There is much to say about San Diego bass producer, XAVAGE, and his current rise to the forefront of the electronic bass scene with his steady flow of killer releases. He has never failed to surprise us with the wide range of different sounds he encorporates into each and every tune, leaving us wanting more with each drop. Today, this acceleration into the spotlight of bass music continues with his latest track, “Don’t Stop”, which packs an infectious energy from start to finish. With its trap style soundscape and funky synths, this track’s bouncy nature will have anyone grooving and moving to its catchy melodies. XAVAGE is not here to play with this release, bringing the feel good party vibes to us whenever we get the chance to blast this. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Don’t Stop”, a certified bop.

“Don’t Stop is all about bringing the twerk vibes to bass music. I was inspired to create a song that gets people moving and grooving. Fans can expect some major collabs in the near future that raise the bar of electronic trap music centered around bounce and groove”

Diving Deep w/ XAVAGE

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

Dancing was my gateway drug to pursuing music production. I grew up on several competitive hip hop dance teams and throughout the years my passion for music transitioned from dancing to creating music. This is the sole reason why I push for rhythm and groove in all my songs.

2. What has been the biggest difference you’ve noticed when first starting off as an artist vs now after experience playing events, doing releases etc?

In the wise words of Michael Scott from the Office, “Keep it simple stupid”. Throughout the years I have simplified my music by focusing on making one great idea sonically cohesive.

3. What kind of impact do you wish to have on the scene 1-2 years from now with your project?

The impact I want to make on the trap scene is to bring us back to the roots of rhythm and groove. Trap music does not have to be brain melting music focused on opening up a pit.

4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to not make music to impress other artists. Stick to what makes YOU move. Break the rules and most importantly put in effort every single day to be better.
