Beauty, drama, and dignity: 100+ deeply expressive Serum 2 presets from German electronic, rap & pop experimentalist DJH, inspired by faulty digital hardware, the sound of poorly optimized early software synths, aliasing & clock sync errors as a deliberate aesthetic choice. These sounds are “focused on the transmogrification of pristine, mathematically exact tones into a more murky realm, where strange shapes and allusions begin to reveal themselves, without chasing any distinctly 'retro' tones.” Utilizing extensive multisamples of the Moog Matriarch, Nord Rack 2, Alesis Micron, Elektron Monomachine, Elektron Analog Four & various 90s synth wavetables as source material, DJH pushes the limits of Serum 2's closed system, heavily employing non-linear behaviors & feedback modes to create organically playable patches that play like instruments. The German producer and DJ has steadily mapped a unique sonic terrain with a sharp instinct for radiant, melancholic melodies, seismic bass & glistening distortion. His restless drive to elevate along genre axes can be heard on landmark releases like FKA twigs' Grammy-winning 'EUSEXUA' & Playboi Carti's 'MUSIC', his 4 solo albums, and 3 Moment packs (Bismuth Reliquary, Riser Stars, Deck Thrashers XR).
