Trisicloplox is climbing the Denver EDM ladder

he Denver club scene is littered with DJs who don’t write
any original tunes, or whose only aim is to please the crowd with the music
they like and keep the dance floor moving. However, just beneath the surface in
the underground dubstep scene spearheaded by Denver’s own Sub.mission
promotional group, lurks artists like Trisicloplox, who strive for artistic
integrity and originality.

Local DJ and producer Trisicloplox recently released an EP
entitled Clear Sinister on tape
through his very own Villa Göth record label. The sounds are dark, low and
extremely minimal, and the format is simple and straightforward, as well as much
more permanent than the fleeting staying power of the digital-only track that
is so popular in the EDM scene. Trisicloplox works to create simple 140
beat-per-minute bass music with tinges of the industrial, inspired mainly by
The Crystal Method and Gothtrad. He also prides himself on playing mostly
all-original sets live, a feat most young DJs do not even attempt.

“I like to play Crystal Method, Gothtrad, Gantz and LORN
live, as well as trap and club music, but mostly I like to play my own tunes,”
he relates. While Trisicloplox mostly produces music using his Mac and Logic
Pro 9, a Digital Audio Workstation, he also enjoys using some hardware and
recently started experimenting with a Microkorg to make beats.

Trisicloplox has been making music in some form or another
since middle school, “In eighth grade, I’d have to stay after school and I’d
stay in the computer lab and f*ck around on Garageband. Then the kids at school
would find my projects on the computer later and encourage me to continue
making music. In my junior year of high school, I started concentrating on it
seriously.”

Outside of creating bass heavy music to release and play
live at Sub.mission shows, he also has a few other projects in the works. “I
make samplework hip-hop instrumentals as well as dubstep, and then some
124-to-the-floor stuff, but I keep it to myself. I also make trap, and that’s
primarily how I got started seriously producing.”

Trisicloplox has been billed as an opening act with Sub.mission
several times, and had played with artists he looked up to. “I opened for
Biome, and that was really cool,” he reports. “I also got to open for Great
Dane.” He hopes to continue playing local shows as he grows in popularity, and
aims to play all original songs whenever possible in his live set.

Trisicloplox is a Colorado native and a big supporter of the
cannabis industry, citing “weed” as his only influence on his Facebook page.
“It’s like in all scenes really,” he said in response to a question about how
cannabis fits in to the underground dubstep scene. “ I think in the underground
it kind of helps to keep it underground—nice and mellow.”

He also feels cannabis plays a big part in his creative
process. “I don’t really smoke when I start playing a new tune,” he says. “But
to track the song, in the later part of the process, I smoke a ton. It helps me
to solidify things at the end of the song.” He is also in full support of the
all the legalization that has taken place in Colorado over recent years. “Just
make it cheaper,” he laughs. “It’s still too expensive.”

Trisicloplox is a unique and innovative artist who breaks
the mold and challenges perceptions of what a Denver electronic musician is,
and he is also an advocate and avid member of the cannabis
community. There is no doubt he will be doing new things and creating new music
all throughout 2015.
