About a year and a half ago, a single comment changed everything for the Texan producer Goxan. The then-19-year-old had already been making beats on and off for more than a year without much traction. Naturally, he did what any enterprising producer would do: he started putting type beats up on YouTube.⁠ ⁠ “I was like, Damn bro. I hope this beat channel go crazy," he tells The FADER in our latest #BeatConstruction interview. "Boom, [Lazer Dim 700] commented. Shit started taking off.”⁠ ⁠ Among the coterie of producers defining and refining the enormous 808s and warped melodies of dark plugg — tdf, boolymon, perc40 — you might consider Goxan part of the scene’s second generation. ⁠ ⁠ At the link in bio, _goxan talks the evolution of his sound, what his parents think of Lazer Dim’s music, and his plans and goals for 2025.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Courtesy of Goxan
