Welcome to our seventh Artist Spotlight and third Session!

This week we welcome Skrybe onto the podcast for a chat and onto the decks for a session.

If you like melodic tunes with lots of bass, you’re going to LOVE Skrybe.

Here’s what you should know…

The masked artist, Skrybe, is an electronic music producer from Melbourne, Australia. A classically trained trumpet player, his love for music has grown strongly since picking up the instrument and has flourished into the aesthetic of the music he now produces.

Studying music composition has led to an exploration of dynamics; emotion and expression, before fat basses and hard-hitting beats. Skrybe works with colour and texture, expressing feelings as primary influences for his music, rather than specific timbres or production styles. Much of his music is built around the intricate characteristics of cinema, orchestral and film soundtracks. Whilst his style is primarily electronic, specialising in multiple genres which may sound familiar to some listeners, his attention to detail introduces us to a significantly different emotional context.

With an increasing presence across the electronic music scene, Skrybe’s recent highlights include charting on Beatport with his remix of “Thinking Too Much” by Brynny, releasing official remixes for QUIX and Crywolf, as well as playing alongside international acts, Barely Alive, Nukid and Virtual Riot.

While approaching his music with an almost ‘steampunk’ like identity, Skrybe’s sound leaves us with dynamics and narratives not often explored in the electronic genre.

Welcome to our sixth Artist Spotlight and second Session!

For those of you that don’t know, an Artist Spotlight is where we talk to a rising star in the EDM scene and a Session is an exclusive mix for Beyond the Beats.

Hailing from London by way of New Zealand, JAVAX (real name: Jordy) is no stranger to hard hitting, energetic trap music. His take on trap music promises to punch you in the gut and steal your lunch money on the playground.

In fact, if you want to get a little taste of what he’s throwing down you’re in luck. JAVAX has put together a killer mix for Beyond the Beats Sessions which you can hear at the beginning of this episode. A half hour of insanity delivered right to your eardrums from the man himself.

With powerful flips of Skrillex, Quix, NGHTMRE and stellar originals like Take It (premiered on FUXWITHIT), Click, and This Time; JAVAX promises to deliver constant heat while making a statement with each one of his tracks.

We got a chance to connect with JAVAX and talk to him about pursuing a career in music and what it took to make it all happen. We also dive into his origin story, musical influences, his thoughts on the EDM scene, and much more.

Catch JAVAX live at Printworks in London on Saturday, October 19th. You can find a link to tickets and all of JAVAX’s profiles in our show notes.
