Discovery: D33J



Now that my blog is starting to get some attention and steady readership, I am getting the always welcome unsigned artist emails. It is a welcome reminder that we live in the 21st century where some inspired musical wunderkind in Germany can read my writings half a world away and send me his homemade EP and press kit with the click of a button. Djavan Santos (aka D33J) is a Cali-based electronic music producer studying in Hamburg on an art school residency. Using his DR-202 drum machine, some odd software patches, spoken word samples and his self-described "shitty Squire mini-guitar", D33J is making music that challenges, toying with tempo and timbre and feels surprisingly warm while speaking volumes without uttering a single word. Influences range all across the electronic spectrum and sources some sunny chillwave grooves as well. His first EP Tide Songs can be found on Bandcamp and downloaded for free below.
