XIMERMJ is an artist who has always marched to the beat of their own drum, and their latest offering, ‘Virulence’, is no exception. In a landscape often dominated by carefully curated sounds, XIMERMJ continues to carve a fiercely independent path, delivering a track that defies easy categorisation.
Digging into his new single, XIMERMJ noted, "I think with being independent makes it more fun and hectic… releasing songs you believe and trust, and it’s sad to watch it go.” It’s a feeling a lot of artists can surely relate to, and in true form, ‘Virulence’ cuts through the haze, adding weight to those echoing words of fun and hectic. Built around an untamed spirit, ‘Virulence’ feels less like a polished and heavily commercial product and more like a raw outpouring of digital ingenuity.
From its opening moments, ‘Virulence’ plunges you into a maelstrom of sound. A burst of glitching static immediately sets the tone, quickly joined by stepped, hollow beats that feel both grounded and disorienting. Scaled tones flicker and fold, oscillating between moments of steady, almost atmospheric calm and an onslaught of erratic audio samples. It’s a track that embraces chaos, layering sound upon sound until the mix becomes a whirlwind of competing, yet strangely compelling, elements.
This isn’t your typical radio-friendly fare; the production is daring, often unpredictable, and veers into areas that many artists would shy away from. It's a journey through sonic dissonance, where conventional notions of melody and rhythm are playfully subverted.
At just over two minutes, ‘Virulence’ is a brief, intense experience. It’s a sweeping, glitching, and stumbling digital maelstrom, leaving a lasting impression long after the final note fades. It’s a fleeting glimpse into a unique creative mind, one that isn’t afraid to challenge listeners and explore the outer reaches of electronic music.
‘Virulence’ is a bold statement from XIMERMJ. It's a compelling, sometimes confronting listen for those who crave originality and are willing to embrace the unconventional. This track isn't about fitting in; it's about standing out and doing something that goes against the grain.
