It’s undeniable that Florida has birthed some of the electronic scene’s most prominent figureheads and rising artists one must listen to. Looks like there is one more to add now as we make room for the takeover  Censored The Audio. This individual has quickly drawn the attention of many for his combination of deep sonics, dembow production perspective and ability to sever the fragments of reality within his wide range of electronic flow. Today we get the honor of premiering a new single titled “Cayuro” which is part of a new upcoming ep that will be released in its entirety on Incurzion Audio. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the future of what thought-provoking soundscapes will sound like, you can do that now by tuning in to this young legend. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive into what makes this song what we like to call, a certified bop.

“With a unique blend of genres and a distinctive sonic identity, Censored The Audio has established himself as a trailblazer in the world of LEFT FIELD Drum & Bass (and beyond). Drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences, his music transcends traditional and tribal boundaries and pushes the limits of what can be achieved within the electronic music landscape” 

 

Diving Deep w/ Censored The Audio

1.Who are some artists that you look up to within the drum and bass scene, and how have they inspired you to dive deep within the genre? 

I‘ve been swimming in the drum and bass realm for 12 years now, and I’d started at an early age by picking up local gigs in Puerto Rico.

Coming across the grand majority of genres and styles, jungle was one that really caught my ears. Producers like DJ Fresh, Fracture, Neptune, all the way to Shlomo were definitely inspiring for me early in the run. There’s a giant list of people that I personally look up to, among them are: Emperor, Munchi, Skeptical, Dub Phizix, DJ Blass and many more.

2.You often release and feature on guest mixes, any future sessions that listeners can look forward to hearing? 

 I don‘t really have any guest mixes lined up at the moment, I‘ve taken this year to focus more on the production side of things.

If I do end up picking some up, I will for sure let you know through my socials!

3.What influenced the track title, “Cayuro”, and what significance does it have to you? 

The whole “Diumba” EP thrives out of my Puerto Rican heritage; “Diumba” meaning Dance. With entire landscape recordings of coquís, Old San Juan wind chimes and the atmosphere of neighborhoods, you get a little feeling of Puerto Rico per track.The track titles are actually using a dead indigenous language from Puerto Rico.

Cayuro” is a word to describe a variety of medicinal soursop leaves. “Xaxabis” is a Hispaniolan parrot that Dave Columbo-Jenkins pointed out on Vision Radio episode 24 of season 3. “Tuyra” means Evil genius. That’s what they called the Spaniards. “Operito” means Ghost. Astral body of a disembodied. “Caocatex” is the name of the young son of Cacicavel, saved from the Xaragua massacre with Coati’s group, who fled to Marién. He then returned to Xaragua and not finding his relatives, he went to Xigüey where he died fighting against foreigners.

4.What’s next for this project? How do you hope to grow as an artist in the future?
