XIE - $AVAGE (FEAT. JSTJR)

Music, Original MixSara NatkinsComment

XIE returns to the release radar with her fourth original production of 2021, “$AVAGE.” This time around, she’s joined alongside venerated electronic dance music powerhouse JSTJR, marking her first collaborative offering of the year. The new tune directly follows up XIE’s “LIGHTS ON ME,” released last month in mid-November, as well as JSTJR’s “LOUDER” with Henry Fong and Ultimate Rejects from mid-August of this year. The track immediately kicks off with glitchy, atmospherically entrancing soundscapes, and is quickly followed by XIE’s rich, textured vocal. The melodious serenading lulls the listener into a heady daze for several moments before the ground-shattering barrage of bass is introduced into the sonic space. Electro and jungle influences are fused together to create a lively combination of sheer energy unlike anything ever heard before it. The anthemic single’s intensity is also palpably raw from start-to-finish, and doesn’t ever let up until the last second. Audibly packing quite the punch, XIE and JSTJR’s newest propulsive endeavor serves as a testament to their impressive production prowess and is sure to get one on their feet in absolutely no time.
