The rise of a talent

Two years ago, the young French Drum & Bass producer Skylark began to be respected by the greatest. He was first featured on Noisia Radio (S02E13) for his track Sequence, which was released on Skankandbass. His signature is now easily recognizable: deep and wide subs, cutting edge and ultra light snares, minimalistic, yet sometimes techy hats and low boomy kicks. That’s all really about the vibe: a cold and futuristic atmosphere that takes the listener to another planet. However, his technical skills are not outdone: he allies a complex and intricating sound design with precise mixdowns.

Recently, this newcomer released a solo EP on Dispatch (Driven EP) and a collab one with Ewol and Grey Code on Methlab (BNKR008). These two EP’s definitely identified his style and are a very good start for his career. One can already hear the Alix Perez, Skeptical or even Fre4knc influences. A few weeks ago, he created a new collective named Music Squad with some other producers but also good friends. They have already brought out a VA compilation.

Focus on ‘Driven EP’

The 5 track project is Skylark’s premiere EP, choosing Dispatch since it matches perfectly his deep style. The producer focused particularly on finding these unusual grooves that make his tracks so original. Moreover, this first release really prints his step into the scene. Noisia also reposted the very dark tune Funktion on their radio, placing him definitely as a growing new talent.

Tracklist:

1. Skylark – “Driven”

2. Skylark & ENKK – “Cold Breath”

3. Skylark – “Funktion”

4. Skylark – “The Void”

5. Skylark, Nexus & Tight – “Vision”
