INDEx Mix #40 - Hesh

Defrag is extreme sound design and audio rhythmic experimentation of Jeff Dodson, a composer and sound designer living in Los Angeles CA.

Defrag's influences like IDM, dubstep and experimental abstract glitch, filter into his music. With his classical background giving it a more cinematic progression. Orchestrated strings, piano, classic analogue synths and software processing add up to a fusion of analogue warmth, modern classical and raw digital abstraction.

That he chooses instead to make his attention to detail the vehicle for his songs rather than their focus is not only admirable, it’s a definitive comment on his priorities and where they lie. Defrag makes complicated music, but you can completely forget that in the moment and just experience it.

We proudly present this live-recording of Nikos; that serves as a journey through the more chilled out vibes of his electronic music pallet. 

Using playful and hypnotic sounds, Nikos likes to create and play music that encourages movement and a listening experience. In his live sets he moves between fast rhythms and slower beats, bringing soft and hard sounds together. He has also encapsulated his versatile sound in his first EP ‘Metaturnal’ released on Flippen Disks.

As a producer and visual designer he is interested in how both disciplines can complement each other such as in his audiovisual project UMBRA. Nikos likes to organize listening events in a relaxed setting, which he does throughout The Netherlands, under the name of Pelagic Ambient.

VAAG is the artist name of producer Marc Brinkerink (NL) and translates from Dutch to English as 'unclear, vague, no frames, no boundaries....no direction'. His latest release 'Perfect Imperfection' on the label @pointsourcearts has been discribed by @igloomag as "Skittering, tumbling beats slip and slide past each other, narrowly avoiding collision in an erratic but choreographed dance. Strange, warbling melodies and crackling electrical discharges fill the air with a palpable energy. Somehow all these broken pieces fit together with an odd sort of cohesion. It’s wrong in all the right ways, perfectly imperfect."
