Hailing from the D.C. area and falling back on a lifetime of experience behind the drum kit, Crawdad Sniper is a producer/DJ with a significant rhythmic bent. Already boasting a modest catalog of hip-shaking tunes and sprinkles of funkadelic electronic music, his latest collection of tracks fields sharp sound design and pocketed phasing with a polished profile. In a bid to start the new off with a righteous groove, The Rust is especially excited to host his newly minted EP, Squid Pro Quo. 

Tight, pinpoint percussion dominates the runtime of Squid Pro Quo, serving as the consistent foundation for his rhythmic and melodic arrangements. Taking clear advantage of his time as a drummer, it’s simultaneously the backbone and foreground of the EP, with each hit taking up generous sonic bandwidth. Each track flares with an alternate series of forward and laid back attitudes while keeping the focus squarely on kinetics; splices of throaty synthesis mingle with staccato lead lines and harmonized chord plucks, closing the distance between hard hitting neuro motifs and pronounced songwriting fundamentals. There’s an almost liquid quality to the EP’s engineering, producing a listening experience that is as hygienic as it is engaging, and betraying a significant dedication to cleanliness as well as design. For fans and appreciators of rhythmic inertia, funk motifs, and generous synthesis, Crawdad Sniper’s Squid Pro Quo is guaranteed to satisfy.

With the 5AM Trio project we've always been exploring the balance of the digital and the organic as we blend electronic and live elements in our arrangements. Technology is a song about striking that balance.

This tune was originally created together with the Trio using live looping, and our goal was to maintain that live energy even as I embellished the sound design and songwriting over time. The result is a glitch-hop tune that dabbles in the darker side of psychedelic jam and can go in many directions in a live setting.

The line "his vision was limited only by technology" really inspired us because technology can limit us, through distraction and by giving us a paralyzing amount of options if we're not disciplined, so it's  about honing in and striking that balance while embracing all the gifts technology has to offer.
