‘Balenciaga’, the dancehall and reggaeton song was co-produced by Banx & Ranx and Canadian-Dominican producer Real Mind, and it marks a return to the elements of Banx & Ranx’s distinctive ECM (Electronic Caribbean Music) sound. “Balenciaga” is slated to become the next bashment anthem and features vocals from Jamaican singers Konshens and Demarco, two legends of dancehall.
“Over the years we’ve experimented with many genres, but we’ve always loved playing with the balance of underground club, pop and Caribbean sounds. With ‘Balenciaga’, we’re getting back to that,” say Banx & Ranx. On teaming up with Konshens and Demarco, Banx & Ranx share that the collaboration came together organically. “Demarco loved what we did with Sean Paul on his new album, so he reached out about collaborating with us. He loved the beats we sent over and suggested we get Konshens on the track and of course we were down to bring his talent in on the song as well!”
Banx & Ranx have established themselves as two of Canada’s most productive composers and producers since since signed with Universal Music Canada earlier this year. They have consistently released new music over the past seven months, including three Top 10 singles (“CTRL + ALT + DEL” and “Headphones” with Rêve and “Flowers Need Rain” with Preston Pablo), have worked with the legendary Cirque de Soleil as musical directors of their show MV, and have organised a number of songwriting camps where they have produced, written, and collaborated with artists from all over the world.
