Finding fame through his community-driven DJ mixes, LA-based producer ÿetep made his Monstercat debut today, joining forces with melodic bass duo Caslow for their uplifting new single, “First Place.”
Featuring vocals from singer-songwriter Lexi Scantea, the emotive record is a distinctive blend of vibrant dance-pop melodies and lush future bass harmonies. The vocoded vocal chops, thumping drums, and powerful chords, surround listeners in a sensation similar to the energy felt at a crowded festival. With its emotional overtones and compelling lyricism, “First Place” is a relatable lesson in self-worth.
ÿetep shares, “So happy to have worked on “First Place” with Caslow and Lexi Scatena and to finally release on Monstercat for the first time. The emotions Lexi was able to convey in her words resonated with me so much and made the production process with Caslow that much easier.”
Lexi Scantena also comments, “After a year of working on myself and being with somebody who treats me with respect, kindness, and genuine love, it’s cool to listen to “First Place” now and reflect. I cannot wait for the world to hear it!”
