The Australian producer makes his debut on NGHTMRE and SLANDER’s label with a rallying cry, taking the form of his expertly crafted experimental trap anthem.
Just A Gent is a prized narrator, an Australian producer who speaks to the hearts and minds of crowds around the world via his unrivaled versatility and sonic storytelling. His sound explores a myriad of genres from trap to house, future bass, drum & bass, dubstep, techno, and all the way back around. Making his debut on NGHTMRE and SLANDER’s esteemed Gud Vibrations label comes the menacing, cinematic trap monster, “WTFU.”
A cautionary tale about being stuck in a state of slumber, “WTFU” is an experimental trap warning sign showcasing his command over the use of space and sound design. Muted horns, beastly distant cries, and razor-sharp hi-hats craft an ominous introduction. The assertive namesake vocals act as a rallying cry, welcoming listeners into the belly of the beast. Guttural synth pulses, dark violin flourishes, squeaky shrills, ghostly pads, and an array of eye-opening textures collide with brutish bass to awaken the masses. Precision percussion drives the track forward with snappy snares, thick kicks, and crisp open hats, following that true trap tradition. “WTFU” is dark, filthy, and aggressive in all the right ways.
Simply put, Just A Gent relays the message behind his new low-end concoction, saying, “It’s time to wake the f**k up.”
