Marc Benjamin teams up with Taiwanese newcomer RayRay for their sultry, hard-hitting track “My Swag,” out on Protocol. The track ventures into new territory for Marc Benjamin, delivering a fusion of electro/EDM style and serrating trap basslines. Featuring RayRay’s own vocals, this club-friendly sinister tune packs a punch of attitude with its serrating synths and driving bass. Although winter is upon us in many parts of the world, look no further than “My Swag” to heat things up. This is the second collaboration between Marc and RayRay (who has also released on Barong Family and Dim Mak) that follows Benjamin’s previous Protocol release “Show You” from this summer, “Off Road” from Showtek’s Skink label and Spinnin’ Records‘ “Pop N Rewind.”
Nicky Romero and the Protocol crew can always be counted on for cutting-edge new music, melding a variety of genres for exciting and unexpected sounds. Their new additions feel right at home with that mantra, bringing a medley of trap, future bass, and electro house to the imprint’s already robust mix while still pumping out plenty of classic progressive jams. Veteran producer Marc Benjamin has a reputable taste for impeccable productions, evidenced in his past successes with his previous collaborations with heavyweights Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, and Yves V, and his remixes of Zedd’s worldwide hits “The Middle” and “Happy Now.” He’s performed around the world, including Ultra Bali and a 5-year residency at Amsterdam’s club Escape, and released on Spinnin’ Records and Steve Angello’s Size Records. Benjamin’s dynamic productions have piqued the attention of industry heavyweights like Tiesto, Zedd, Martin Garrix, Steve Angello and Avicii. We can’t wait to see what comes next from the Protocol family!
