With an electrifying live presence, they promise to captivate audiences and push the boundaries of bass music. Keep an eye on Xotix as they continue to innovate and leave their mark on the electronic music scene.
“The process of writing this EP really started when we wrote and recorded the vocals for ‘WOOK ROCKET’ with Pure Powers. The idea of an epic space-bass odyssey came together pretty seamlessly after that, hence the name ‘A VERY WEIRD AND TOTALLY AWESOME JOURNEY.’ We already had ‘SPIN’ written with Myrias, so we made edits to emphasize the darker vibes in that song; and as a result ‘SPIN’ became the embodiment of the darker, more challenging part of this journey. ‘SUCKA’ was also already in the works; so we found a fun, catchy vocal that would kind of feel a bit more lighthearted and carefree. Finally, ‘BUTTERFACE’ was made as more of a joke than anything else. We thought the vocals that Jake laid down were stupid and fun, so we decided to throw the song on the EP for fun. All in all, we feel it came together really nicely, with ‘WOOK ROCKET’ serving as a sort of mission statement and manifesto for the rest of the album; ‘SPIN’ and ‘SUCKA’ embodying the duality of the positive and negative aspects of the journey, and ‘BUTTERFACE’ as a big, irreverent, meaningless cherry on top.” – Xotix
Xotix, a Northern California duo, makes a triumphant return to Bassrush Records with their latest EP, “A VERY WEIRD AND TOTALLY AWESOME JOURNEY.” The four-track project takes listeners on a thematic adventure through the cosmos, underscored by Xotix’s signature wonky bass sound. The lead single, “Wook Rocket,” featuring Pure Powers, seamlessly merges underground rap with trap and experimental bass, delivering an anthemic yet gritty track that propels listeners into a new dimension. Pure Powers’ evocative vocals vividly depict the journey, while Xotix’s mind-bending sound design and spacey flourishes simulate the sensation of soaring through the stars, striking a perfect balance between experimentalism and accessibility.
In the EP’s next chapter, Xotix teams up with rising bass talent MYRIAS on “SPIN,” a dark and menacing anthem that plunges listeners into the depths of a black hole. With pitched-down vocals adding a sinister touch, the track pulses with ominous undertones and pulse-raising alarm sirens. The diverse drops offer a relentless barrage of vocal synth leads, hip-hop vocal chops, and mesmerizing soundscapes, keeping listeners captivated with each new twist. “SPIN” exemplifies Xotix and MYRIAS’ ability to blend cinematic sci-fi atmospheres with gritty dubstep grooves, showcasing their prowess in the bass scene with a track that’s as weird as it is exhilarating.
