Dax – “Man I Used To Be”

Dax is an artist who has been releasing stunning and meaningful tracks, and his new single, titled “Man I Used To Be”, will stick in your head for weeks. The track was created with Nashville producer Jimmy Robbins, but more than just a collaboration, it feels like a checkpoint in Dax’s personal and creative journey.

What I really love is how much of himself Dax put into this release. He made the decision to go six months alcohol free before writing and recording again, and this song is the product of that clarity, knowing that backstory makes the song hit harder. It’s not just another release, it’s the first piece of music he’s made while sober, and that carries real meaning. This is not the first time we’ve written about Dax and covered his great music, it’s one of the best rappers we’ve featured on Beach House.

The timing also feels important, with his “Lonely Dirt Road Tour” coming up at the end of October, this single feels like the perfect way to set the tone for what’s ahead. It’s Dax at his most genuine, and if this is where he’s headed, it’s worth keeping an eye on. Make sure to follow Dax on social media so you don’t miss what he has lined up for the rest of 2025.
