Jazz-trained musician and electronic producer EVDN. unveils his latest single “KALKIS NIGHTMARE,” a track that seamlessly blends funky breaks with a rolling synth bass line. As the track progresses, layers of synth leads build a textured soundscape, complemented by a saxophone element that adds a rich harmonic layer. The result is a track that beautifully marries jazz and electronic music, showcasing EVDN.’s ability to create a groove that feels both innovative and timeless.
“KALKIS NIGHTMARE” is part of EVDN.’s ambitious project to release one single each month until the end of 2024, culminating in his sophomore LP. This creative challenge follows the success of his debut LP TENSION/RELEASE, which garnered praise from BBC Radio, KCRW, and earned him a spot on Spotify’s Fresh Finds: Jazz.

His musical journey began at 16 when he picked up his first bass guitar, and since then, he has developed a unique sound that combines his jazz training with a deep passion for electronic music.
