Joel Hills, known by his stage name Agent Of Kaos is a feat of artistry, a Denver-based producer and DJ who thrives on defying conventions. With an unstoppable 13k monthly listeners ascending on Spotify, this free-form electronic innovator is composing a space for himself. From DJing on and off the East Coast to establishing Church Of Us Records, a record label of his design, AOK has been on a relentless quest to push borders. His last release, "Fire Is Dangerous A DnB PSA," is, in a way, an ode to that idea: an energetic, mixing-manifest funk-based record accurately idiosyncratic of rock and funk genres intertwined together, displaying all of his technical genius with humor.
The track "Fire Is Dangerous A DnB PSA" is a sneaky, exhilarating trip through AOK's signature sound; a fusion of drum and bass, half-step breakdowns, and a peculiar mix of sound. This track features Smokey The Bear delivering playful jingles, just what the audience ordered for a track that is a cocktail of splendid engineering and joyousness. Layers that explode with beats ingeniously decorated with wobbling bass lines and dynamic breaks keep the listener on the edge of their seat.
Half-steps provide a tiny bit of air before plunging right back into the relentless energy of the main groove, making it so compelling to keep a hold of the listener from start to finish.
The artist calls it “an absolutely authentic piece of my musically” and that honesty exudes through the track. It's not just a dancefloor banger; it's a representation of AOK being playful in his musical approach.
AOK's story is just as rapturous as his music. After 14 years of DJing under a different name, in 2022, he created the Agent Of Kaos project, focusing purely on production for a year and a half. It was that deliberate decision that allowed him to refine his sound while building a final strong front before taking his music live. The result has been a collection of works that marries harmony with adventure, of which “Fire Is Dangerous” is the shining epitome of the status of his evolution. Through Church Of Us Records, he is providing up-and-coming artists with a platform to share their talents amid the tsunami of new releases in the industry.
Beyond its buoyant energy and easy-going charm, "Fire Is Dangerous" is the perfect balm for a winter dance in your living room or completely stomping out the music at a live show. Be sure to check out and stream "Fire Is Dangerous" now with Agent Of Kaos's exuberant creativity. Crank it up, let it go, and allow AOK to take you into a wacky electronic ambiance.
