LISTEN: Reddi Rocket’s ‘Lift Off’
How fitting that the first single from Reddi Rocket’s debut record KiD is entitled ‘Lift Off’? The punny reference to his chosen stage name aside, the track is a statement; Jimmy’s (as he is known to friends) long-gestating talent over the past couple of years has finally fully decanted into an album, and this track announces his readiness to take off as a full-fledged musician. Paying respect to “the past” (as referenced in Akhyla’s official press statement), ‘Lift Off’ flies in a trajectory leading to the future of bass music in all its broad appeal glory – think the maximalist approach of HudMo, Flume’s tender pop leanings, and even a touch of the LA beat scene. What a way to begin 2016.
