FEATURED RELEASE
‘Behave’ by Xerx is to be released on the 21st of January and will be available to stream on all major streaming platforms! For this single, Xerx teamed up with Tmob who has worked with the likes of Young6ix, Solochulo, Skenzo, and Big Kash. ‘Behave’ lasts around two minutes and sits at 82bpm. The track commences with an eleven-second intro that builds a sense of anticipation for the verse and sets the tone from the outset.
The foundational sub-bass amalgamates with the ominous vocalizations and rhythmic beat to provide the perfect platform for the main vocal. Xerx’s stylistically affected vocal color seamlessly synchronizes with the dark vibe of the instrumentation. The subtle layering of multiple vocal elements adds a depth and creative flair to the vocal line without detracting from the lyrical prominence.
“I remember being in the studio and showing Tmob a reference beat and telling him to do his thing…40 minutes later he plays me the beat for ‘Behave’ and I was blown away…I wanted to make a song that was different from anything that has been done in aus, I call this feel good music, a song that will get you out of your seat and that’s a guarantee.”
The percussion systematically pulls back in the mix, check out 1:10 to 1:17, delivering just the right amount of dynamic diversity to ensure that this single is engaging from start to finish. By the time ‘Behave’ draws to a close, you’ll find yourself caught up in the hypnotic vibe, humming along with the catchy hook and in need of hitting that repeat button for another listen.
