Phat basslines, twisting synths, dynamic hard-hitting drums and an instant rhythm to ignite your backside!
Channeling here musical inspiration from Rage Against The Machine, 311, Dr. Dre and Nine Inch Nails to the Gorillaz and Missy Elliot, Magnetie says: “There isn’t one genre I dislike, I find magic in each one of them.” Over the years she has worked with artists such as Paul Oakenfold, Cosmic Gate, Christopher Lawrence, Firebeatz, Sultan & Ned Sheppard, Sebastien Leger, Manuel De La Mare, Porter Robinson, Doctor P, Camo & Krooked, Downlink, DJ Hype, Goldie, S.P.Y. John B, DJ Skribble, DJ Muggs (from Cypruss Hill), Grandmaster Flash and many others.
Magnetie is a musician, DJ and producer who has been studying music and piano since she was six, DJing since she was fourteen, while growing up on Latin rhythms. She’s released over 20 original high caliber tracks, including “Daydreaming 24-7”, “Guitarra Loca”, “5 Pisco Sours” and “March Of The Insomniacs”. The creation of her own record label Insomnified, is an extension of the Magnetie brand and sound.
Every artist, DJ or music producer’s sound changes from album to album or even track to track. Magnetie produces a lot of music that varies in sound but she always leaves in some signature ‘Magnetie’ style that you can pick up on right away. “Sexting” is no exception. Phat basslines, twisting synths, dynamic hard-hitting drums and an instant rhythm to ignite your backside! She does it on “Mutant”. She does it on “Girl”. And she does on “You & Me”.
Though Trap in nature, “Sexting” is kind of dubby; it has a lot of low end, hard hitting bass with lots of atmospheric synth sounds, pianos and melodies layered throughout. It all feels so modern and progressive, yet deep, mystical and tribal at the same time. Magnetie is certainly one of the most innovative electronic artists I have listened to recently.
The hard thing to do is put expression and emotion into your music when producing electronic music. Magnetie shows you that it is possible. The low-end synth sounds are gritty and textured and each track is layered with interesting rhythms and effects as she intensely builds-up then breaks down the atmosphere, only to rebuild it again.
“Sexting” is a wonderful electronic masterpiece. Deep moody bass, heavy atmospheres, and just all around immersive music that is full of emotion and intention. Magnetie has managed to create a stunningly sensual, complex and sharp-toothed, hypnotic track, which is easy to listen to hundreds of times in a row!
Don’t be surprised to play this and find out that the night has dissolved and the sun is already up and shining. Magnetie delivers an exotic, hypnotic and lush landscape vision, of what creativity and pure listening pleasure means in electronic music. Thereby releasing groundbreaking mixes and productions that are continually exquisite, solid pieces of work!
