Based out of Portland, Oregan, the producer and multi-instrumentalist Devin Kroes has spent the last six years and counting tapping into a variety of psybient styles across a choice collection of tracks. Ahead of his Breathe EP release through the Danktronics platform, the Rust was given the opportunity to premiere the effusive track “Bloom”, featuring the soul-drenched sax lines of ST4RFOX.

Wielding a pristine level of clarity and tonal balance, Kroes dances between lush vocal samples and vibrant layers of synthesis. Each passing phrase paints the next hue across the landscape of the song, building on additive arrangements and fleshing out the literal breath of the track. At high point of the musical narrative, ST4RFOX breaks into a spirited saxophone run that ties off “Bloom” with a proper resolution, leaving the track to fade out between ripples of waning chords. For fans of full-spectrum sound design and organic compositions, make sure you grab the full copy of Devin Kroes' Breathe EP when it drops on April 23 on all available platforms.

"Fills EP is an album of jazzy, glitchy downtempo meant to channel the peculiar and beautiful experience of life through the medium of electronic music.

With Fills EP, I further and more deeply explore the idea of the artist as alchemist. From the first foley sample to the final glimmering glaze of glitchiness, layer upon layer of audio, midi, and all manner of percussive potpourri are brought forth from the vast and mysterious higher realm known as my sound library and meticulously manipulated like sound-paint until a brand new piece emerges which can be thought of as the embodiment of novelty, art that surprises even its creator. I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of helping these tracks create themselves, and I hope you enjoy them!" - Sam Andrus (5AM)
