Geskia

Geskia is undoubtedly the master of Japanese underground hip-hop and breakbeats. He started off his journey of sound making in 2001, and became a part of the down-beat unit “coma5”. Although Geskia’s music style is heavily influenced by industrial music (especially by Industrial icons like Coil and Einstruzende Neubauten), trip-hop movement and techno music, but by listening to the unique music that he has been creating, one can indubitably tell that Geskia has already established his very own distinctive music style and philosophy, and it has begun to mesmerize many people, including his fellow artists.

Geskia’s music concept is to reproduce the life around him, to reflect the connections of him with others, and to manifest his perspective about the world. Many established artists spoke highly of Geskia’s wonderful talent, including Dose-One (anticon, subtle, 13 & God), who described Geskia’s music as “very pretty, very well-made”.
It is Geskia’s aims to produce his music by using his sixth sense and subconscious connection with deliberate feelings. “To express those tiny magical moments in life with music”.

PRESS QUOTES

Calm and mellow, while solid and rhythmic, Geskia makes music easy and complex at the same time and is highly recommended to all.- No Ripcode

 

advanced underground hip hop and post-IDM electronica…powerfully constructed elegance – Boomkat


Geskia’s palette consists of soaring melodies and ambience, brought down to Earth by glitchy, twittering jitters of rhythm and bass…Geskia had all the means necessary to translate his vision into an aural odyssey, a strolling tour inside a colorful, expressive mind.
 – FiveEight

 

What Geskia has managed to do is create an incredibly accomplished offering. – The Silent Ballet

 

Geskia leapfrogs from techno, to bleary ambient passages and hip-hop inspired breakbeats in an exciting and perfectly judged performance. – Cyclic Defrost

 

Le temps de mettre tout cela en forme étant arrivé, on croise les doigts afin que Geskia n’accouche pas d’un monstre hideux, d’une aberration polymorphe dont les membres ne sauraient tenir ensemble par un trop plein d’associations, à première vue, incongrues. – Liability
