The Thing about Nosaj

Recent Projects: Kid Cudi, The xx, Charlotte Gainsbourg & Beck

Nosaj Thing’s offbeat and hypnotic electronic music reminds us what it is that makes experimental music deserving of its name. At 26, the Los Angeles-native- also known as Jason Chung- uses his DJing and musical background to create beats that are as experiential as they are cinematic. Currently on the road with his Apogee Duet 2 playing gigs across The United States, Nosaj’s mobile rig is up to par and as reliable as he needs it to be, night after night.

“Even when I’m home and I’m in my studio, I want to be surrounded by things that make me feel comfortable.”

Nik Kozub is a bass player, songwriter, engineer and producer, who plays with Shout Out Out Out, a dance punk group whose lineup of two drummers and four bassists is unusual, to say the least. “We play primarily electronic music, with a strong focus on analog synthesizers. While I do generally mix in the box, I like to run a lot of analog effects in my mix for character and a bit of murkiness.”

Despite his love for lo-fi, getting a clean signal for the wide variety of sources he has in the studio is of the utmost importance, and Nik chose an ISA428 for main tracking purposes, “It frankly just sounds great. The pres are clean, but not sterile by any stretch, and you can really change their tonal color a lot with the switchable impedance. I am also a huge fan of the sweepable high pass filter. It is really, really smooth and musical, and allows me to filter while I track very intuitively using my ears, saving me time in the mixing process. I track a lot of analog synths and drum machines through the ISA pres, and they absolutely excel in this role, my synths sound meaty and full, and I find it very easy to get my synths to sit well in the mix.”
