Mostrixx’s newest release, and his first for Glitterbeat Records, is a 6-song EP entitled “Transitions” (a full album will follow in spring 2023). The EP creates a seamless bond of traditional music and chants with electronic textures. It is a fluid (and at times edgy) afrofuturist sway of regional beats and moods, and ultimately a reflection on how beauty arises when differences are respected and appreciated – and how by doing so, fresh futures emerge.
The EP features Ugandan traditional folk singer and multi -instrumentalist Giovanni Kiyingi as well as a deep tapestry of ear catching samples and innovative programming. Faizal cites Black Coffee, Daft Punk, Timbaland, Diplo, CloZee, Wizkid, and Boddhi Sativaas as his production heroes and told Stamp the Wax this about his creative process:
“My journey into producing is a search to find own identity. As a versatile dancer I have always experimented and explored musicality with various genres for choreography, dance workshops and audio-visual. So when I first discovered production I saw an opportunity to showcase and share yet another African story… Creation is very rewarding for me and that makes me not wanna hold back on those afrofuturist beats.”
