MUSŌKAMI comes back with yet another genre-splintering statement, this time in the form of a UKG Remix for “SHOOTING STARS – BAG RAIDERS |UKG REMIX|,” which offers both a respect to the past and an all-defiance innovation. This is a style tribute to the golden era of UKG and the producers that influenced its sound, from an artist who is growing with each release.
The track draws you into a dreamy realm where silky R&B vox swoon effortlessly over dark, jazzy UKG beats. There’s an outstanding balance of memories and freshness. Each beat and melody feels incredibly deliberate, a labor of love driven by MUSŌKAMI’s reverence for the genre and his technical capabilities as a producer, vocalist, and post-production designer.
“SHOOTING STARS – BAG RAIDERS |UKG REMIX|” encapsulates the sense of reinvention that is so integral to the UK garage movement itself. The narrative is a bridge between smoky dance floors of the past and the slick, digital realms coursing through today’s underground.
Inspired by ’90s house and R&B music, gaming soundtracks, and the raw frequencies driving 140bpm underground bass music, MUSŌKAMI brings his array of influences together in a unifying way, combining a certain memory with a futuristic touch. It’s a remix that respects the past while making it his own, and proof that you can combine memory and invention wonderfully on the dance floor.
