Fox Stevenson mostly makes, according to his SoundCloud page, "hyper melodic drum and bass, dubstep and breaky stuff" since 2008. Most of his vocals are performed by himself. His music sits somewhere between being a club-centric music producer and heartfelt singer-songwriter. Working outside the constraints of genre, he uses influences beyond dance music often tapping into his pop-punk upbringing. The results are songs that bridge different styles of music without truly embodying one genre or the other.
Stevenson's interest in electronic music production began in the early 2000s, when he made his first release on the website Newgrounds. He was 15–16 years old when he created his first vocal track. He later rose to prominence through the YouTube-based music community and nowadays an influential drum and bass label Liquicity, where "Cloudhead", one of his earliest tracks as Stan SB, was featured.
In 2014, he announced the launch of his own record label, Cloudhead Records, under which he released an EP titled All This Time in the same year.
His debut album, Killjoy, was released on 18 October 2019.
He also performed live band sets with fellow artist Bustre when he was still active.
Trigger
Fox Stevenson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't catch your drift
More death than legs on a millipede
And you call it a gift
I've been waiting for so long
Waiting to hold on
Cause twenty-million miles will never hold me down
Forget about choices just get to it
Blame it on the voices that told you to do it
You got a revolver and some bullets
Reach for the trigger and pull it
Reach for the trigger and pull it
Reach for the trigger and pull it
Forget about choices just get to it
Blame it on the voices that told you to do it
You got a revolver and some bullets
Reach for the trigger and pull it
Reach for the trigger and pull it
Hold up just stop for a minute please
I didn't catch your drift
More death than legs on a millipede
And you call it a gift
I've been waiting for so long
Waiting to hold on
So keep your ears to the ground
Cause twenty-million miles will never hold me down
Forget about choices just get to it
Blame it on the voices that told you to do it
You got a revolver and some bullets
Reach for the trigger and pull it
The lyrics to Fox Stevenson's song "Trigger" delve into themes of powerlessness, waiting, and the urge to take action. The singer of the song is trying to understand someone else's perspective and approach to life, but they can't seem to grasp it ("I didn't catch your drift"). The metaphor of "more death than legs on a millipede" represents the overwhelming sense of loss and pain that this someone else seems to be content with ("And you call it a gift").
The singer then turns inward, admitting that they've been waiting for something for a long time, perhaps a sense of purpose or control ("Waiting to hold on"). The line "So keep your ears to the ground / cause twenty-million miles will never hold me down" suggests that the singer is determined to make a change and won't let anything stand in their way.
The repetition of the lines "Forget about choices just get to it / Blame it on the voices that told you to do it / You got a revolver and some bullets / Reach for the trigger and pull it" highlight the singer's frustration with indecision and hesitation. The metaphor of a revolver and bullets suggests a willingness to take drastic and irreversible action, with the voices representing either inner demons or outside influences. The repeated urging to "reach for the trigger and pull it" is a call to action, a metaphor for taking control of one's own life and choices.

I listened to this the first time over 6 years ago and now listened to it for the first time in a long while. I can safely say Fox Stevenson is one of the few artists that has made dubstep I never get tired off. Very rare.

He makes more dnb than dubstep, but yeah, his dubstep that he does make is amazing too
