Polish live performer, artist, and curator DEAS releases his debut on Planet Rhythm with “Formation” EP. Known for his otherworldly ability to craft complex soundscapes and improvised loops, DEAS is a multitalented artist who takes pride in his unique approach to techno.

“Formation” offers listeners a sonic journey through four meticulously crafted tracks, showcasing DEAS’ signature style of clinically precise 4/4 techno and inventive groove loops. Each track demonstrates his commitment to exploring new sonic territories while staying rooted in his musical identity.

“‘Formation’ is a celebration of breaking out of the genre canvas. From ‘house’y’ sounds through dub techno to hard groove, the EP takes you on a ride, showcasing the depth and dimensionality of my art.”

Each track on the EP tells a unique story, from the acidic sounds of “Basel,” inspired by the Netherlands’ 90s music scene, to the emotive depth of “Here,” where a carefully manipulated sample serves as the backbone of the composition. “Romance” channels the energy of techno legends like Chris Liebling and Ben Sims, showcasing DEAS’ versatility and reverence for the roots of the genre.

DEAS’ connection to his music goes beyond the norms, as he crafts his own studio gear and even built his own DIY Roland 909 machine. His dedication to authenticity is reflected in the EP’s release on vinyl, a nod to the analog roots of techno and a statement against digitally-focused trends.

As DEAS continues to evolve as an artist, he remains committed to pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo in the techno scene. With “Formation,” he invites listeners to join him on a journey of sonic exploration, where innovation reigns supreme.

Hailed for his experimental studio work and unwavering musical intuition, DEAS has garnered attention from industry trailblazers such as Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, and Luke Slater. His tracks, tested and proven on live audiences worldwide, reflect his dedication to pushing the boundaries of electronic music.

“Formation” is a testament to DEAS’ commitment to authenticity and passion for the craft. As he navigates through different genres and sonic landscapes, his music remains a celebration of creativity.
