Evian Christ

About

Evian Christ isn't just a producer; he's a sonic architect dismantling and rebuilding electronic music with a brutalist's eye for structure and a romantic's ear for melody. The UK-based artist, born Josh Leary, forged his path from the fringes of experimental sound into the mainstream consciousness, largely thanks to his contributions to Kanye West's *Yeezus*. His sound, a visceral blend of trance euphoria, industrial clang, and hyperreal textures, defies easy categorization. Think Arca meets Giorgio Moroder in a scrapyard rave. Leary's breakthrough came with early EPs like *Kings and Them*, showcasing a deconstructed, almost violent approach to dance music. His ascent to wider recognition accelerated after collaborations with West on "I'm In It," and the subsequent G.O.O.D. Music compilation, *Cruel Summer*. While maintaining a solo career marked by the critically acclaimed *Waterfall* EP, Leary has continued to push boundaries with sound design for high-fashion brands and conceptual art installations. Evian Christ's impact resonates in the way he's challenged notions of genre and accessibility, blurring the lines between the avant-garde and the accessible. His recent ventures include the TranceParty events, underlining his dedication to the genre while injecting it with his signature subversive edge. He remains a pivotal figure in contemporary electronic music, always on the cusp of his next sonic demolition and reconstruction.
