Montreal producer/singer/composer and Oneohtrix Point Never protégé makes his debut, with sounds borrowed from electro, R&B, and piano house.
Montreal producer/singer/composer D'eon started making synthesizer music when he was four years old, continuing through years of formal music training before dropping his studies entirely as a teenager. He developed acute forms of anxiety and agoraphobia, which he worked out, then went to the Himalayas to study Tibetan music, living in a monastery and not speaking for months. Since then, he's integrated himself within the burgeoning underground experimental scene; Daniel Lopatin, aka synth-drone alchemist Oneohtrix Point Never, even brought him and his music to of-the-moment label Hippos in Tanks.
