Skit creates a sonic world that feels perpetually caught in the blue hour. It is music that occupies the space between the physical city and a digital dreamscape, characterized by vast, cavernous reverb and basslines that feel like they are vibrating through water. Every track is a masterclass in atmosphere, blending the rhythmic DNA of UK bass music with the emotional weight of cinematic scores.
What truly sets Skit apart is his background in sound design. Rather than relying on standard presets, he builds intricate textures using foley, organic field recordings, and highly manipulated vocal fragments. This gives his work a tactile, high-definition quality where even the silence feels heavy and intentional. It is the sound of neon lights reflecting in puddles: cold, bright, and beautiful.
For those new to the wave movement, his 2014 album Eyes Like Mirrors is the essential entry point. It captures the foundational 'wave' sound before it became a global internet phenomenon, offering a perfect balance of trap-influenced percussion and melancholic synth-work that rewards deep, focused listening.
