- Ten years on, Mosca turns his UK garage smash—and its unforgettable melody—into a Baltimore club stomper.
- "Bax" might be Mosca's defining hit, even if it sounds like almost nothing else he's done. It's accidentally perfect, a garage throwback with a dead simple but unforgettable organ bassline that feels so timeless and ingrained in our collective memory that it's hard to believe it was only written in 2011.
Now Mosca is celebrating ten years of his beloved Frankenstein's monster with a gutsy rework that shifts its attention from West London to Baltimore, featuring a classic Big Ria sample over a typically staggered Baltimore club beat. Like the original, it's basic but effective (that organ would sound good over anything). What's most intriguing about it are the slow, almost mournful strings that appear halfway through, adding new emotional depth to a tune that so many ravers know like the back of their hand.
Did we need a Baltimore club remix of "Bax" after so many other iterations and versions over the years? The answer is up in the air, but it's a welcome surprise anyway, stitching the past and the contemporary together in the same way that "Bax" did so impressively back in 2011.
