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.

#159: Crimson Child on Organic Sound Processing & Writing A Genre-Bending Album

Don’t you have somewhere to go
You told me about that place
Oceans turning and the seas sky boiling
Hands held tight if I blink will I be swept away

Its a place in your memory 
It wasn't good when it happened but you haven't let go
Oceans turning and the night sky is falling
Take my hand I won’t let you burn away

Paper kites in a hurricane 
Your only option  is to let it go
we will forge things of better metals
If you’ll keep on looking for better ways

I won't let you fade away
I won't let you burn away
I won't let you burn away
You’ll stay in my memory
You'll stay in my memory

Kites

Come Back

anywhere but here

Why would we go to the middle of nowhere for who knows how long? 

Why? Why? How about because this is the most important thing to happen in the history of the world

FUXWITHIT Guest Mix: 244 - Sam Day

we're on a river raft
let the current take its grip
we're not afraid to laugh 
at the water moving oh so quick
our friends run after us 
they watch us navigate this trip
don't know whats ahead of us
so as we hold on tightly
we'll see where this goes

they said to bring a map
to show us where we're headed now
but there's no fun in that
cause at some point we must let go
we take a photograph 
as the river starts to slow
we want this day to last
but there is something we should know by now

like a river flows
(we'll see where this)
into the unknown
(we'll see where this)
how far can we go
cause i don't wanna live in comfort
i don't wanna live in comfort
we'll see where this goes

we'll see where this goes

Ruely Is about The Incredible Journey of Self Discovery. A vivid reenactment of Sorrow and Bliss as they dance in harmony on a shimmery wave of life. This is what you miss. Now is your time. A chance to heal and a moment to shine.
