For Global Vibe Radio’s 157th edition we call on the skills of Drumcode Records artist Boxia, who will be releasing his debut LP A Night In The Life Of on Drumcode on the 3rd June, 2019.
An artist whose outlook is heavily influenced by years spent on the dancefloors of clubs across the UK and overseas, Boxia’s multi-faceted approach to music allows him to channel his creativity through a number of styles, maintaining a playful, inventive and often experimental output. Releases with Drumcode and appearances at influential clubs and festivals all over the world have put Boxia at the top of his game.
Since breaking through in 2015, Boxia’s music has quickly progressed him into the upper echelons of underground dance music stardom. Quiet and unassuming by nature, his sound is drenched in transcendental atmosphere and evocative soundscapes; making it a perfect meeting place for the warehouse energy of Techno and the intelligent thoughtfulness of Progressive House.
For all of us, clubbing and nightlife are a myriad of sights, sounds and experiences. With the concept of this album, Boxia has attempted to sketch some of the characters he’s met along the way.
“I wanted this album to be as much about the people that I’ve met, as it is about me. People I talk to every day; people I only encountered once, and my life long companions.”
“Each track is inspired by my personal interactions with these people. The quiet but dedicated raver who never leaves their spot on the dancefloor or the friend who disappears at every party, but always turns up hours later with a huge smile on their face…” – Boxia
Over the fourteen tracks, these ‘shared experiences’ take the form of warehouse stompers, melodic soundscapes and delicate, personal moments. More than just a collection of club tracks, ‘A Night In The Life Of’ lifts the lid on a producer with startling range and a razor-sharp sonic palette, tapping into his own personal memories to create moments of incredible introspection.
