Skye Ramsay (AKA Skybreak) is a melodic bass producer from New Jersey. His signature melodic style infused with jazz has earned him the support of well-established names in electronic music such as SLANDER, William Black, PhaseOne, Chime and many more. He began playing drums at age 6, sharing numerous jam sessions with his father. Ramsay performed in his school’s jazz band and took several songwriting classes at a local music school. The Skybreak project first took flight in 2016 and has yet to settle down. Scores of Skybreak span across the years, including two full length albums (On the Other Side and Above the Clouds), several EPs and even a few official remixes for names like Dabin, William Black and more. In more recent months, Skye has landed releases with labels such as Disciple, Rushdown, Lowly, Pilot (UKF), Heaven Sent and more. His success should come as no surprise, as Skybreak hits a sweet spot between heavy festival sound design and pure musicality that very few artists can reach.
In this episode, Skye and I talk about his gap year in between high school and college, his recent rebrand, and the impact of gaming on the electronic music scene.
