When I first noticed ISOxo reside on the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles, his first headline present together with Brownies & Lemonade, I used to be instantly indoctrinated into the ISOxo religion. The power that crowd had was in contrast to something I remembered in recent times and it wouldn’t be a lot of an understatement to say it reinvigorated my love of dance music once more, or no less than lure, like renewing one’s vows.
That present was October 16, 2021, and 13 months later, one of many greatest tracks of that evening is lastly out — “Say What” with G Jones.
I keep in mind when he obtained on the mic on the present and informed the gang one thing alongside the traces of, “This is unreleased with G Jones,” and I turned to ISO’s supervisor within the balcony with a face clearly conveying shock, and he gave me essentially the most refined grin and simply nodded.
The three-minute monitor is a superb mixture of each artists’ kinds, G Jones’ iconic synth stabs and ISOxo’s percussion-soaked drops. Each artist left a bit of their soul inside this collab and with each pay attention, increasingly refined components rise to the service, to not point out the impact it has on the gang when truly performed out reside.
“The song ‘Say What’ started off as a beat challenge that I did a few years ago. I wanted to make a G Jones type beat when creating the track, little did I know that years later he would actually want to work on it too. This was really a full circle moment for me.” – ISOxo
“Julian sent me a demo of this idea and I immediately loved it. He sent over stems, and from there the rest of track came together really quickly. It felt like a really natural and effortless collaboration.” – G Jones
“Say What” comes as a part of G Jones forthcoming EP, ILLUSORY TRACKS, out earlier than the top of the yr. Listen beneath.
