While few artists are able to master the ability to produce tracks featuring multiple genres so consistently, up and coming artist, STRVFE, has once again proven himself. Rising quickly in the scene and gaining notoriety, his newest release, “DKMV” is an enchanting club inspired bop mixed with nuanced bass that is an absolute must-listen.
The track masterfully bridges the divide between the earlier days of the EDM scene and the shift over to bass music seen in more recent years, while heavily showcasing his ability to submerge himself in genres outside of his signature sound. Overall, “DKMV” shows his development as an artist throughout the span of the STRVFE project, and we can’t wait to see what this means for future releases. Stream “DKMV” today on SoundCloud, and check out our exclusive Q/A with STRVFE below!
DIVING DEEP W/ STRVFE
“DKMV” features both hard-hitting bass, as well as elements of jungle and club-music; with that being said, what inspired you to take this route and combine these specific aspects of electronic music?
Well everyone knows a techno break is trendy right now. But in all seriousness ive been heavily inspired lately by the wave of heavy trap that has been taking over. On top of that, the aesthetics paying homage to the nostalgia of the 2000’s rave scene have always been a soft spot for me.
If you could choose one word to describe this track, what would it be and why?
Energy, because its constantly moving forward and its over before you know it. Just a constant build of momentum.
Most of your newer ID’s you’ve played out have been more oriented towards intense bass, why did you decide to switch it up with “DKMV?”
Personally i love experimenting and i think every artist should evolve and incorporate new styles to blend with their own. This track actually came out of a daily production challenge, where the goal was to write a drop every day of the week for 1 week.
What’s next for the STRVFE project? How do you hope to grow as an artist in the future?
Next up is more and more releases, and travel. This year im confident in my sound more than ever before, and i feel ready to show more range than i ever have.
