Following on from his widely celebrated return to drum & bass, and Hospital Records, with ÔI See The Future In Your EyesÕ, Netsky brings his classic liquid sound into 2020 on his latest release ÔMixed EmotionsÕ (feat. Montell2099), giving a further look into what we can expect from his forthcoming album ÔSecond NatureÕ.
Teaming up with New Zealand based prodigy Montell2099 who has worked with the likes of Diplo, 21 Savage, Lil Wayne and Mr. Carmack, future bass meets NetskyÕs signature soulful groove on ÔMixed EmotionsÕ. Solemn pad hits and captivating vocals from the offset immediately set the track up to be a euphoria-tinted drum & bass anthem which combines a multitude of sounds from the dance music spectrum. Potent synth plucks perform an irresistible melody which breathes an air of Netsky and Montell2099Õs musical mastery, swiftly followed by a submerging reese bass and striking drums.
With the music doing the talking, itÕs clear that NetskyÕs return to drum & bass has rippled throughout the world of electronic music and beyond. ÔI See The Future In Your EyesÕ, his first drum & bass record in five years, received widespread support from respected industry tastemakers including Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, Nick Grimshaw, MistaJam, Rene LaVice, Hybrid Minds, Alice Levine and even New ZealandÕs Prime Minister Jacinda Arden, as well as clocking up well over 1 million streams in its first few weeks. With ÔMixed Emotions (feat. Montell2099)Õ as a follow up, and news of an album further down the line, Netsky is giving a clear indication of whatÕs yet to come and this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting projects drum & bass has seen for some time.
A truly iconic artist for all manner of drum & bass fanatics across the globe, the unprecedented way that NetskyÕs music resonates with audiences has never been matched.
