Dazion (NL)

Since the release of his debut EP ‘Don’t Get Me Wrong’ early 2017, Cris Kuhlen aka Dazion has been a man in demand. The fabulous response to that record, which perfectly showcased his love of “goofy” drum machine percussion, kaleidoscopic analogue synthesizers, battered guitar effects pedals, lilting melodies and humid special effects, has seen attention fall on a producer whose exotic and far-sighted musical vision is deliciously difficult to pigeonhole. Kuhlen likes to work predominantly with unloved and little known electronic hardware. These hulking beasts form a key part of his computer-free live shows, in which he performs semi-improvised jams full of heavy percussion hits and spooky synthesizer noises.
