Brought up as a Classical pianist in Pennsylvania, MitiS, aka Joseph Torre performs a live set that combines his production chops and piano roots to get the absolute best of both worlds. He’s an artist in the purest sense, pouring his soul into every release. And as his vision of the world becomes more refined, so does his writing. Torre says, "I just want to share good music, have it be through performance or a small, simple social setting. Music is what I do, I wouldn't change that for anything. Have it be a Chopin piece playing in a hall, or a bass kickin the club's ass, I'm down for either." He may be down for either, but really excels at a strong combination of both. "I find myself unable to stop making phat basses, heavy beats,and throwing melodies into the mix… I can't think of anything else more appetizing; It's the new age Classical." Many a fan has told Torre that they can recognize a MitiS song by its first note, the supreme compliment for any musician. ➤ William Black william.black/#merch soundcloud.com/williamblack facebook.com/itswilliamblack/ twitter.com/itswilliamblack instagram.com/williamblac William Black was born and raised in Orange County.

Louisiana-native Britian Holcomb and Aaron Dawson of Philadelphia began producing dubstep music on their own, citing household melodic names like Seven Lions, Au5, and KOAN Sound as both inspiration and having a heavy influences on their respective styles. After testing solo careers, the pair, long admirers of each other, decided to work together. A few exchanges later, it was obvious there was magic between the two. And ‘Paradise Lost’, their first collaboration, was born. Known for its stunning piano introduction, soothing melodies, and impressive vocals by Abigail, ‘Paradise Lost’ became an immediate success within the Soundcloud community. The two quickly realized the chemistry they had working together, and founded Crystal Skies. Since their formation, they’ve amassed over 3 million plays on Soundcloud, 14.7 million plays on Spotify, and 17.0 million views on Youtube. On top of raw talent, these guys possess an unrelenting work ethic and desire to create new music, which culminated in the release of ‘Never Change’ in 2019 on the Ophelia label. ‘Never Change’ is a versatile track that stays true to Crystal Skies’ melodic dubstep identity while adding touches of darker, electro-bass on the B-sides track with ‘Carbon’. The pair have followed up this track with a collaboration with Au5, and one with Seven Lions, titled ‘Cataclysm’ and ‘Sojourn,’ respectively. Crystal Skies is simply two guys with real talent who want to create music that people will enjoy, and it shows in each track they produce.
