Fred V & Grafix - Oxygen (Track By Track) [Part 2]

Fred V & Grafix talk about each track off their 2nd album "Oxygen" (part 2/3)

Fred V & Grafix bring a breath of fresh air with their long-awaited second album ‘Oxygen’. The 15-track venture strips away any uniformity, opening up into dreamy, synthesized waves of drum & bass, elements of elegant electro-pop, down-tempo beats, unsuspecting instrumentation and everything in between.

Their progression is clear from the off, the gorgeous ‘Ignite’ details infectious guitar and heartfelt harmonies from Fred V himself and their newest top-line finding, Amy J Pryce. She also appears on vocal led tracks ‘Altitude’ and ‘Electrify’ that push the pair even further into songwriter territory. They’ve spent months working with close friend Tudor Davies - whose vocal leads on romantic slow-mover ‘One Of A Kind’ - to create expressive, honest lyrics and enticing melodies throughout the LP.

Fred V & Grafix’s soundtrack style stands up tall in ‘Nearly There’ and ‘Our Story’ adding a surprise collaboration with Bloc Party front-man Kele to the mix. Both tracks encapsulate the epic, ‘hands in the air’ euphoria that Fred V & Grafix deliver to devoted crowds worldwide. Their drum & bass dancefloor roots remain strong with tracks ‘Stay Here’ and ‘Together We’re Lost’ picking up the pace.

In the debut album 'Recognise' we got a taste for their skills as live musicians. In take two we get even more from Grafix guitars, to drums, keys and Fred V’s own vocals, every element is faultlessly infused with title track ‘Oxygen’ as the perfect example.

Love the vibes in your music. It's been my dream to make uplifting drum and bass even as a hobby but things keep getting in the way. My plan was to get pro logic and buy a Mac book pro but I can't afford it. Messed around on FL studios on my iPad but it's hard getting the music in my head on to my iPad. I have no music background but I can come up with amazing songs in my head. I kinda wanna be the hospital records cat. Work for free and learn there. Sleep under someone's desk at night. . I feel like that's the only way I'll turn my life around and do what I want to do.
I went off on one... I could have sent this into the podcast to be read out... Missed opportunity. P.S Tony I like your talking over the music. The rare time I don't like a song it lets everyone know it's a podcast and not my playlist ;)

"it's kind of like coldplay-inspired. I know that's not very cool to say but fuck it. "

[BatmanHQYT]

"Vista is the only non drum & bass track" lmfao right after talking about Oxygen which is so blatantly future bass, and Nearly There which is so blatantly synthpop. Good job!
