Ookay Brings Back Festival Trap With His Proxima Nova EP
Producer and DJ Ookay returns to Dim Mak with an electrifying 4-track EP entitled Proxima Nova. Each track merges multiple styles of dance music, leaving surprises at every drop.
Ookay shares; “Proxima translates to “next” while Nova translates to “new”; a star showing a sudden large increase in brightness. I wanted this music to show what’s next and give bri as ghtness to my sound. It also pays homage to a font that has been used throughout the years and has established itself while still being reinvented which is a reflection of my career. Bringing a rebirth of everything that has established Ookay up till this point.”
“Move Ya Body,” the first track on the EP, is a bright Hybrid Bass tune, weaving Trap, Bass, and dancehall-style vocals into a dynamic arrangement . Next up on the EP is the single released in July, “Speakers Knockin”. Packed with retro flavor and underground energy, this track offers a bouncy UKG / Bass House sound that’s powered by funky keyboard stabs and complextro-inspired rhythms.
The third track, “All I Ever Wanted”, is a Festival Trap heater laced with soulful vocals, bouncy jersey club drums, and gritty low-end synths. Its soaring vocal lines and percussive drive make it an undeniable crowd-pleaser.Closing out Proxima Nova, “Lose Control” contrasts light, airy vocals with a sudden plunge into a heavy, snappy bassline. The textured production and sharp sound design leave a lasting impact long after the final drop.
From start to finish, Proxima Nova delivers Ookay’s forward-thinking production in a way that speaks to fans across the electronic spectrum. Check out more music news here.
