Moksi

Dutch production duo Moksi deliver bass-heavy electronic dance music inspired by late-’90s U.K. garage. The pair, Samir and Diego, met at a house party and joined forces to form the group, issuing their debut track, “Getting Higher,” which caught the attention of another Dutch duo, Yellow Claw. Moksi signed to their Barong Family label and released their first EP, Brace Yourself, in 2015. That same year, they landed their first live gig at Tomorrowland. Their sophomore EP, The Power of Moksi, quickly followed, and their third EP, The Majestic, arrived in 2016. Remixes for DJ Snake and Hardwell followed before Samir and Diego joined Barong labelmate Chace for a full collaborative EP. Along with the Shanghai DJ, they recorded Connections, which featured the single “Lucky” with singer Yade Lauren. Another EP, To the Sound/Legit, appeared in 2018 with Moksi’s full-length debut, The Return of House Music, arriving in 2019. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
