Boasting a raw, gritty vocal tone that’s incredibly charming and eclectic, KDX manages to paint a peculiar sonic picture, one that sees his gentle distortions and minimal hip-hop beats dominating the record. The result of such a process is ‘ULIE’, a track that sits on the fringe of alternative hip-hop, pushing the genre’s boundaries ever so slightly forward.
Hailing from Galway, KDX builds ‘ULIE’ with witty and ingenious musical contaminations; using a nostalgic, rock guitar sample, the Irish talent layers it with a punchier and vibrant bouncy beat, creating a stark sonic contrast that goes well with KDX’s screamy, chaotic vocals. Opposites attract, they say: it’s never been truer.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the ‘ULIE, he explains: “I had created the record randomly but after certain situations in my life it inspired me to continue to make the record an angry release, not being afraid of the emotion or addressing the intensity of false lies and false admiration”.
