In Focus brings you a talented upcoming artist that has earned a spot on our radar. We’re scoping out these rising stars from every city, style, and scene.
IN FOCUS: Durante
WHO IS DURANTE?: A self-proclaimed producer, DJ, and Yes Man.
HAILING FROM: Gainseville, FL
DIG IT IF YOU LIKE?: Alex Metric, Codes, Birdy Nam Nam
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?: We don’t know much about Durante yet, but with Skrillex and the OWSLA team on his side there’s no doubt you’ll be seeing a lot more of him this year.
We do know, however, that he’s only 20 years old (according to his Facebook) and producing music in the realm of electrapastepnoton. Durante is also quite the artist, doodling in class instead of paying attention. Tsk tsk Durante! But hey, we can see why he’s a bit preoccupied.
UPCOMING: Durante‘s brand new Challenger EP (listen to the Challenger minimix below!) will be released tomorrow on OWSLA‘s The Nest.
For those of you who aren’t sure what The Nest is – it’s a subscription-based sub-label of OWSLA, launched back on 12/12/12 as a digital fan club. For a few bucks a month, subscribers can receive recordings earlier than the public, free downloads, early access to tickets, merch discounts, and tons more goodies! Learn more here.
UPDATE: The new Challenger EP from Durante is out NOW via OWSLA’s Nest! Listen below!
