QUIX Digs Deep on Emotional Single “Trying To Love” Feat. BJOERN
“Trying to Love” is the latest in a string of releases accounting for QUIX’s most prolific output to-date. He kicked off the summer with “Guiding Light,” featuring Sanna Martinez. The tension building single saw QUIX sonically experiment with light and dark, shifting sounds from silky verses to gargantuan drops. Shortly after, the seasoned producer dropped his highly anticipated collaboration with Adventure Club, “Life Long After Death (feat. badXchannels).” A masterclass in genre-blending sound design, the critically-acclaimed single landed in Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist (US and Global) and earned heavy media support. Alternative Press affirmed, “Solidifying smooth hooks between booming bass drops and slicing synth, the clashing of music worlds settles into a compelling Pangaea of collaboration.” Most recently, QUIX dropped a one-two punch with a powerful remix of The Bloody Beetroots’ iconic “Warp 1.9 (feat. Steve Aoki)” and a brand new original alongside Alison Wonderland dubbed “TIME.”
