As electronic music becomes one of the most explored genres of music in Puerto Rico’s independent art scene, more musicians are slowly creating full-length projects to deliver some sort of concept while others provide a vibe that serves as the perfect mood setter. Last year, multi-instrumentalist Javo Grant Bassat delivered a great album in the form of Elixir Beats, what he describes as a “[w]ork music playlist” but what could be used for a variety of moods. (album cover) As mentioned previously, Javo Grant Bassat’s Elixir Beats, though described as a “[w]ork music playlist,” can serve for various moods. As shown in the first few songs, “Sigue Mis Pasos,” “Segundo Aliento,” “La Nueva Casa” and “Remedio,” the project shifts from laid back and relaxing vibes, which will help audiences study and work, to more danceable and upbeat settings that will inevitably make listeners move their bodies. Meanwhile, a song like “Reset” might serve as a way for the audience to relax and stretch if they are dancing, working or even doing a hard workout. Finally, “Larga Espera” is yet another song that can create a variety of moods for the listener as it can be a bit danceable due to its beat, but might relaxing because of its guitar work. However, if there is one thing that is certain, is that the tune will keep one active in one way or another. As Puerto Rican musicians continue to explore electronic music, more artists are delivering full-length projects for a variety of reasons. While some might want to deliver some form of story, others want to deliver a form of mood or energy. With Elixir Beats, Javo Grant Bassat manages to provide an album that can serve for various moods be it relaxation, work, dancing or even exercising.
