Continuing his 2021 hot streak, Austin-based DJ/producer Casual T returns to the forefront of emerging electronic talent with his new single “Intoxicated.”
A mesmerizing indie-electronic gem with distorted vocals and an emotional rhythm arrangement, the aptly-titled track is due for release Thursday, November 18.
Travis Drews is also no stranger when it comes to commanding a stage. A leading force in the Live Music Capital of The World, Austin-based artist Casual T is an electric labyrinth of sound and show. The rising producer/DJ’s passion for dance music was prompted by a near-death experience at a music festival.
In 2012, Drews was attending a festival that hosted legendary acts like Nero, Afrojack, and Dr. P when his lungs collapsed from the weight of the bass. Like alchemy, Drews turned tragedy into art, giving birth to his magnum opus- Casual T.
A charismatic figure both onstage and in the studio, Casual T distills characteristics of bass, pop, hip-hop, and electronica to forge his fluid signature sound. A proficient scratch DJ and teacher, Casual T is equal parts old-school and innovative.
Casual T has performed at events by the likes of Euphoria Music Festival, Waterloo Music Festival, ESPN’s X Games, along with various showcases across the Texas Hill Country. Celebrated by the likes of The Daily Texan, EARMILK, EDM.com, EDM Identity, The Sound You Need, and CLOUT Magazine, Casual T has captured the attention of music consumers and critics alike.
With celebrated projects across his discography ranging from his 2019 Lovers? EP and recent singles like “Transcendence,” “Requiem for the Real,” “Still Thinking of You,” “Hypnotized,” and an official remix for Daddy Nat and Abhi The Nomad, Casual T has a history of excellence embedded into his catalog.
“I had a lot of fun making Intoxicated. I wanted to capture the feeling of when you’re partying with friends and the drugs really slap you in the face. I also had a lot of fun with the vocals during the drop part. They switch back and forth between different vocal chains, which was inspired by Porter Robinson’s ‘Something Comforting’” – Casual T
