California-based electronic artist Babsy. is kicking off 2025 with a bold return, dropping his first original single of the year, "Just Wanna," via San Holo's Bitbird imprint. Following a breakthrough year in 2024 that saw him remix Louis The Child, debut at Academy LA, and land spots on Spotify's Creamy, Metropolis, and Summer House 2024 playlists, Babsy. is now setting the tone for the new year with a fresh, genre-blending release.
"Just Wanna" showcases Babsy. 's evolving production style, merging UK Garage's groove-driven rhythms with House music's infectious energy. Anchored by a sultry topline vocal that confidently declares, "I just wanna take it off, u cool with that," the track is designed for late-night dancefloors and intimate club settings.
"I wanted to bring the worlds of UKG and House together while putting together a catchy yet edgy lyric. Production-wise, I made the beat rather quickly and knew a short, repetitive vocal would be an instant hook on the song. Jeanne Taylor (who I collaborated with many times in the past) put the vocal on it in a matter of minutes, and I'm thrilled about the final result!" Babsy. shares.
A rising force in electronic music, Babsy. has steadily built his reputation through high-profile playlist placements and radio features. His music has been highlighted on Apple Music's Electronic Pop and Breaking Dance playlists and airplay on numerous radio stations. In 2023, he experienced a viral moment when his TikTok-driven hit "Everywhere" racked up over 2 million views, propelling the track to 12.7 million streams on Spotify.
Beyond his club-ready productions, Babsy. finds inspiration in the natural world, particularly through his love of surfing. His music serves as both an escape and a form of connection, reflecting his commitment to mental health advocacy. He hopes his work provides listeners with a sense of comfort and reassurance, reminding them that they are never alone.
With "Just Wanna," Babsy. continues his mission to uplift while pushing sonic boundaries. As he steps into 2025 with this dynamic release, his fusion of UK Garage and House music further solidifies his place in the ever-evolving electronic landscape.
