What is it about BASS that does it for you?
I’m not really sure actually, I just know that I have always had a love for music that you can really feel, and there isn’t a much better listening experience to me, then when you can really feel the thumping kick drums or intense sub bass layers in electronic music.
What led you to electronic music with your extensive music background?
As a kid I would stay after school in the computer labs just to mess around and learn garage band and other programs. I was always fascinated by the digital side of music, as well as the technology used to capture and store sounds. Before I actually began producing bass music and electronic music I was simply using these audio workstations to record my guitar work as well as all of the other instruments I enjoy playing.
What is your DAW of choice?
I have always used FL Studio and still do, but I am in the process of diving into Ableton more as well J
Who has been your favorite artist as of late?
All of the new Diplo and Skrillex tunes have been on repeat for the last few weeks for me. Also a big shout out to two of my biggest inspirations and buddies in the scene Bassnectar and Brillz, because all of their stuff has been on repeat as well as used as inspiration for my own work. They are in my opinion, the most innovative in their respective genres.
What advice do you have for aspiring producers?
I still consider myself an aspiring producer, but one thing that I can say to people who are just starting or are thinking of starting to produce their own music, is to explore and make use of all of the tools at their disposal. I am still finding out new ways to improve my sound just by continuing to explore FL Studio.
What’s next in the works for Decadon?
I have been in the studio working on my new EP, which is just about wrapped up, as well as some projects with some of my favorite producers in the game right now, and I am extremely excited for those. Also, we have some incredible shows and festivals coming up this May as well as throughout the summer that I am really looking forward to.
Where did the name come from?
I was actually in a club during high school called DECA and my real name is Donnie, so with time people started calling me DECADON. I liked the sound of it, and I have been using that name for my music career ever since.
What do you like most about living in CO?
The music scene is absolutely incredible. On any night of the week, there are 50+ shows that you can see. Also, I love the people here. We have the best bassheads in the country.
Anything else you’d like to mention?
I would love for everyone to hit me up on all of my social media links, because I love interacting with people who support me, as well as meeting fellow music lovers.
Thanks for having me!
