Interview + Tracklist: nesthq.com/hex-cougar-interview-minimix

You may know @hex-cougar from the wide array of future-driven sounds he's brought to labels like Shifty Rhythms and Daruma. The LA-based artist and classically trained pianist has brought to the SoundCloud community a veritable breath of fresh electro-tinged air. Remixes for artists like Sia and Louis The Child as well as features on tracks with graves, ROSE⌘GOLD, and Tides all have that electrifying monsoon-of-sound signature. My favorite release is his remix of Gesaffelstein's "Hellifornia." In fact, it's so good that I initially thought Gesa did a VIP of his own track before I saw it was a Hex remix. Needless to say I was hooked from that point on.

His sound goes beyond the generic "future bass" style. Even though it certainly vacations in that world, there is a massive difference between what most future bass newcomers do and what Hex creates. His rhythms are tighter and more dynamic than most, melodies align like ducks trotting to a pond. His sound design lives in both the colloquial and adventurous. It's the kind of music you'd want to hear live at a Brownies & Lemonade show, DoLab stage, or soundtracking one of those insane GoPro videos from those adrenaline junky lunatics.

We talked with Hex about his upbringing, recent run in with Bassnectar, and his favorite obscure facts. Give his MiniMix a listen and dive into the conversation.
