MUMBAI: Enigmatic producer, The Magician, has delivered his brand new production, Build A Fire, a collaborative effort with Chicago duo Clew and Prov, best known for their track ‘Tarzan’ on The Magician’s ‘Potion’ label.
Following Las Vegas and Love Break, Build a Fire is the third track to show a more mid tempo/urban pop production by The Magician. The producer (aka Stephen Fasano) brings us back to a more disco and funk-led beat which has stylised much of his previous work, with Chicago duo Clew and Prov providing the guitar plucks (Prov) and vocals (Clew).
“I’ve been working in a lot of different studios, exploring different genres of music with some incredible people,” added The Magician. “The result of which has reignited my passion to make music, and inspired me to share more love and emotions through it.”
