One name on the credit line and a vocal hook that nobody gets billed for. The last time ryscu turned up on Proximity he was splitting Elastic three ways with Veronica Bravo and Chenda. BOYS is him alone, top to bottom, and it has the single-minded feel that comes with that.
The low end is the grimy sort, more sneer than sub, and it does not politely step aside when the vocal comes in. The two sit right on top of each other. I braced for the hook to get shoved into the intro and then buried the second the drop landed, which is how most producers working this heavy treat a topline. It stays. That is the trick, and it is what makes this a rail record rather than a headphone one.
ryscu is Australian and he barely releases, which makes each one land like a decision. Our page on him is thin for exactly that reason.
He picked a hard thing to pull off. Bass this rude usually forces a choice between the growl and the melody, and BOYS makes a decent case that you can keep both if you let them fight it out.
