FLEXXIN' by Frenquency X Nangdo
Frenquency's and Nangdo's collab Ep - FLEXXIN' brings a warm synthetic, thick halftime and Juke rhythms vibe!
When Frenquency and Nangdo spent a week in Nangdo's studio in Berlin, the good and sunny spring vibes inspired their musical collaboration. FLEXXIN’ brings out warm synthetic, thick half-time and Juke rhythms and some chopped R&B vox styles: Both the tunes, FLEXXIN' & Let Go have moments that will hype you up to dance as well as more chilled parts that give you a second to catch your breath. These joints are a perfect confluence of both their signature sounds and love for Hip-Hop & 160 bpm flavor.
Both the tracks in the EP are a mix of influences of (Leftfield) Bass, Hiphop, Halftime, Juke, Footwork, Jersey Club and Ghettohouse. Crafted with subs, warm pads and some pretty, dreamy synths from Nangdo’s collection were used too for the production, as well as his Maschine device.
FLEXXIN' symbolises the moment when you feel like your true self is revealed to yourself as you’re vibing in a club or at a festival or in the spring sun. It’s the feeling of being content with yourself and shining aka "FLEXXIN'"
Let Go is a tune to let yourself go to, let go of the bad vibes and let in the good vibes. A feel good tune that gives you energy and has that perfect mix of futuristic waves of R&B with its female vocals, mixed with hints of Juke and Jersey Club on a warm bed of sunny and warm melodies.
