Describing the sound and aesthetic of Chaum’s music, one could tend easily to use bold headlines as “Melodic Deep House” and “Electronica” with a love for “Breaks & Downtempo Grooves”. Chaum loves Progressive House and Techno aesthetic and manages to translate the dark side of them into his music. Drifting into cold industrial repetition, its not his point – it’s more a deep yearning for the horizon, pulling the dancer forward with soft melodies into melancholy. His DJ-Set’s brings all these parts together, blending Deep House music with melodic sounds and soundscapes, groovy baselines and punchy drums into a sweet and endless decay.

His first steps into the world of music began at the age of 15 - too young for DJ-Set’s in Bars and several music places in his hometown “Patras”. A few years later the production of Electronic music came into his life and very soon a release, a remix at Mikalogic’s track “ 82 Love You (2013)” as Angelo M. 

While developing different skills as a music producer and audio engineer, both exciting and colourful, a deep focus on creating music and managing several releases and collaborations made Angelo invented “Chaum” - a new artist name. Influenced by melodic trends and dark electronic music he found his way to combine the roots of “Melodic Techno - Deep House - Progressive House” in a different creative way and came up with his own abstract sound.

Right Frequency - Episode 44 - Chaum

I've been listening to electronic music since I was old enough to tune into the John Peel show on Radio 1. Peel first introduced me to Chicago House, Detroit Electro and Rap. I would listen to an entire show with my finger hovering over the record button of my 'tape-recorder' close to the radio speaker just to record whatever 3 electronic imports he would play each night. I wish I'd kept those recordings.
From the moment I first heard 'Roxanne Shante' I sought out everything I could ranging from Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, Kurtis Mantronik, Africa Bambata, Grandmaster Flash, Gorgio Morodor, Axel-F, Jean Michel Jarre and just about anyone who used a synth to make music! With the arrival of House in the mid-late 80's the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Steve Silk Hurley, Adonis and many more American underground House producers, the music had developed into a new, seriously exciting phenomena.
Music progressed at pace with House and Acid imports driving change, the UK in particular underwent an epiphany of sorts in the 80's and 90's. From Break-Dancing to New Romanticism, the music developed, finally morphing into the early genres of Acid Trance, Techno and Progressive Trance. Heavily influenced by American and underground Dutch and German artists and with the advent of clubbing and non-speaking mixing DJ's, it opened up a Pandora's box of new music, influences, sounds and styles. What that amounted to for me (and most others like me) was an ever-growing range of electronic music that was continually breaking free from pigeon-holes and mainstream pop culture. Electronic music had become the new classical music of a generation.
I can only say that electronic or computer music has evolved beautifully in the past 40 years and I love it as much now as the day I first heard John Peel play fantastic American imports.
I'm not anything more than a bedroom DJ and electronic music enthusiast. I have the greatest admiration for those who DJ publicly and seek to build a following or career from DJing, but that’s not a path I’ve tried to follow. I do love to put together great tunes, so for me using this sort of platform for sharing music is perfect for me. I do mixes both on my decks and using Ableton, as sometimes I find it easier to create a journey through that medium. 
As for making music, I’m slowly finding my way around Ableton in order to bring life to the musical ideas rolling around my head. 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mixes I post, please give me some feedback and if nothing else, support the artists themselves and buy their music.
