Who is uz trap music

It was really difficult to find places to hide. It was fun for years, but it slowly started to be more of a hassle for me. Maybe we have Future to thank for this reveal. It was the rapper's tune that first got him mimicking the reveal. Finally, I decided it was the perfect timing for the unveiling. What changes in a post-mask UZ world? I will do less shows, make more music, but more importantly, I will concentrate on developing my label Quality Good Records.

We've done greats thing in a year, and we have a lot to do and a lot of great music to release. First up? A new album from the unmasked man himself. Layers is out today on Quality Goods. It's 12 tracks opens with"Introspection," and follows with "Stockholm White," a tune Billboard Dance premiered in February featuring Two Fresh and Elliphant about daring to stand out in a mediocre world.

The mask, the black and gold stuff, the kind of dark and mysterious identity was great in the first four to five years; the music was the most important, and after that came the visual experience. Then in I decided to reveal myself—just because I felt like I needed to connect more with people as a person—and I wanted them to know my history too. I want people to look at me as a guy who has good taste in music and good taste in fashion.

We went in a totally different direction with the visuals on Trinity as well. We worked with a great graphic designer from LA called Cat Owens who did the whole album, the videos and symbol, et cetera, as well as Alex Crane , who did an amazing shoot.

Looking at trap music in the electronic scene over the past 10 years, how do you think it has changed and evolved? UZ: Originally, trap music was southern music. I feel like now I am the evolution of trap and rap. When I started, I was doing instrumentals with a little but more bass and punch—no drops and buildups—and after some years I was put into the EDM stuff, so my sound changed a little bit. I feel like the trap sound was simpler years ago.

In and it was really minimal and bass-heavy, with simple melodies and great energy. I feel like dubstep was too much, so people needed a little bit more simple stuff. Then came hybrid; the dubstep kids wanted that hard sound back, so the producers mixed everything together well.

So yeah, from it moved from minimalistic bass to now a more edgy, modern feel. Was that on purpose? Is this where you see trap music going in the future? Someone similar to me would be Troyboi.

What is the first thing you do? UZ: Melodies! I put Omnisphere on a track, for example, and I start with a melody, always. I never really wanted to reveal but I wanted to have more contact with people.

This was the perfect opportunity for me and also to see how the crowd would react. I first did it at the Belasco for the Quality Goods Records Tour without really telling anyone and the reaction was crazy. I started doing it at every show and people loved it every time, so after discussing with the team we decided to do the unveiling.

The time had come. What is going on dance music fans! We hope you are straight chillin as we go along into the weekend. We'd really love to
