LionX, Damn Dan & Chris Ponate - Modern Poetry [Heirēs Remix]

EDM Foundations → https://edmprod.com/edm-foundations

Duskus is a UK-born-and-raised producer who is currently between the US and UK. He is known for his experimental and futuristic take on electronic music, taking his beautiful melodic sound across the spectrum of subgenres. 

He's had many releases over the years on labels like Monstercat, Alpha Pup & Foreign Family, and is currently signed to San Holo's label bitbird - a perfect fit for his boundary-pushing music.

He has a new song titled Call Me November 18 which was preceded by his future garage-inspired tune Holdin U on the Gouldian Finch 4 compilation.

We talk about his production process, how fashion and visuals influence his music, and his plans for the future including tours in the US.

#169: Duskus on Creating Depth & Texture in Music

Who is Jaytech? It’s hard to know where to begin.

He started out as a classically trained pianist, entering and winning various competitions as a child before being introduced to the world of electronic music.

At age 16, he had his first vinyl release.

14 years later, he’s released 3 artist albums, toured the world, had releases on key labels, and worked with many different artists.

He’s one of my favorite producers, and due to that, this is one of my favorite episodes to date.

Dooqu - Oh Yeah

Welcome to Bad Computer.

The idea is to express my own musical taste through a unique approach to house music. 

In the choruses there's been a great focus on the offbeat rhythm of the track, rather than emphasising the 4/4 kick too much. I've used acoustic textures to give a sense of familiarity & sincerity to my composition; lighters, exhalations, keys etc. - I'm trying to evoke a scene in your mind with the soundscape.

TL&DR - Smoke to this.
