DJ To Watch: QUIX

The dance music scene in Australia has become a reckoning force in the world of bass music, exponentially growing over the past few years turning out talented artists like What So Not, Flume, and a previous DJ to Watch artist, Alison Wonderland. Much like its sister country, New Zealand has also grown to be one of the more influential forces in the scene, hosting events like the annual hardstyle festival Defqon1, which has put the country on the map when it comes to dance music. Also from this great country is the DJ to Watch: QUIX.

Having garnered support from renowned artists in his genre among the likes of What So Not, Milo & Otis, NGHTMRE, and RL Grime; QUIX is well on his way to reaching global influential levels within the trap realm himself. His use of snares and 808’s is unique in itself; in regards to this QUIX explains via a Reddit AMA,

“For snares – I always make them loud as possible giving them enough compression with some reverb. I sometimes like to search through percussion sample packs and make my snare hits from them. For 808’s – I use samples and heavily EQ them!! Heaps of overdrive – not distortion – overdrive – and some compression gives them the kick it needs.” – QUIX
