The Artistic Expression Behind Illfest Illfest was originally a festival called “Illectric River” and was started by Jason Millsap and Robert Brooks. PRIME came onto Illfest in its 3rd year when it rebranded as part of a natural synergy between them and the founding members. “A lot of this was because we formed the Mark My Words partnership with owner, Robert Brooks, so getting involved with Illfest was a natural progression,” PRIME says. “Illfest and festival projects for us are a challenge that we personally love to tackle. They are filled with problems to be solved and for us are tests of what it means to curate and share.” Additionally, the recent partnership with Disco Donnie this year has been generating a lot of buzz! As Donnie has been a long-time partner with Mark My Words, it was a natural discussion to work together with Donnie on Illfest, as they have always maintained that the best approach to a successful and healthy music market is collaboration. “We have always tried to create and share what we collectively enjoy and want to celebrate with our community,” PRIME says. “I think the most important thing for us is sharing art that we believe and hope we are able to contribute to the growth of new ideas, art, and experiences.” Every year, Illfest continues to feature diverse lineups of music and visual artists, unique production, great eats, installations, and of course, amazing sound. The art and installation portion of Illfest is really the festival's other half. “Street art is something that has inspired all of the festival contributors,” PRIME says. “It’s something that brings us together and we feel that it’s an important shared moment for the festival guests. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be involved in projects like Illfest and work with the talented people that really bring this all together!” We invite you to mark your calendars for an immersive journey into the heart of electronic music and artistic expression.

Hailing from the industrial city of Detroit, Noah Franchak, i.e. WYNAX has crafted a sound that embodies the essence of industrial music. With a unique blend of mid-tempo and house music, his tracks resonate with an authentic industrial vibe that leaves a lasting imprint. We had a conversation as we delved into the Detroit influence that molds his music, his journey in leaving a mark on the electronic music scene, and his recent transition from Michigan to Houston. As we explore his musical journey, it’s evident that his passion, creativity, and dedication shine brightly, promising an exciting future in the Texas electronic dance world. WYNAX’s Musical Journey EDM Texas: Your music is deeply influenced by the city of Detroit! How has growing up in the iconic industrial city shaped your musical journey and the unique blend of industrial elements and energy that define your sound? WYNAX: Growing up in the Detroit metro area was a blast, as there is so much industry within the Detroit area. I looked around one day and asked myself, “How am I going to stand out in this scene?” and I looked all around me. As my dad has worked in the auto industry my entire life, I took inspiration from him and his occupation. I have become obsessed with adding little hints of industrial elements throughout my music in the last few years. I love to layer my snares with steel clanks or a hammer to add the feel. I also love the vibe of dark industrial factories and how that affects my music. I want my music to make you feel like you are in the city of Detroit, driving through factories and embracing what Detroit is. EDM Texas: Could you tell us about a memorable moment or experience in your career where you felt like you truly made a mark on the Detroit electronic music scene? WYNAX: This year, I played the Shrek Rave at the Majestic Theatre, which is one of the most prolific theaters in the city. This theater opened in 1915 and so many legendary acts have played there. To be a part of that and play on such a historic stage really made me feel like a part of the history. EDM Texas: You recently made the move from Detroit to Houston! How has this transition influenced your music and connection to the electronic music scene? Are there any notable differences in the music culture between these two cities that have impacted your work? WYNAX: Ever since making the move to Texas, I have noticed a different feel to my music. Michigan has a huge bass scene up there, with the likes of Peekaboo, Griz, and G-Rex. It feels like my music used to be heavily influenced by those acts as many people around me listened to them. Ever since I moved down to Texas, it feels like my music has become more mature. I am feeling more consistent with my music and less scattered. My music has reached a point where I am appealing to all different cultures rather than just Michigan fans. The Unique Appeal of WYNAX EDM Texas: How would you best describe ‘energetic house music’ and what sets it apart from other styles of electronic music? WYNAX: I like to pride myself on bringing a new perspective to music in the house scene. I believe that there are many acts in the house scene where their music feels a little slow and not so hard-hitting. Nothing is wrong with that but when I hear that it feels like I want more energy. When I make my tracks, I try to bring as much energy to them as I can. There needs to be someone who brings something more to house music than just typical house. House music needs an infusion of something beyond the typical. EDM Texas: Can you share some examples of how you challenge yourself in your music, and what drives you to push the boundaries of the genre while still resonating with fellow DJs and fans? WYNAX: One way I like to challenge myself is by listening to modern music and thinking about how it can be more unique. I want the house music industry to have someone that starts pushing against the walls. I like to take elements from bass and mid-tempo to create something unique. I believe people appreciate my music for its unique and unprecedented qualities. I also believe people like my music because I am very present on social media and my personality shows. My social media combined with my music reminds people that I am not just another boring DJ but someone to resonate with. EDM Texas: Your social media presence is as unique as your music! How do you approach creating content and engaging with your audience on platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and beyond? WYNAX: Creating content is something I do for fun rather than as a job. Many DJs these days treat content creation as a job and see it as their sole path to success. I think posting content is great but only if it is genuine. There are many people faking and it looks like they are struggling to record themselves. I enjoy creating content for my own enjoyment. I love to make TikToks, especially ones that people can easily engage with. Same with Twitter, I love to make posts that create a conversation rather than me ranting into the abyss of that website. EDM Texas: How do you see your own personality reflected in your music, and how does this personal touch resonate with your fans and fellow artists in the electronic music community? WYNAX: I’ve always pursued freedom throughout my life. Freedom can be achieved by gaining the power to do so. However, it’s those who take risks and challenge boundaries who truly attain this power. I believe that is how my music feels. I want to feel free within my music and the only way I can do that is by not closing in my walls of specific genres but rather setting myself free with music. It’s clear that WYNAX’s Detroit-inspired, innovative approach toward his music has sparked interest both in Michigan and Houston. As he continues to push boundaries and stay true to his free-spirited nature, keep an eye on this talented producer as he makes waves in the Texas electronic dance community!

Lauren Villarreal, known in the electronic music world as Karmuh, is a versatile producer and DJ hailing from Dallas, Texas. Karmuh’s meteoric rise began with her debut track “Help Me”, featuring Madnoiz, which swiftly made waves and earned her recognition among the Texas electronic music community. Her distinctive musical style artfully fuses elements of experimental bass and new-age hip-hop, creating a sonic landscape that is both mesmerizing and innovative. In our exclusive interview, we had the privilege of diving into the Karmuh experience and exploring her profound impact on the dynamic Texas dance scene! The Artist Behind Karmuh EDM Texas: Your journey in the electronic music scene has been both fascinating and inspiring! Can you take us back to your early days and share what initially drew you to electronic music? Karmuh: I've been a dancer my whole life. I have been in competition cheer and dance since I was a young girl. I was introduced to the scene by a high school friend who showed me Borgore and I fell in love with the music instantly. With my skills in dancing and my love for music as a whole, it didn't take long for me to pick up go-go dancing gigs. From there on out, I knew I was meant to be involved in this beautiful industry one way or the other. EDM Texas: How has your connection to electronic music influenced your creative journey and what keeps you inspired with this dynamic musical landscape? Karmuh: Electronic music has connected with me spiritually. It has gotten me through the highs and lows of life, and for that I am grateful. I've been inspired by the consistent evolution of the electronic music scene and I love seeing bigger-tier artists using their platform to make a positive impact. I'd love to use my project as a way to spread love and light through each and every individual who has the chance to indulge in the Karmuh experience. The Karmuh Experience EDM Texas: What elements and emotions do you aim to convey to your audience, and how do you go about creating that unforgettable Karmuhe experience? Karmuh: Dancing has always been a big part of my life. That's definitely one element I'd like to add to my sets in a more uniform fashion down the road. You'll catch me behind the decks every once in a while doing my thing. I'm a performer. I like to share my emotions through the music I'm playing or releasing. I like my audience to go on my journey with me, but ultimately I'd like to convey a sense of euphoria, fulfillment, and bliss. If I can make someone else's life just a little bit better through my music then I feel like I've succeeded. EDM Texas: How do you utilize low-end frequencies to create a distinct mood or vibe in your tracks and sets? Karmuh: For me, personally, low-end frequencies are the new wave. There's something about the manipulation of bass that really does something for my spirit. I feel like this newer age of experimental music is more for the dancers and less for the headbangers. Don't get me wrong if you want to headbang, you're more than welcome to, but I feel like making music you can feel in your body over just hearing in your ears definitely plays a role in the vibe of my sets. EDM Texas: How do you strike a balance between experimentation and familiarity to craft a style that’s both innovative and accessible to your audience? Karmuh: I've said it since I first started DJing, I want to make "hot girl" electronic music. I like to incorporate vocals from musicians that I enjoy and also artists from my childhood. I feel like my taste in music is pretty universal considering I enjoy all genres which in turn, resonates with my fans. EDM Texas: Your music is known for its “wubby hard hitters” that really resonate with your audience. What makes these wubby hard hitters such a critical part of your musical identity and how do they contribute to the overall experience of your music and sets? Karmuh: It's not a Karmuh set without a wubby hard hitter or two! Every time a song drops I immediately make a gnarly bass face and use my fingers to imitate the sounds. It's almost as if the music becomes a part of me and if I can make somebody else make those same faces and movements, then I feel accomplished! On top of the wubz I've also begun to incorporate sounds that give almost a magical fairy vibe. I've always considered myself a weird person, so it's just natural my sets follow in the same direction. Karmuh’s Impact on the Texas EDM Scene EDM Texas: You’ve been an integral part of the EDM scene in Dallas. Can you share with us how your presence and music have influenced and contributed to the local EDM community? Are there any specific collaborations you’ve been involved in that have had a notable impact on the growth and vibrancy of the Dallas EDM scene? Karmuh: Outside of the Karmuh project, I am a co-founder of iSkream Collective, which is a promotion company here out of DFW. My involvement with the company is what kick-started my project in the first place. Being able to showcase other artists and building a platform to chase their dreams has actually influenced me to chase my own. It also opened doors to meeting other groups of genuine individuals. Working with teams like Full Grind Entertainment, DFW Rave Fam, Baked Up, #TilTheDirt, and 1220 Ent to not only play but to curate shows, has been very humbling for me. I personally feel like it's brought together a lot of different demographics of people who may have never crossed paths. It honestly makes me very happy. EDM Texas: How do these connections impact your music and career and what do you value most about your involvement in this vibrant community? Karmuh: Without the people I have met today, I honestly don't even know if the Karmuh project would even exist today. The support I receive alone is enough to make anyone want to pursue their dreams. It's honestly what drives me. What I value most is the beautiful energy when we're all together. I feel so whole when I'm surrounded by all the love, music, and laughter. EDM Texas: Is there anything else you want the community to know? Karmuh: If I could end on any note it would be that if you have a dream, chase it. You're not "too old" to do whatever it is that inspires you. You are here for a reason. Be that reason and be that light. Blessed be. <3 Karmuh’s journey in the electronic music scene reflects her deep passion and connection to music and dance. Her message of pursuing dreams, regardless of age, resonates with all, and her music invites you to be a part of the Karmuh experience, where music becomes a transformative and unforgettable adventure.

JFRANK, a rising star in the vibrant Texas EDM scene, is a prominent figure in the melodic bass genre. With his latest track, “Cyber Chase” along with his other releases, he is creating ripples across the electronic music landscape. If you’re looking to explore the world through the lens of this passionate and innovative artist, join us as we delve into the creative process behind this remarkable song, influences, and journey as a whole. The Rise of JFRANK EDM Texas: Can you take us back to the beginning of your musical journey? How did you first discover your passion for electronic dance music, and what inspired you to pursue a career as a producer? JFRANK: It started back in the summer of 2011. I was at an Allen High School game when one of my friends showed me “Still Gettin’ It” by Foreign Beggars and Skrillex. It was one of the most insane things I had ever heard in my life at the time. After that I searched through the internet to find out that kind of music was called “dubstep”. Fast forward to April of 2012 - I was neck deep in the EDM rabbit holes on YouTube, and that’s when I found out about the music festivals. I was watching Hardwell’s set when I realized he’s able to make his own music, play it out in front of thousands of people, and make a living off of it. Once I realized that, the rest was history. I knew exactly what I wanted to dedicate my life to. I think my passion for it originally stemmed from needing another kind of music when I was younger. I grew up listening to my parents listening to a lot of R&B and hip-hop, and my older brother listening strictly to hard rap. I was just tired of listening to love/breakup songs and tracks about violence and getting money. Dance music finally gave me that sense of escape and a positive feeling towards it. I was in love as soon as I heard about it! EDM Texas: It’s clear that your music has a distinctive and captivating style! Could you share some of the artists or experiences that have significantly influenced your sound? And how do you feel your style sets you apart in the world of EDM? JFRANK: If I could narrow it down to the top three artists that influence my music, it would be Hardwell, Virtual Riot, and Ace Aura. I’ve said it before, but I give so much credit to Hardwell for showing that there is a future for me within this business. It is possible to start from nothing and work your way to the top of the mountain. I credit Virtual Riot for showing how diverse your creativity can be. Lastly, I gave a lot of credit to Ace. When I was first starting to produce, there were always the super heavy dubstep/tear-out guys like Excision, and there were also guys who leaned a lot more toward melodic dubstep like Seven Lions. Those guys are amazing, but I wanted to make music that was somewhere in the middle of those two worlds. In the midst of that, I came across Ace’s tracks, and Immediately thought “Oh wow he’s doing exactly that!”. I was really excited to see that someone was making music in the way I was thinking about it, but it also challenged me to step my own game up and differentiate my sound from his. EDM Texas: Can you tell us about some of your proudest accomplishments in your career so far? Additionally, can you share some insights into your previous releases and how they have shaped your artistic revolution? JFRANK: The proudest accomplishment of my career would probably be playing Ubbi Dubbi and Lights All Night in the same year. I was in California when I was offered a closing set at Lights All Night. At that point, I wasn’t really posting that much on social media at all. I was really grinding away on the music, so it was an amazing moment to know that the Disco Donnie team enjoyed my set at Ubbi Dubbi enough that they invited me back for Lights All Night. My previous releases have made me grow and level up each time and I can feel myself getting better and better with each release. More times than not, I will be making new stuff and some of my friends will recommend trying a sound design method, which in turn, inspires me even more to try new things and different ways to make new sounds. With every new track, I always try to keep one new thing I did within that track as a part of my box of tools I use regularly to make music. "Cyber Chase" Unveiled EDM Texas: Could you walk us through the inspiration behind “Cyber Chase”, its unique elements, and the creative process that brought it to life? What do you hope listeners will take away from this musical journey? JFRANK: The inspiration behind “Cyber Chase” was more of me realizing that my melodies don’t always have to be so complicated all the time. There are a lot of great songs that have very simplistic melodies and chords. It was a song that I could really relax on being super sophisticated and intricate, but more so just make something fun and energetic! The primary message I hope listeners take away from the track is this. The fact that it IS a journey, and it should be enjoyed as such. It’s an adventure, and it is never about getting to the destination. EDM Texas: Could you share some insights into the production techniques and musical choices that contributed to the track’s distinctive melodic bass sound? What sets this aspect of the song apart from other bass tracks? JFRANK: My main thought process when it comes to making melodic bass music is to get a 50/50 blend of both heavy bass and melodic content. So when I sound design I start with something that could be a regular bass sound on its own, then add the color to it. To my producers, Snap Heap by Kilohearts has been super helpful with this process. It's never really about adding the melodic side 50% on absolutely everything. A lot of times there are some sections in my music where the heavier basses takeover, but balance it out with a heavy melodic section soon after, and vice versa. I think the fact that I do the whole “50/50 blend” method is what makes my tracks stand out in general. A lot of the major dubstep bangers and classics lean very heavily one way or the other. They’re either very heavy with little melodic content or the other way around. EDM Texas: The title “Cyber Chase” suggests an intriguing theme. Could you shed some light on the inspiration behind the name and the overall theme of the track? Are there any specific experiences or ideas that influenced this creative direction? JFRANK: “Cyber Chase” is one of my favorite themes and ideas. The artwork shows some sort of digital wormhole into the white unknown. The whole idea is that when the drop hits it forces your imagination to run wild with what is on the other side of that wormhole. The drop gives your brain somewhat of an idea of what happening once you cross through, but for the most part, it is entirely your choice to envision what is transpiring. Listen to “Cyber Chase” below: JFRANK's Impact On The Texas EDM Scene EDM Texas: You’ve been an integral part of the Texas EDM scene for quite some time now! Can you share some insights into how you’ve contributed to the local community? Have there been any memorable collaborations, performances, or events that stand out as a significant contribution to the scene? JFRANK: The Texas EDM scene is really special to me considering that’s where I got my start. But in general, it has been and always will be my home. I’ve moved away from Texas a couple of times now, and anywhere I go, I make sure people know where I came from and how we live down in the South. I actually played shows in multiple states where most of my set consisted of Dallas or Texas producers in general. I've always wanted to put Dallas more on the map than it currently is and my last two collaborations with PRSM and Malware are easily my favorite. My set at Lights All Night stands out to me as well. I had to close out a stage on day two of the festival, playing at the same time as John Summit and Zeds Dead. They are two of the biggest dance music artists today, and I had to figure out a way to keep a crowd and keep their attention. I was able to pull it off and I was very proud of what I was able to accomplish that night. EDM Texas: As “Cyber Chase” gains momentum, how have you experienced its reception, particularly with the Texas EDM community? How do you feel your music resonates with the local audience, and what role does your background play in your artistic identity? JFRANK: I have had an overwhelming amount of support for this track within the community and it always amazes me just how supportive the community can be! It’s only been out a week and I’ve seen it on so many playlists, it's breached the top 30 dubstep streamed tracks on Hypeddit and all the messages I’ve received about it. I think the music I make has a unique connection with the community. There have been times when I played a 9 p.m. set, which in most cases most people aren’t at the venue yet, and out of nowhere, the place is packed out! It blows me away every time it happens and I try to live in those moments and not take it for granted. I think my background does play a key role in my artistic identity. If it wasn’t for my time at Allen High School, being a part of the band, moving to the Midwest and experiencing that for a few years, and going to California for Icon Collective, I would not be where I am at all. I wouldn’t be who I am either. It all blends together and comes out as yours truly! JFRANK’s remarkable journey and unique melodic style have made him a prominent figure in the EDM world. To fully appreciate his contributions and experience the magic of his music, we strongly encourage you to listen to his music and embark on the most exhilarating adventure of your life!

XDescend, a prominent figure in the Texas electronic dance music scene, has forged an exceptional journey within the realm of EDM, drawing inspiration from diverse musical influences and experiences. With a distinct approach to music production, Max Fotey, aka. XDescend has gained recognition for his innovative sound design and the ability to create immersive sonic experiences. “Brainstorm”, his recent standout track, holds significance in a special way, showcasing his talent for blending house genres and pushing the boundaries of electronic dance music. We had an engaging discussion about his musical influences, the inspiration behind this exceptional track, and his distinctive production and sound design. XDescend’s Background and Musical Influences EDM Texas: Could you share your journey with us, taking us back to your early life, musical influences, and how you found your way into the EDM scene? XDescend: My parents had the biggest musical influence when I was young. Around the age of seven, my favorite song was Steppenwolf’s “Born to be Wild” made in 1968. I listened to whatever they listened to, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are bands that came to my mind when I was that age. As I got older my music taste started to change. I wanted something heavier. I wanted something that would make me feel more emotion. When I was 13, I remember listening to Drowning Pool's "Bodies” often. but after a few years, that sort of music wasn't heavy enough for me. By high school, I was listening to mostly Death Metal, everywhere I went. Even in class, I would sneak the headphone cable through the long sleeve of a black hoodie, so I could hold the speaker in my hand while hiding the cable. Only then, I could listen to my music in one ear without anyone noticing if I put my elbow on the desk and my palm over my ears. I also took singing lessons and practiced death metal vocals. I was the lead singer of a short-lived band that covered a couple of songs. The band wasn’t successful. I didn’t listen to any form of modern electronic until I came across an album Genesis by the French electronic music duo Called Justice. About a year later when I had just turned 18 I got asked by a friend if I wanted to go to a rave. I immediately thought, “They still have those?!”. I went with a group of people to a club in Dallas called Afterlife. It was a culture shock! The music, people, dances, clothing, the candy, but my favorite part was the LED gloves. I quickly stopped learning how to play the guitar and I picked up gloving instead. Looking back this is what truly marked my change from Metal into EDM. The friends that took me to my first rave never went back again but I found new people there that I could talk to. In the rave scene, I felt more welcomed and judged less. EDM Texas: Your unique style stands out in the EDM scene here in Texas! Could you talk about the musical influences that have played a pivotal role in shaping your one-of-a-kind sound? XDescend: My musical influences come from multiple genres and subgenres, including rappers, bands, and producers. Some of the greatest artists had one thing in common: they were all unique and sounded different from the other artists in their field. So, I didn’t attempt to sound like someone else. I simply aimed to be myself and strive to write music that I liked to listen to, aiming for distinctiveness. However, the music also needed to be similar enough to allow for mixing from one song to the next, making it appealing for DJs to play. It felt like a balancing act between these two spectrums. I was still learning how to strive the approrpiate balance, but I believed I was improving. If I could weave a meaningful message into the song, that would be a big plus for me. EDM Texas: Can you share some insight into the tracks that have been instrumental in propelling your recognition within the industry? XDescend: Almost two years ago, my release, “The Underground”, signed with Gangsta House Records was my first official release under the previous spelling of my artist name, XDezend. A few months later, I was invited to do a guest mix for the label, which was hosted in Israel. This release along with a few remixes the following year helped me but I didn’t stop there. I made videos for the tunes to help promote them as well. The Spark and Inspiration Behind “Brainstorm” EDM Texas: What sparked the inspiration for the track, “Brainstorm”? XDescend: When I saw there was a locals-only DFW music production competition hosted by Aftrlife Entertainment, I wanted to give it a shot! At that time, I was working on 3 or 4 different songs that started getting a little stale on the creative side, so I wanted to start something fresh. Instead of trying to think of something, I wanted to wait until a new idea “hit me”. Most of the time my best ideas come from out of nowhere instead of me trying to think of something right then, so I don't like to force creativity. Luckily, a few days later, in a spirit of creativity, the metaphor of “thoughts circling my mind, like water in the sky” came to me, and then I thought about how my thoughts could be almost like the water vapor in a cloud. Wanting to add an additional closing to the phrase I thought, “Boom, goes the Thunder”! The sentence contrasted harshly with the sentence before. I thought… wait a minute, that’s just like the thought patterns of someone with ADD/ADHD, like myself. However, this storm is inside the mind. When I was thinking about the song's title, the word “Brainstorm” emerged. The fact that it would be perfect for a play on words was a fantastic feeling for me. This put me on cloud nine and made me want to get started on the project in the studio. I jotted down the lyrics, planning to start working on the tune at a later date. EDM Texas: Were there any personal experiences, events, or emotions that helped pave the creative process? XDescend: I do my best to learn from every personal experience I encounter. I don’t want to be stuck in a mental state where I won’t grow as a person. I also want to treat others the way I would like to be treated, which is why I encourage others to grow as well. No one can force anyone else to think differently but you can show them other perspectives so that they may want to change themselves. Using metaphors and art is a unique way to describe something to someone they haven't seen or felt before. This is my motivation that keeps me moving forward in my creative processes and within my life as well. EDM Texas: With “Brainstorm’s” incredible groove, what was your initial vision, and how did it transform as you delved into production? XDescend: My initial vision was to put the listener in the middle of a soundscape that resembled a thunderstorm and the dynamics between calm and chaotic. When the storm rolled in, aka. For the drop, I opted for an A/B song structure. In this song structure, the beginning phrase (A) is typically 4 or 8 quarter notes long followed by the ending phrase (B) with the same number of quarter notes that was in the beginning phrase (A). This is a common type of structure within modern music whether it's one melodic phrase, a baseline, song lyrics, or even two completely different sounds: one on A and the other on B altogether, it's still an A/B structure. In Music theory, this can also be called tension and release or call and response. In “Brainstorm”, the first drop contained a recreated thunder sound (Phrase A). Then my recreation of what lightning would sound like if it made a sound (Phrase B) which was my call and response, thunder then lightning. Listen to “Brainstorm” below: XDescend’s Production and Sound Design EDM Texas: Could you give us a glimpse into your studio setup and the tools you prefer to use when crafting your electrifying beats? XDescend: Yes! The most important thing I use is Ableton, and I try to convert everything into audio files as quickly as possible. Even if I'm using a midi controller, or sampler like the Pioneer DJS-1000. If I have a plug-in opened up and its serum adds the main element in the song, but it’s still in the midi form, I can keep changing it and rearranging it. While this has its advantages, it also presents some drawbacks. If I keep changing it, the song will never get done. The audio file can be edited also but committing to an idea that I like is a good way to keep the music-making process moving forward. For audio monitoring, I have a pair of Krks speaker tops and an SSL 2+ USB audio interface, and for my vocals, I have a Rode NT1-A with an acoustic foam shield. However, the thing that helps me the most with my monitoring system is something called SoundID by Sonarworks. It will autocorrect your listening environment. It equalizes the room and alters the audio phase to minimize any phase cancellations as well! Making the studio sound as neutral as possible to the most ideal listening environment. EDM Texas: Could you share some insights into your sound design techniques? How did you achieve that distinctive vibe that sets “Brainstorm” apart? XDescend: To accomplish the soundscape that I wanted, I used the natural recordings of thunder, wind, rain, and hail then I placed the elements in their strategic places. For the thunder, I placed it just before the first downbeat to give the listener the anticipation of thunder about to strike. It was important to cut the low end off with an EQ so it wouldn’t muddy the mix. I added rain during the drop and disguised it as high hats. I accomplished this by wrapping the audio to make it have a repetitive musical pattern then added reverb, EQ, and compression to make it cohesive with the rest of the elements in the song. During the breakdown, I actually just ended up using the sound of Hail instead of rain, because with everything else going on in the mix, the rain sound didn’t cut through the mix like I wanted. The percussive sound of hail proved more effective, and with some EQ adjustments, it resembled the tranquil sound of rain. EDM Texas: The journey of creating “Brainstorm” must have had its share of highs and lows. Can you talk about any challenges you encountered during the production phase? Were there any breakthrough moments that truly pushed the track to the next level? XDescend: The production of “Brainstorm” came along fairly smoothly, but it wasn’t until the first version was finished that I noticed a couple of issues. The biggest problem was the sub-bass. The sound was muddy and unclear. I wanted to make the bass similar to the sound of thunder but I also wanted the sound to translate well in a club setting. After a lot of trial and error using different techniques, I decided to completely redo the bass so that it could still sound like thunder but also hit clean in a club setting. Personally, when I make a track there are often times when after the mixdown I get close to finishing but there is some element that could be added or changed to give it that extra 5 or 10 percent. I then have to go backward in the music-making process to fix it, but I believe that extra detailed work is what takes a song to the next level. Like everything in life: hard work, commitment, time, and dedication will produce good results over time. XDescend’s creative journey in producing “Brainstorm” has been a remarkable transformation from a background influenced by various music genres to finding a unique voice in the electronic dance world. His dedication to detail and commitment to pushing the track to the next level has resulted in an electrifying and impactful contribution to the EDM scene in Texas and beyond. This journey reflects his XDescend’s growth as an artist and his promising prospects in the world of electronic dance music. Follow XDescend on his socials below: Facebook Instagram Spotify
