Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Born in Oakland, CA...a city surrounded with deep musical culture, it was only a matter of time until Praktikos started producing his own beats on a fruity loops demo program at home after soaking up influences from the Living Legends (Grouch & Eligh), Zion I, Bonobo and many underground hiphop/electronic music artists.
His style is best described as Downtempo Electronica, which feature smooth experimental drum beats, deep atmospheric bass sounds, and complex melodies starting off simple.
"Departure" (2016) his latest 5-track project featuring influences from Paul Oakenfold, Kaskade, and Bonobo is available now on Bandcamp: https://praktikosmusik.bandcamp.com/album/departure
