In Interview with Deas
Deas is fast becoming one of techno’s most exciting breakthrough artists originating from Eastern Europe. Not yet 30, he has been mastering his production skills for a decade and during this time he developed an impressive studio, where most of his music is recorded live.
His hard work is presently coming into a full effect with the releases of a number of labels ranging from Pan-Pot’s Second State, through Bush Records, OFF Recordings to Kevin Sanderson’s KMS Records and Planet Rhythm. Furthermore, he also receives well-deserved recognition around Europe, with recent appearances at Kompass and Labirynth in Belgium, Ritter Butzke or Sisyphos in Berlin to name few.
We talked to Deas to find out more about what he has been up to.
Digging Deeper with DEAS
Karol Mozgawa, known as DEAS, is one of the most expressive artists of the Polish electronic music scene in the recent years.
Born in Greece, living in Krakow, DEAS grew up in a house where music played no important role. As a teenager he spontaneously came into contact with trip hop music and such bands as Portishead and Massive Attack. Exploring music he meets the work of electronic music producers -Dubfire, Plastikman, Lutzenkirchen, Sebastien Leger and later Robert Hood, Kevin Saunderson and Anthony Rother, who change forever his perception of reality. A young man, fascinated by music, develops interest in club culture and DJing. Soon he started playing in clubs as well as exploring the nature of music – what is sound, how it is produced. While analyzing recordings, he learned about music production and began to develop also in this direction.
Apart from working on his own tracks, which were remixed by such artists as Pig & Dan, Harvey McKay, and Martin Eyerer, he also remixes other artists – including Carl Cox or Inner City. In 2016 he released his first album – Community LP for Bush Records that collected positive reviews from many artists such as Paul Ritch, Pierre Deutschmann, Drumcomplex, Len Faki and many others.
In February he released his Mentality EP (available on Beatport) on Andre Crom’s OFF Recordings, his second release on the label.
