Hydraulix Combines Forces Nitti Gritti for “Waratah”

Ahead of debut album Imposter Syndrome out September 2021

Our favorite Australian bass and trap DJ/producer Hydraulix just dropped a major bomb. After eight years of consistent releases, he now has announced that his debut album Imposter Syndrome will arrive this September. In tandem with the album announcement, he also shared the LP’s lead single, “Waratah.” For this bass driven collaboration he teamed up with Latin GRAMMY-Award Winning producer Nitti Gritti.

With this collaboration Hydraulix and Nitti Gritti are going all in. “Waratah” is brimming with sharp musical twists and turns that boast prime elements from these producers respective styles. The ferocious cut opens with on an eerily peaceful note, shrouding the track behind a false sense of security. Before long, “Waratah” devolves into trap mayhem as sirens and heavily distorted bass announce the tone shift. This track takes a drastic turn at the drop when the over-the-top build up cuts out for a singular shrill synth commands center stage. The springing top melody pairs well with the sporadic and grandiose percussion, making for an unexpected experience that sets an impressive standard for the rest of Hydraulix’s full LP.

After a career spanning the better part of a decade, Hydraulix is ready for his biggest artistic venture yet with his forthcoming debut album. This album has a killer array of features, including Doctor P, G-REX, Afterthought, Oski, and more. Hydraulix’s long overdue debut soundtrack is sure to make massive waves for bass heads everywhere. “Waratah,” a one-of-a-kind trap offering that combines bombastic production with a minimalist flair, is available now across all streaming platforms.
