A catalyst is something that causes activity between two or more persons or forces. This track is a shining example of what happens when young producers across the country have the opportunity to collaborate. With T&A Brigade on the keys, and the help of GrooveSapien and Beateaz, the first chords of Catalyst began to take form. Once the intro was finished, T&A Brigade headed back to New York, and the three producers continued working on the track within their own creative spaces, each building their own drops to fit their style. The result was something fierce and explosive, a true reaction caused by raw talent combining forces.
Sticking with the theme of working cross-country to gain new perspective and energy, the team reached out to Oregon native Theme Night to attack the remix. He responded with an enthusiastic electro-house banger that compliments the original style of "Catalyst", adding just the right amount of heat.
