Kr!sh is a NYC-based producer looking to bring a harder element to the EDM scene. His most recent song, “Shloka,” blends the gritty dark, pulse of industrial techno with the rhythmic, yet varied levels and layered textures that characterize electro house. A similar style of producing can also be seen in the work of Gesaffelstein, a Parisian DJ and producer who Kr!sh numbers as one of his favorite artists.
The track name, which literally means “verse,” alludes to a type of couplet verse line that is frequently used in Indian epic poetry. Seems fitting because, one, epic poetry was often sung, and two, music is very much the poetry of sounds. At times jovial-sounding, at times restrained, and always tense and heavy, “Shloka” is worth the listen. Hit play on the Soundcloud player and check it out.
