Aussie-based artist AXEN has released his first track of the year, a follow up to 2020’s “Terror.” This time he’s flipped the hit track “Stay,” by Kid Laroi and Justin Beiber, putting his unique skillset on full display with this one. “Stay (AXEN Remix),” encompasses a drum and bass flow as shining synths and colorful melodies take centerstage. Balancing elements of the original with own style, AXEN brings out a beautiful blend between the two worlds. The remix here is packed full of hooks and catchy moments, making it an easy one to put on repeat. Attention-grabbing from the first moments until the very last, he shows he knows what he’s doing when it comes to make a solid contribution to the d’n’b scene and electronic music as a whole.
“I had this track stuck in my head on loop for days and that’s usually a good indication for me to do a remix of something. It’s super catchy and I thought the vocals would work well in drum & bass format. The track is already at 170bpm so it was begging for it!”
Far from his first release, this artist has been making some stellar moves lately, catching the eye of Aussie industry figures as well as folks around the globe. He’s been featured by several notable tastemaker brands and outlets such as InTheMix and even got a remix signed to Circus Records after taking on the challenge of remixing NGHTMRE and Flux Pavilion’s “Feel Your Love,” a few years back. He’s previously landed on the #3 spot with his music under Beatport’s ‘Dubstep Releases’ chart and gained the support of heavy-hitters like Excision, Adventure Club, Zeds Dead, Herobust, Figure, Kompany, Zomboy, and many others. He’s played EDC, Ultra Music Festival, Wobbleland and Lost Lands as well.
Showcasing a dynamic blend of high-end support as well as an enchanting spectrum of sounds via his releases, AXEN has earned the title as one to watch.
