Quickly proving to be a powerful force in New York’s house community, Barkin has made huge leaps as an artist since diving into production just three years ago. Attending the highly regarded Icon Collective Music School, his knowledge and creativity when it comes to EDM are one-of-a-kind. Blending elements of different house sub-genres, such as progressive, electro, bass, and tech, Barkin has cultivated a magnetic signature sound.
Now, with momentum still growing from his first 2023 single, Barkin has joined forces with UK rapper KXNE on their new song, “Take A Risk”. This anthem wastes no time getting its audience amped, opening with a rolling bassline and catchy lyrics from KXNE. As the versatile rapper conveys electrifying vocals, Barkin perfectly ties in chilling effects and riveting synth progressions. Altogether, “Take A Risk” is a roller coaster ride of energy and emotion.
Reflecting on the track, Barkin says, “’Take A Risk’ is one of my favorite tracks I have made. I love the energy of the drops mixed with KXNE’s inspirational lyrics. In life, you have to take risks to achieve your dreams. I hope this track inspires you to take a risk and chase your dreams”. Putting Barkin and KXNE’s infectious persona and talent as artists, “Take A Risk” foreshadows an exciting year ahead for both projects.
