Based out of Portland, Oregan, the producer and multi-instrumentalist Devin Kroes has spent the last six years and counting tapping into a variety of psybient styles across a choice collection of tracks. Ahead of his Breathe EP release through the Danktronics platform, the Rust was given the opportunity to premiere the effusive track “Bloom”, featuring the soul-drenched sax lines of ST4RFOX.

Wielding a pristine level of clarity and tonal balance, Kroes dances between lush vocal samples and vibrant layers of synthesis. Each passing phrase paints the next hue across the landscape of the song, building on additive arrangements and fleshing out the literal breath of the track. At high point of the musical narrative, ST4RFOX breaks into a spirited saxophone run that ties off “Bloom” with a proper resolution, leaving the track to fade out between ripples of waning chords. For fans of full-spectrum sound design and organic compositions, make sure you grab the full copy of Devin Kroes' Breathe EP when it drops on April 23 on all available platforms.

Devin Kroes - Bloom (ft. ST4RFOX) [EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE]

Noone By My Side (Instrumental)

LostinSound.org is excited to premiere the @DevinKroesmusic X @ResonantLanguage collaboration "Misty Peaks" from the forthcoming @chillagerecords compilation album Crunksauce Vol. 5  which features 20 different producers' creations covering a diverse range of genres, including artists such as Wu Wei, The Digital Connection, Spoken Bird, Secret Recipe and more. 

"Misty Peaks" is reminiscent of an early Emancipator production, but with a full dose of trip-and-drip-hop. Devin Kroes' reverberating acoustic guitar swirls in and around psy-breaks built by Colorado's Resonant Language.  The result is something beautifully cinematic and gripping that pours out slowly from the speaker. 

Chillage has been supporting the releases of west coast bass musicians for a number of years, and this fifth installment of their Crunksauce series was the first time they opened submissions to the public. Tunes from established producers and a handful of fresh faces fill the 19 track release. Chillage is releasing three tracks each week in various outlets before the March 29 official release date.

Skysia, emerging from Denver's dynamic music scene, is a standout artist renowned for his unique blend of ethereal, organic, and melodic sounds with a new focus on sound design and bass. His transition from a nomadic life in a mini-school bus to a thriving Denver-based musician symbolizes his evolving artistry, balancing darkness and light in his compositions. His mission is to infuse harmony and storytelling into bass music, as he believes in the power of narrative in music-making.

His recent work includes the Overture EP (February 2024) on the prestigious Odyzey label and the acclaimed "Here" album (2023), accompanied by the feature film "Here: Memories of a Soul," directed by Julia Delbourg. This project, inspired by his 13-track LP, delves into themes of memory, existence, and relationships.

Skysia’s background in film studies deeply influences his music, adding a cinematic and symphonic quality to his sound. He aims to take listeners on a hero’s journey through his compositions, combining earthy textures, deep bass, and orchestral strings for an immersive experience.

He has graced stages at major festivals and events such as Lucidity Festival, Elements Festival, and Meow Wolf, sharing the limelight with artists like Clozee, The Funk Hunters, Rezz, and many others. His upcoming performances include Texas Eclipse and Red Rocks with CloZee and LSDREAM.

The name 'Skysia,' derived from 'sky' and 'sea,' reflects the duality of his music, capable of being both soothing and intense. This balance is a cornerstone of his style, fusing melodic downtempo with experimental bass, and allowing listeners to connect with all aspects of themselves.

Skysia's commitment to storytelling and melody sets him apart in the electronic music scene, making him a compelling figure in the industry. His approach to music is a testament to his belief in the importance of storytelling, ensuring that each song is not just a track but a narrative journey.
