Somewhere between raw and refined, FAIRSMOOTH has found a perfect balance within his music. Since his FUXWTHIT premiere, he has released a six-track beat tape titled 24 with songs ranging from under ninety seconds to nearly three minutes. While claiming them to be “a bunch of throw away beats”, it made me eager to know what he had that he felt were not throw away beats as I found 24 to be a banger from start to finish. FAIRSMOOTH has granted me just that with his recent mash-up of JAY Z and Kanye West’s ‘Otis’ slapped over BADBADNOTGOOD’s ‘Running Away’ but portrayed in a way that felt as if the songs were made for each other. Almost as if it were the original production. In addition to his flip, he has released his next original ‘DUSK’ taking listeners through a serene field of soft audio before arriving at the main attraction.
‘DUSK’ opens with a passionate intro that toys with strings and trouble-free drums. It’s fitted to something you would hear on a Sunday morning as you prepare for the day. The intro extends into a spacious and airy arena before removing individual elements of the track exposing just the percussion. As tension rises, listeners have now arrived at the main attraction with FAIRSMOOTH transporting them from an easy Sunday morning to a club packed Friday at midnight. ‘DUSK’ drops into a bounce-infested trap heater giving us all a taste of what we were waiting for. It also goes to show the importance of listening to a track in full and digesting the complete story. You can listen below for yourself and cop the free download here.
