BIOGRAPHY

KSNX, alias to Kristo Kassin, is an electronic music producer from Estonia.

Expect to hear dubstep, drum and bass, techno, downtempo, house or even ambient from him.

If you wish to know more, we need to go back in time...


In his early years, he was first introduced to electronic music and its creation with Magix Music Maker and eJay. After that it was "game over". Young Kristo found himself enjoying putting together different samples to create something that resembled a commercial song.


Fast-forward to 2006-07 when teenager Kristo was re-introduced to music creation with Image-Line's FL Studio. He experienced his childhood excitement again and decided to dedicate himself into developing this into a real passion. At that time, bassy and deep dubstep was his greatest influence. It was also time to choose his first alias as a producer - KRio.


It took few years of learning before he became confident enough to start sharing his creations with others. Although, many of his "training songs" ended up taking space on his computer, few managed to get picked up by prolific Estonian musical influence label Lejal Genes / Globe. Lejal Globe brings Estonian music to wider public and Kristo's songs, namely Interceptor and Escape Route were chosen and featured on Estonia's first dubstep compilation album called Eesti Dubstep. After that, a marketing agency chose Kristo's Escape Route song to be featured in Estonia's established beer brand Saku's upcoming beer commercial. Next, Kristo's song, Galactic Dreams, was featured on Lejal Globe's second outing of Estonian Dubstep music in Vol 2 of Eesti Dubstep. As KRio, he built a small following for himself with local audiences and with a brief DJ career exposure.


By this time, Kristo had developed a certain, even recognizable, style with his love for the lower frequencies and space-like sounds, reverby arps, blips and blops. He finds ways to pull together sounds that shouldn't merge, creating an interesting audible dynamic. The result is an experience of time, space, progression and story.


After several years of "soul searching", Kristo realized he must return to music creation and is now back under a new alias, KSNX, to bring his recent audio and musical creations to a more broader set of unsuspecting ears with the help of modern digital distribution and support of his fans. Kristo's new dubstep song, Distant Reflection, was once again featured on Estonia's Dubstep 4th compilation album.


Although his history with dubstep genre is wholesome, he wishes to experiment with different musical styles such as drum and bass, techno, downtempo, house and even ambient to push his creative limits. He hopes to bring his recent audio and musical creations to a more  broader set of unsuspecting ears.


Due to an eventual confusion with KRio name he has now chosen to go forward as KSNX.
