Pre-Order Chimes From Fairies to Fire here: bit.ly/FFTFpre
We love good EP titles at Firepower Records. Tell us a bit about the title of the EP, From Fairies to Fire.
Well the EP is very much a step in the direction of a heavier sound to what people know me for, so I wanted to refer to that in the title. I also think it represents my signature style as a producer – I love to put light and dark elements together into single tracks and so the EP is named in reference to Skrillex’s “Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites” that originally inspired this style.
When it comes to producing music, do you have any work habits that you think are unusual?
I work well very late at night but I’m not sure if that’s particularly abnormal. I’ve got a feeling most producers are night owls. I go into a bit of a mode when I’m working where I shut everything out to concentrate really hard and when I stop I suddenly become exhausted like I’m having a hangover or a comedown. I guess music is my equivalent of drug use?
If a movie was made about you and your life, what famous actor would you want to play you and why?
Maybe Nicholas Hoult? He plays Beast in X-Men. I think he’d do well portray some of the weird aspects about me and he’s suitably nerdy looking.
What’s your biggest pet Peeve, the biggest thing that annoys you and why?
A lot of things annoy me! I’m actually a pretty grumpy person it turns out, although I switch between moods very quickly (a bit like my music). I’d say some of my biggest annoyances would definitely be my internet cutting out or my computer running slowly. Anything that disrupts my workflow.
What track are you jamming out to the most right now?
It’s very difficult to pick just one. I guess my Lock And Load mix should basically sum up everything I love right now but if I had to choose one track it’d have to be “Saloon” by Fox Stevenson. The catchiest Dubstep track I’ve heard in a long time!

Download the free stems to Fox Stevenson‘s “High Five!” here: http://bit.ly/1BGykVx
In an act of artistic integrity, Fox Stevenson is giving away the stems to his internationally acclaimed banger “High Five!” in an effort to challenge his fans to engage with his music on a much deeper level. He spoke about that intention in a conversation with us earlier this week.
“I’m a firm believer that once an artist releases a track it no longer belongs to him or her, it belongs to the listener to make of it what they will,” Fox Stevenson told Firepower Records. “So that’s why I am releasing these stems to see what you guys can do with this track!”
To support Fox, Firepower Records will be putting out a call for the best re-creations of the the Stems and supporting them on social media in the near future. Stay on the lookout for an announcement very soon.
Last week, Fox premiered the Stems on the website Splice.com, and reaction was swift and immediate. He encouraged people to “feel free to play around” and to create their own remixes. Today marks the first time he has given away the stems for free downloads.

Fox Stevenson continues to rise into the upper echelon of the international bass music universe, and there’s no indication that he will stop soon. Earlier this month, he released a new music video for his internationally acclaimed hit “High Five!” which received a resounding round of support from MTV and VH1.
“High Five!” is a single off of Fox Stevenson’s Throwdown EP, which dropped in July of last year on Los Angeles based Bass Guru Datsik’s Firepower Records label. The video is directed by Justin Donnelly and depicts a day in the beachside paradise of sunny Los Angeles. From the boardwalk of Venice Beach to the wild nighttime backyard pool parties, the video will get you off the couch and packing your bags for the City of Angels—or at least get you dancing.

An unmitigated talent in his own right, Fox Stevenson’s power of Bass is seemingly endless. With a mastery of all facets of the production process, Fox Stevenson has developed a formula that allows him to produce both as a mainstream artist and as a filthy Bass music maker simultaneously. He grew up in an artistic environment and flourishes as a fearless performer on and off stage. He writes, sings, and mixes his own material in a live-act performance that incorporates multiple genres, creates a fun, upbeat and explosive sound, and pushes the limits of electronic music.

Preorder Fox Stevenson’s Throwdown EP Remixes on iTunes: http://bit.ly/1nZBCxS
LOS ANGELES (Ocotber 8th) When Firepower Record’s head honcho Datsik let it be known earlier this summer that Fox Stevenson’s Throwdown EP was his absolute favorite, the Dubstep world wondered what he had up his sleeve. When the Throwdown EP dropped in July, that wonder turned into a certainty that Firepower Records was in the business of representing the power of Bass in all its forms. An unmitigated talent in his own right, Fox Stevenson’s power of Bass was seemingly endless. With a mastery of all facets of the production process, Fox Stevenson has developed a formula that allows him to produce both as a mainstream artist and as a filthy Bass music maker simultaneously. He grew up in an artistic environment and flourishes as a fearless performer on and off stage. He writes, sings, and mixes his own material in a live-act performance that incorporates multiple genres, creates a fun, upbeat and explosive sound, and pushes the limits of electronic music. Datsik saw this and wasn’t going to let it slip through his fingers.
Three months after the release of the Throwdown EP some of bass music’s most respected producers including The Brig, Rob Gasser, ETC! ETC! & Tight Traxx, xKore, and Protohype, whose recent track “Zero” off of his Encore EP shot to the #1 spot on the Beatport Dubstep Chart when it was released, have signed on to remix one of the biggest bass music releases of the summer.
The Throwdown EP’s 5 tracks were originally each designed to ignite dance floors all over the planet. And they did! Shortly after its release, Throwdown hit multiple Beatport #1’s. The obvious question is: how do you make something this good stand out even more?
The track “High Five” get an insane wobble-ridden upgrade in the Throwdown Remixes EP. Rob Gasser takes the title track, “Throwdown”, to the stratosphere by adding a heavy Drumstep/Drum and Bass bassline and one of his signature synth top-lines. Gasser’s most impressive move, though, is his foresight in keeping the quality of Fox Stevenson’s vocals intact but rearranging them to fit his production philosophy. The result is an expertly arranged remix that sounds unique and original.
But it’s ETC! ETC! & Tight Traxx remix of “Double Up” that steals the show. With ETC! ETC!’s expertise in the Trap game and Tight Traxx existence in the more obscure realms of Flume-esque dance production, the resulting remix is a beautifully haunting rendition of an already aurally alluring track. Rounding out the EP is Xkore’s infectious and scorching Moombhaton hybrid version of “Manage” and Protohype’s take of “All In”. Diehard fans of Firepower’s early releases will recognize Xkore’s “take no prisoners” sound design philosophy and be pleased with the result, while those waiting on Protohype’s penchant for Festival Stage smashers won’t be disappointed either.
The tracklisting is:
1. Fox Stevenson – “High Five!” (The Brig Remix)
2. Fox Stevenson – “Throwdown” (Rob Gasser Remix)
3. Fox Stevenson – “Double up” (ETC! ETC! & Tight Traxx Remix)
4. Fox Stevenson – “Manage” (xKore Remix)
5. Fox Stevenson – “All In” (Protohype Remix)

LOS ANGELES (July 15th, 2014) Today marks the release of Fox Stevenson‘s highly anticipated Throwdown EP. With an onslaught of advanced praise from some of the most reputable Dance Music institutions in the business, Throwdown is set to be Fox Stevenson’s biggest release yet.
“I’ve been a huge supporter of Fox since I first heard his music,” Firepower’s label boss Datsik says. “I’ve had this release on repeat since he sent it over and I’m super excited to be able to bring you guys another amazing EP from him! IMHO this kid is the future!”
With a mastery of all facets of the production process, Fox Stevenson has developed a formula that allows him to produce both as a mainstream artist and as a filthy Bass music maker simultaneously. He grew up in an artistic environment and flourishes as a fearless performer on and off stage. He writes, sings, and mixes his own material in a live-act performance that incorporates multiple genres, creates a fun, upbeat and explosive sound, and pushes the limits of electronic music.
UKF has described Fox Stevenson as “a unique gentleman who has the ability to conjure up vocal tracks that are so fresh yet instantly distinctive,” adding, “whether it’s D&B, dubstep or his recent foray into 128 breakbeat-influenced tracks, the second you hear a Fox Stevenson track you KNOW it’s him.
Writing for The Music Ninja, Brooke Ferguson puts it simply: “Fox Stevenson continues to impress us all with his eclecticism in his productions; whether it be dark and heavy or cute and poppy, he knows how to infuse all aspects of music and make us all feel some type of way.”
Throwdown is a 5 track EP designed to ignite dance floors all over the planet. Period. But unlike mass-produced “Bangers” saturating the market, Fox Stevenson focuses on quality over quantity.
With the tracks “All In” and “Manage”, for example, the casual listener is immediately struck by the emotional pith and complex narrative structures. The title track, “Throwdown”, destroys the traditional concepts of electronic dance music by combining Fox Stevenson’s gift for songwriting with a classic Drum and Bass beat. “Double Up” satisfies any Dubstep cravings with heavy doses of brainsplitting buzzsaw synths, and “High Five!” reminds us why we listen to music in the first place.
The result is an EP that is an all-out face-melter you can scream to. Most dance songs suffer from a deficit of meaning, but Fox Stevenson channels the singer/songwriter’s of the past and provides a product that inspires both the body and the mind.
There, of course, no better way to experience this kind of talent than at a live event. Fox Stevenson will playing the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater on September 12th with Paper Diamond and Flux Pavilion.
The complete track listing for Throwdown is below:
1. Fox Stevenson – “High Five!”
2. Fox Stevenson – “Throwdown”
3. Fox Stevenson – “Double up”
4. Fox Stevenson – “Manage”
5. Fox Stevenson – “All In”
