This week, Crimson Child sat down to chat for the EDM Prodcast.

Yashar aka Crimson Child is an experimental bass music producer who has garnered the attention of industry staples in the past few years.

His recent LP, Eleventh Hour, came out on Space Yacht this year, and in this interview, we dive into the process behind it and how he had most of the album done before it was even signed to a label.

The sound design in the album is a particular highlight, so we cover some of his go-to techniques for achieving a gritty, cinematic feel in electronic music.

We also talk about his future plans, including focusing on a potential techno alias and how working in different genres can help your creative process.

Time for another track, this time a little bit of something a little personal…

Some of you may / may not know I am graduating high school this year. Yep. This month. So yeah, I’m a little upset I’ll have to leave school pretty soon, but I decided to create my last track for eSports Club with a bang. There’s a lot going on here, whether it’s the atmospheric melodies, classic trance synths, or even the return of my color trance sounds. I’m really proud of this track, and I’m gonna end the description of this track here because, as with a lot of my other songs I’ve produced recently, I’m gonna let the music do the talking.

Before I go, though, I’d like to thank everyone at my eSports Club if they’re reading this. Not only were you guys amazing at Rocket League and Valorant, but you guys were amazing overall. You guys were amazing friends, you helped me find confidence in speaking publicly on the streams or beyond, and I’m forever grateful of all the memories that we have had together, either during the broadcast or off. I will cherish these moments forever, and I wish all the best for you guys because seriously; you guys are amazing. Thank you so much for everything, I love you all.

Alright, hope you guys enjoy this one! It’s time for a “Reawakening”!
