Experimental electronic from Gaszia

Salt Lake City-based producer Gaszia (better known as one half of X&G), is an artist oozing creativity and originality. With his ability to blend genres to create unique and engaging soundscapes and his refusal to be boxed into one style, it’s little wonder he’s gained appreciation from electronic heavyweights such as Baauer, Skrillex, and Four Tet.

Now the prolific beat maker is following up his groundbreaking Fired Up EP with his latest release, a deconstructed club track titled “ApexClub”. The track comes via KUMO Collective, an independent electronic music label founded in 2017 and based in North Italy. Born as a simple SoundCloud channel to promote emerging artists, KUMO has quickly evolved into a label with a vivid and immediately recognisable identity.

On “ApexClub”, Gaszia spins a frenetic rhythm-driven club track that weaves between an array of thumping tribal beats and a plethora of textured instrumental layers. Dark, gritty and lively, his latest work delivers an effortlessly dynamic energy.

Commenting on the track, the producer offers, “This was actually a demo originally made for the Baauer Bop Battle series that was hosted during quarantine. I really wanna shout out that whole community because through there I really felt like I discovered myself and my confidence in making music. I suffered from imposter syndrome for a long time with X&G and being able to make ideas I was happy with and others enjoyed too gave me confidence in myself once again.”
