UPFRONTBEATS

Boxia joins the No Idea’s Original roster with three moody cuts geared for the dancefloor.

Following a commended release on Drumcode, Boxia’s rapid ascension into the spotlight has been envious to say the least. Although the British producer only kick started his production career as Boxia midway into 2015 he’s quickly been acknowledged by the upper echelons of house and techno, with the likes of Adam Beyer, Maya Jane Coles, Eats Everything, Alan Fitzpatrick and NIO founder Huxley showing support.

In ‘Hypnosis’ Boxia combines ethereal synths with a distorted vocal and a twisted hook to generate a mesmerising aesthetic aligned with the track title. ‘Generation’ then puts more emphasis on robust kicks whilst echoing rimshots and sombre atmospherics continue throughout. Finally, the energetic ‘Dance Paradise’ ties up the package with a chopped female vox, wobbly stabs and distant horns.

Boxia ‘Wonderful Road EP’ drops on No Idea’s Original on 26th August 2016.
