Axel Boy & Henry Fong Showcase Bass-Infused Brilliance with New Single

At the vibrant intersection of bass-heavy dubstep and the infectious beats of house music, the collaborative efforts of Henry Fong and Axel Boy manifest in their new festival anthem “Down Like That.” Released through the Dim Mak label on October 13th, the track serves as a testament to the duo’s collective skill in curating a high-octane, heart-throbbing auditory experience.

At the core of “Down Like That” are the acute and edgy rave synths that deliciously meld with high-energy beats, simmering into an atmosphere brimming with charged intensity and bass-fueled power. The inclusion of simplistic rap vocals serves as an additional layer of spunk, truly making it a modern classic in the realm of rave anthems. This is the kind of music a rager crowd feels in their bones, commanding them to dance along with its irresistible rhythm. While the track is just over two minutes in length, it packs a punch and is easy to envision headlining any of the duo’s sets.

The song functions as an homage to their influences above all else. As a tribute to the UK club world, it encapsulates the genre without emulating it. The single maintains its own identity while punctuating the shrill stabs of synthesizers and sirens with cheers, reminiscent of Eurobeat. This can be attributed to the creative geniuses behind the song and their unique backgrounds and identities.

Axel Boy, the creative architect behind the track’s inception, aimed to craft a super-energetic main stage masterpiece. Henry Fong’s seamless addition of his distinctive touch to the collaboration resulted in a refined creation that lives up to its promise of being a festival sensation.

Me and Henry had been in touch through my Patreon and I instantly asked him if he wanted to work on a tune together to which he was very keen to do so! I sent him the idea for this & he ran with it- adding lots of attitude to the record- really polishing it off to create the infectiously euphoric & intense bass-driven banger “Down Like That”.
