After Used managed to win over more and more souls in 2022, 2023 was the year to confirm for the Belgian drum and bass producer. A successful setup if you ask us. De Kempenaar performed again in the Boiler Room of Pukkelpop and was allowed to repeat the hosting of his own stage at Sunrise Festival, but also accompanied his role model Netsky on a foreign tour and treated De Casino in Sint-Niklaas to a strong headline show. It undoubtedly earned him a new horde of national and international fans. The most fanatical of these were invited yesterday to an exclusive club night at Club Capital in Antwerp’s Stadspark, which was baptized Used Wrapped. Only if you had Used in your Spotify Wrapped top five or were a member of the ‘users’ chat on Instagram, you could buy tickets for this celebration of the past year at a friendly price. And that wasn’t the only thing to celebrate…
The Belgian also drops a new track today, which has already been sung along by the die hard fans. This creation fits completely into his typical sound and evokes some nostalgic feelings, because Used returns to earlier work. After a few experiments with heavily distorted own lyrics and other vocalists, we clearly recognize the voice of the Kempen native, who was responsible for the better Used songs in the past. But it is not only vocally that the producer nods to the past: the beat and melody of “Limelight” refer, a little too strikingly to be a coincidence, to that of breakthrough hit “Mistakes” from 2019. In this way he returns somewhat to the good old days of just after his jump up period and at the end of the year he steps into the spotlight once again with a big banger, especially the catchy lyrics with the feathers may start to flow.
In the coming weeks you can spot Used on The Warmest Week in Bruges on December 22 and you can celebrate the new year together FCKNYE in Brussel.
