longstoryshort, the New York DJ and producer’s career is an act of subversion illustrating in real-time that the most compelling art comes from a refusal to conform. This mentality imbues his music, yielding a sound that’s one of zero. It’s nuanced and unconventional, a sonic signature shaped by UK garage, future garage, and bass house influence. Dark, forward-thinking, and deeply resonant, it’s “dance music for the heavy-hearted,” as he calls it — melodic enough to evoke emotion, heavy enough to shake a warehouse at 2 AM. longstoryshort’s rising profile is built on a strong foundation of mostly solo originalproductions that trace back to 2019 and have prompted releases on prominentlabels like Pilot (UKF), NIGHTMODE, and Circus Records. This includes fourEPs and a slate of official remixes for artists including The Bloody Beetroots , Dillon Francis , and ODESZA, to name just a few.
