Bass music producer and sound design wizard Au5 releases the second single off his debut Ophelia album ‘Bridges Between’.
Midtempo collab “Before You Leave” with producer Cyazon and singer/songwriter Tyler Graves provides bass driven production and cybernetic sound design off Au5’s sixth album.
Au5 has been an undeniably influential force in electronic bass music for over a decade. Au5 (pronounced A-U-Five) is the solo project of Austin Collins – presenting a highly matured balance between intellectual, emotional, and danceable music. From hard hitting technical dubstep, uplifting melodic trance, experimental ambient, and everything in between, Au5 knows no boundaries for passionate musical exploration and expression. Classically trained since age 4 and producing and performing since 13, Austin is a well rounded musician, artist, and educator. He strives to better the world through inspiration – opening minds to what is possible not only within music but within ourselves. From his debut album ‘Minimality’ in 2010 to now, Au5 has been consistent in quality and authenticity with a repertoire of nearly 200 released songs – many with multiple millions of plays. He’s collaborated with legends BT, Tritonal, Slander, Mr. Bill, toured with acts such as Infected Mushroom, Liquid Stranger, Seven Lions, and has music released on numerous labels like Monstercat, Armada, Ophelia, Enhanced, and Wakaan to name a few. “If you’re looking for trendy music, turn away. If you’re looking to embark on a journey, come with me.”
With music that encapsulates the dark undertones of abandoned streetscapes, the blurs of neon lights from Bladerunner’s metropolis, and the lawlessness of a cyberpunk world, it’s no wonder that with every Cyazon release, listeners find themselves stepping foot into a transcendental journey through time, chaos, and self-discovery. Taking it a step further, this artist on the rise fuses sounds from neo-noir films into electronic music, crafting not only his own unique style, but a futuristic world with each powerhouse release.
Each world-altering track moves through music boundaries and cultivates a revolutionary venture through Cyazon’s own hybrid spin on modern dance music, earning him support from industry heavyweights such as Au5 and Zomboy. His debut single,”Neo Soul,” alongside Essenger made its debut on Monstercat and garnered hundreds of thousands of plays. After being praised by critics across all platforms, Cyazon landed on the map as an innovative tastemaker of underground sound. In fact, in 2020, Cyazon was hailed on Monstercat’s very own MCTV Live Stream for his first live DJ set, and landed himself on the front page of the world’s leading live streaming platform, Twitch.
