MAZDE - NEVERLAND (MEMBA & ARK PATROL REMIXES)

Music, RemixAlli LindseyComment

Electronic music is often portrayed as its own, stand-alone genre- specific to a certain crowd, following specific chord progressions and melodies. But, in recent years electronic production has influenced genres as niche as garage rock and heavy metal. Simply put, electronic music is changing the way the world listens to, and composes music. Stoney Roads Records' artist, Mazde confirmed this theory with the release of his single, "Neverland." The single was a collaborative track with Rhode Island rapper, Khary, combining two, seemingly different worlds, EDM and rap. As Mazde continues his European summer tour, he is rekindling his relationship with the 9 month old track by passing it on to two other producers for remixing. NYC duo, MEMBA and Seattle based, Ark Patrol stepped up to add their own, unique third dimension to "Neverland." MEMBA's treatment is self proclaimed as "cheeky." The twosome added a bangin' trap vibe, overflowing with pleasantly nasty turns and drops—it is dynamically hype. While MEMBA turned it into a slam dunk piece, Ark Patrol layered "Neverland" with a slower, deeper and darker resonance, putting emphasis on the conscious nature of its lyricism. It's safe to say that Mazde passed the torch to the proper artists for capitalization. Each remix possesses a distinctly different spirit, giving the original release the complimentary elements it deserves. Explore these polar yet plentiful remixes via Soundcloud, and keep your eyes peeled for a very special Mazde Buzzzmix coming soon.

MAZDE - NEVERLAND FT. KHARY

Happy weekend and Happy October y'all! This gem of a track came out last week, but I've been slammed at work, per usual, so I'm only just now getting around to writing it up. I love future bass. Bash it all you want, but when done well, it's a magical style of music that can meld with so many other genres well. Hip hop is one of those genres. Flume killed it with Vic Mensa and Vince Staples; New Zealanders SACHI did it incredibly well with LA rapper DUCKWRTH. And here's another fine example from Berlin-based producer Mazde. Teaming up with NY-based rapper Khary for "Neverland", he manages to seamlessly blend an impressive palette of future synths with flawless hip hop percussion. The resulting effort is a hella bouncy beat with veriloquent verbiage and phenomenal flow from Khary's rhymes.
