Vale-Smith defines his musical style as an 'introverted playground', crafting tangled and busy dance music that, as far as Vale-Smith is concerned, is the purest escapism there is.
Inspired by the bouncy rhythms & bright melodies of the Future Bass/IDM/Techno/House music that shaped him, he learned how to make beats on Garageband at 17 years old.
This journey lead to projects that would inch closer to bringing forward the energetic spark that Vale had in his mind from the start. With each record, he's exploring sound design in a new way. Whether it's through harsh vocal chops or with more introspective and warm sounds, Vale is always confidently expressing the production chops he's gained since he started, making complex and dazzling beats occasionally leaning towards IDM.
His latest work "electronic music!" is out now, a 43 minute love letter to the excitable language in audio production Vale-Smith has carved out for himself. Treating his DAW as the boundless toy that it is, "electronic music!" relishes in the obnoxious, the playful and the sincere. It touts itself as his most fun release yet, but as per usual the heart underneath it all is what ties it together. Listen to "electronic music!" on your DSP of choice.
