognition when their single “Getting Higher” was released on Barong Family, thanks to the attention of Yellow Claw. This pivotal moment catapulted them into the electronic music scene, leading to the release of two albums and numerous successful singles across various renowned labels. They also made their stage debut in the same year, showcasing their electrifying performances at prestigious venues and festivals like Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, and Ultra Music Festival.
In 2023, Moksi is set to embark on a new chapter as a solo artist and producer with the release of “Moksi Crew.” This marks a significant shift in their career, promising fresh and innovative sounds that are bound to make an impact on the electronic music landscape. As their journey continues, fans can eagerly anticipate the exciting developments and releases from Moksi, as they remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of their musical craft.
“When I started Moksi in 2015, I never would’ve thought it would turn out to be such a versatile act. While pioneering the bass house genre, I quite organically expanded my sound to a much wider range within dance music. Touching on house, tech house, melodic house, deep house, and techno. For the “Moksi Crew” album, I wanted to keep building on all those influences. The goal was to make an album that reflects me as an artist while challenging the popular sounds within today’s house music revival. My approach to my production process was quite technical for what I’m used to. All to find interesting new sound design techniques to make it sound different from other music I’ve been working on in the past. It was so fun to actually get my hands dirty and rediscover myself. My goal as a producer is never to reproduce other people’s sound or to release music that connects easily to the masses. The contrary is true; I want to make music that pushes a sound forward. Music that builds on the shoulders of all the house music giants that came before me. The goal should always be growth, never success, because success is the thief of ambition. With that in mind, I hope this album will add to the ever-evolving story of house music.” – Moksi about “Moksi Crew“
