Home to Jay Robinson’s hit “Nineteen81” and Wear Black EP, mau5trap boasts home to the producer’s newest.
Teaming up with Idris Elba to deliver an impressive house music feat, Jay Robinson’s “Know Yourself” is a powerful showcase of his finest talents. Fueled by a driving kick drum, tight hats, and siphoning bass, Robinson illuminates his undeniable tech-house mastery throughout his five-minute work. Enlisting none other than Idris Elba to complete the sinister song, the pair’s production and vocal dominion offer a robust narrative. Idris Elba’s motivating vocals juxtapose against a dark, fleeting bassline, as a strong sentiment of “What you need to do is know yourself/What you need to do is be you” reverberates powerfully.
“’Know Yourself’ is one of those records I never thought would make it past being a VIP in my sets. To see it getting a full release on mau5trap with a full feature from Idris Elba feels truly surreal!” – Jay Robinson
