If midnight ever learned to dance, it would sound like this. Mojo X slides in with “Baby What You Done?“, the first slice of a three-part story that feels equal parts swagger, soul, and smoke.
There’s a certain kind of funk that doesn’t rush to impress — it just exists, comfortably cool, like it knows you’ll catch on eventually. That’s “Baby What You Done?“. Built on a groove that struts rather than sprints, it lives in the sweet spot between Fela Kuti’s hypnotic pulse and Gorillaz’ sly weirdness. The result? A laid-back, sun-drenched vibe that manages to feel both fresh and strangely nostalgic — like hearing a lost tune you swear you already loved.
Mojo X frames the track as the first act of a Bonnie & Clyde-style tale: two lovers tangled in trouble, trying to outrun consequence on the back of a bassline. There’s mischief in the air — the kind of slow-burn drama that could play over a neon-lit scene in some stylish indie film. Every beat feels like a sideways glance, every hook like a half-smile you shouldn’t trust but do anyway.
It feels alive — unhurried yet brimming with intent. The bluesy vocals, smoky in tone and full of subtle grit, float over production that fuses old-school funk and modern polish. It’s as if the track was built for golden-hour listening — the kind that turns an ordinary Thursday into something cinematic. And just as you start to sink into it, that chorus lands and you can’t help but grin: Baby… what did you do?
About Mojo X:
Brighton-based Mojo X is the sort of producer who clearly enjoys living in the grooves between genres. His blend of funk, blues, and electronic textures isn’t just a sound — it’s a world. With “Baby What You Done?” opening his three-part story trilogy, he’s setting up something bold: a cinematic journey told through rhythm and mood rather than plot. If this first taste is anything to go by, the next two chapters are going to be impossible to ignore.
