Aegis (HYTKY)
Aegis is, first and foremost, a music nerd who can’t stop even if he had nine millimeters of steel aimed at his forehead. The poor sod is addicted to collecting obscure and forgotten dance records like a crackhead. Little did he know 10 years ago after buying his first jungle compilation CD that he’d be spending half of all his spare time digging through Discogs, record shops, thrift stores… looking for the perfect beat. Chasing the dragon. Fiending to discover another little known treasure that gets the crowd jumping.
Recently emigrated from Vantaa to Tampere, Aegis serves a dish of mostly American house sounds from the 90’s with bits and pieces of everything deep, Detroit, disco and such on the side. Or then he might play something completely different. Such is the sum of the equation made up of a wide music taste and a small attention span.
The other half of his spare time is of course dedicated to making beats, drinking beer and talking shit on the Internet, like any other sensible electronic music maker living in the post-millennial ages.
