Oxy, the innovative French artist behind the Misplaced EP, returns with a captivating exploration of sound that cements his place at the forefront of contemporary electronic music. Following the success of his debut Freequation earlier this year, Oxy—the workings of Auxane Cartigny—expands on his eclectic approach, drawing from his classical training and passion for blending jazz, electronica, dance, and classical influences.
His seamless fusion of complex rhythms and ambient textures pushes the boundaries of what electronic music can be, presenting a body of work that’s as intellectually stimulating as it is exhilarating.
At the heart of Misplaced lies 20411H, a track that exemplifies Oxy's expertise in building hypnotic, dance-driven soundscapes. The track opens with a throbbing pulse that evolves into an electrifying whirlwind of synths and beats, creating a truly euphoric atmosphere. With its entrancing, techno-driven rhythm, 20411H would feel right at home on the biggest dancefloors, while maintaining the artistic complexity that defines Oxy's unique style.
The EP's diverse range of tracks showcases Oxy's ability to traverse different sonic territories. From the smooth, ambient jazz-electronica fusion of Like U Used To to the high-energy intensity of 20411H, each composition is a dynamic expression of Oxy's artistic evolution. This collection of six tracks reveals his knack for intricate production and genre-defying exploration, balancing ambient textures with thumping beats that drive the body while stimulating the mind.
What makes Misplaced truly stand out is Oxy's fearless blending of genres, creating a space where classical influences meet modern electronica and dance. His deft manipulation of sound allows each track to transcend its individual elements, creating a cohesive body of work that’s both thought-provoking and energetically compelling.
With Misplaced, Oxy not only pushes the envelope of electronic music, but he also cements his position as one of the genre's most exciting and boundary-pushing artists. As his sonic journey continues to evolve, Oxy is unquestionably an artist to watch in 2025 and beyond.
