AETHER
aka Diego Chavez
Biography
Aether is the alias of Diego Chavez, a graphic designer and music producer
based out of San Antonio, TX. Chavez also records under the monikers;
Otic Angst and A.M. Architect in addition to producing tracks for the
conscious based hip hop group Lotus Tribe and rock band The Panic Division.
And yes you are right...he doesn't sleep.
As
a child, Diego spent the scorching Texas summer days at his
father’s
art studio conversing with painters, surfing the internet,
and daydreaming. While in high school, Chavez began skipping school
to host jam sessions in his garage with his friends. Then came
along Wu-Tang and Fruityloops and Chavez began making beats
for
his friends to freestyle to. It wasn't long before Chavez's
sound began to mature and find a life of its own.
Chavez
is a diverse producer capable of making rock, downtempo, hip
hop, electro and experimental music but there is definitely
a signature sound that carries throughout. Most of Chavez's
music
is structured around the gritty boom bap sound of East Coast
hip hop but there is also a dreamy and romantic soulfulness
that inhabits each song. "Artifacts", Chavez's first
full length solo album, is no different. Each song on the album
is
lovingly sculpted and an expression of beauty, love, tragedy,
hope and everything else that makes us human.
Chavez
is quickly making a name for himself, having already released
a handful of tracks on Exponential compilations as well as
remixing and producing for various artists. His remix of Lykke
Li's, "Little
Bit" has already garnered much love from critics and listeners
alike. It's no wonder that Chavez is considered to be one of
the new producers to look out for.
