Kawstic - Exit Reality

I'm from the northern Virginia/DC metro area, into all styles of EDM, and DJ'd a little on the side back in the day. I have always been interested in the production side. Here are just a few of my humble attempts as well as some demo mix sets. Currently using Reaper as my DAW of choice.

Deeper DNB is a UK-based drum and bass label focused on deep, minimal and tech-driven sounds. Established → 2019.

ZARINE (Dj Zarine) is one of the drum & bass DJs and producers whose work has brought considerable popularity to this style.
Starting his career in 97, he started promoting the Jump Up style in Russia. This always positive and open person still carries the culture of broken rhythms to the masses.

He received a classical music education. He studied conducting. He also plays guitar (played death metal, hardcore, techno death, was a session guitarist.) Sound engineer, worked with many well-known musicians, both foreign (Henry Rollins Band, Young Gods, Braut schlägt im Auge), and Russian, such as: the King and the Jester, Bricks, Torba-na-Kruche, Nom, TV, Calibri, Two Planes, Brigade row, Spitfire, and others.

His creative pseudonym, the female name ZARINE, owes his love for decadence, and the eponymous name of one of his projects-ZARINE (sarin) with the crossed-out letter " E " at the end. In 1996, after playing his first ever set at the CLEO club, he decided to keep the name.

The first single, "Drunk'n'Bazz Wize", was recorded in 1999 and released as a compilation album on a no-longer-existing foreign label. This was followed by releases - "Drunk n Bass" and "Art Core", "Eazy Drums" - released on the now-defunct KDK records

Later there were releases on "Dj Parade", "World of the Drum n bass" - Dj SS took the single "GO ON" recorded together with Liza K. Audio design of the magazine "SPB. RU". Release of the album "Leading the rats". Working with Goldie, Aphrodite.

To date, singles have been released on Italian, French, German, and English labels.

EP "Blind fury / Water party", "Ghost of the Rock n roll", "Atmos robotics", " May Be Vibes? (feat. PropheC)". Remixes of DnB monsters, Future Cut, Konflict, Posij, Ray Keith, Huge, Gridlock, Keaton, as well as Fugees, Eminem

Today, ZARINE is the owner of the "HS Recordings" label. He is a resident of the English radio resource MIXCLOUD, and enjoys the support of the Russian radio Record.

Greasy Monk (aka Ian King) is a Colorado native with a passion for music that extends far into the past, spanning a multitude of genres. With an approach and outlook that is characteristically unique, he brings to the table a deep curiosity to explore the depths of acoustic ecology. His familiarity with a wide spectrum of rhythm will gratify and satisfy ~ from ambient, downtempo, and minimal; reggae, breaks, dub, and drum&bass; house and progressive; to techno and trance – his selections are sure to captivate. As a musical drifter, he has a fluid and psychedelic style which is artfully tailored to each event.  His mixing is designed to move, groove, and provoke the listener to focus on and surrender to the soundscape. Entwining different combinations of deep and progressive composition with driving energy, he crafts his sets in a way that breaks down boundaries and gets your soul dancing.
