Interview with Fox Stevenson

Published: Feb. 26, 2023, 3:43 a.m.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Fox Stevenson over Zoom video!

Fox Stevenson is one-part electronic music producer and one-part singer/songwriter. All parts assembled he\u2019s a true powerhouse of talent who\u2019s carved out his own unique sound that melds dance music with pop-punk flair. Fox kicks off his 2023 with his new nine-track \u2018Enemy Brain Entertainment Suite EP,\u2019 available now via Pilot Records.

Flowing melodies over bopping beats decry people who refuse to adhere to values or make a positive difference on the EP\u2019s final single, \u2018Deja Vu.\u2019 After straddling the fine line between dance music and pop-rock, \u2018Deja Vu\u2019 is unapologetically poppy and undeniably catchy.

\u201cI\u2019ve been excited about the idea of making stuff at an intersection between my favorite east coast hip hop groups like tribe called quest, and more hooky dance music, maybe throwing a little beck in there, ended up with a song about repetitive behavior,\u201d Fox says.

Unhindered by the constraints of a particular genre, Fox Stevenson (formerly \u201cStan SB\u201d) pushes against imposed limitations. Growing up in an artistic environment, with a musician, writer, and theater director for a father, Fox didn\u2019t need much prodding to explore art from the inside out. Laying down his tracks from scratch, he will also write and perform his own vocals. As a live musician, he is unafraid to pick up the guitar, drums, and bass, or mix a live DJ set on stage. The casual listener is immediately struck by the emotional pitch and complex narrative structures of his songs. Most dance song lyrics are throwaway, but Fox\u2019s tracks are genuine, space-creating oddities of a new generation. They are indebted to the old singer-songwriters of the past, while also challenging traditional expectations for beat-based, electronic music. In a world that often prefers we choose \u2018one or the other\u2019, Fox is one of the few willing to balance and create a free-flowing tri-force of dance, pop, and rock in his music.
