Meet Phillip Washington, also known as Cygnus, a Producer & Artist born and raised in Dallas, TX.
"Cygnus (USA) is an electronic musician based in Texas. His influences include electro (to the tune of Man Parrish, Drexciya, ERP, and DMX Krew), IDM and experimental hardcore bass, and more. His 2015 tour with legendary Manchester act Autechre took him around the United States for 30 days. In 2016 he toured Europe, playing alongside the likes of Gerald Donald, DJ Stingray, DMX Krew, Team Doyobi, and Sync24. His technical approach mixes the versatility of software with the touch and feel of hardware to create a timeless mixture of electronic beats and melody. bandcamp: http://cygnusat.bandcamp.com
“Perfectly bridging the gap between street-smart electro DJ tools and more home-listening techno, traces of the electro sound favoured by Warp (think Elektroids and B12 Electro Soma) Cygnus perfectly updates this sound to sit alongside recent gems from MNLTH and EOD.”

“Cygnus has been making waves in the Dallas electronic music scene since his first live appearance over a decade ago, but his music has consistently made greater impact in the international community with releases on various Japanese and British labels. Cygnus’ tunes have even popped up on the charts and mixes of respected techno legend Dave Clarke.” -Wanz Dover

“Invoking scenes from possible intergalactic situations Cygnus runs the four track offering off bit crunched funk, machinic constructs and glistening synth work.”

“Cygnus explores the tropes and memes of early techno and electro: snappy snares, pulsing, wobbling bass and shimmering arpeggios weaved around a futuristic sound and vision.”
