"Chase The Vibe" with Defunk Ahead of His New EP

Defunk brings the old-school wobble back and teases his forthcoming EP with “Chase The Vibe” on Westwood Recordings.

Following the release of “Sacrifice,” an electrifying collaboration with ero808, Defunk calls back to familiar sounds with a new wub-filled single, “Chase The Vibe,” off his forthcoming DIMENSIONS EP. The DJ and producer forges new soundscapes while creating a sound reminiscent of classic ones, and thus is renowned for his eclectic fusion of funk, groove, soul, and bass music. Officially due out on October 14 via Westwood Recordings, this bold and bouncy tune exemplifies Defunk’s genre-bending expertise – and we’ve got an exclusive listen to it today!

“Chase The Vibe” is a taste of Defunk’s sonic mastery to come. The track kicks off with a funky instrumental croon, soulful vocal chops, and a relentless clash of percussive elements. As the bass slips in and the energy intensifies, an exciting build-up climbs before nosediving into a juicy display of punchy croaks and irresistible wonk. Equal parts groovy as it is heavy, “Chase The Vibe” is a rambunctious ride from start to finish with its dazzling blend of inventive and vintage soundscapes.

I first was introduced to electronic music in the age of Flux Pavilion, Doctor P, Skrillex, etc. That time was full of sawtooth sounds and wobbles, and I really wanted to make a throwback track to honor that classic sound. “Chase The Vibe” is that throwback track, trying to “chase the vibe” those songs in the early days gave me.
