Many of us turn to Motez for party playlists or vibey Instagram stories. The South Australian music producer and DJ is renowned for creating bass-laden, electronic tracks that can best be described as dancefloor fillers, while his name often headlines festivals across Australia. But 2020 has seen Motez subvert his usual style. This month, he’s teamed up with The Kraken Black Spiced Rum to produce an ocean-inspired track that’s darker and more mysterious than his usual sound, but no less alluring. It’s to celebrate the brand’s new limited-edition rum ‘The Unknown Deep’.
