Xotix Blast Off With Blistering Multi-Genre EP, “Best Coast”

We suspect the 2018 version of Xotix would be proud of where this ascendant duo stands today. 

It was less than a handful of years ago that Xotix attended Enchanted Forest and planted the seeds for what is a memorable festival act in the making. This year, the duo are fully immersed in the circuit, performing to crowds at Wobbleland and Lightning in a Bottle with many more stops to come, including a landmark performance at Excision’s Lost Lands.

Topping it all off is the surging bass music tandem’s brand new Best Coast EP, a four-track offering that makes for the perfect introduction to the duo’s eclectic brand of bass.

A cursory search through Xotix’s discography paints a picture of a duo who are rapidly coming into their own, and is showing an eagerness to explore their newly carved creative lane from all angles. After cutting their teeth with multiple dynamic EP releases in 2021, Xotix have now returned with a smash for their first EP of the year.

Xotix blast off with “Infested,” a multi-genre infused opener which weaves through a complex series of trap, glitch and dubstep-inspired sonics, a timely reminder of the duo’s versatility. After the statement-making intro, “Underground” and the titular “Best Coast” escalate the energy even further with a fierce combination of piercing synth hits and grinding, distorted basslines. 

The EP closes with Xotix putting a pep in the step of “Bring It Back,” an effort that tracks more closely to the duo’s hip-hop sensibilities where slippery basslines filter between the track’s rhythmic vocal samples.
