LONGER BIOGRAPHY

If you wish to know more, we need to go back in time...


In his early years, he was first introduced to electronic music creation with Magix Music Maker and eJay. After that it was "game over". Young Kristo found himself enjoying putting together different samples to create something that resembled a commercial song.


Fast-forward to 2006-07 when teenager Kristo was re-introduced to music creation with Image-Line's FL Studio. He experienced his childhood excitement again and decided to dedicate himself into developing this into a real passion. At that time, bassy and deep dubstep was his greatest influence. It was also time to choose his first alias as a producer - KRio.


It took few years of learning before he became confident enough to start sharing his creations with others. Although, many of his "training songs" ended up taking space on his computer, few managed to get picked up by prolific Estonian musical influence label Lejal Globe. Lejal Globe brings Estonian music to wider public and Kristo's songs, namely 'Interceptor' and 'Escape Route' were chosen and featured on Estonia's first dubstep compilation album called Eesti Dubstep. Escape Route was also chosen to be in an ad created for Estonia's beer brand (Saku) upcoming beer line (Saku Mahe) ad video. 

Next, his melodic dubstep track called 'Galactic Dreams' was featured on Lejal Globe's second outing of Estonian Dubstep in Vol. 2 of Eesti Dubstep. 


As KRio, he built a small following for himself with local audiences and exposure in the local scene, including a brief dip in a DJ career.

By this time, Kristo had developed a certain, even recognizable style (as some would comment) with his love for the lower frequencies, spaced-out sounds, reverby arps, blips and blops and whatnot. He pulls together sounds that shouldn't really merge - the full spectrum of emotion and/or intensity level. Listeners can experience subtle progression and imagine or insert their own story with each track.


But then life happened and after several years of "soul searching", Kristo realized he cannot stray too far and must return to music creation, but this time, he chose to leave the name KRio into the past and go forward as KSNX. He hopes to bring his new audio and musical creations to a more broader set of ears with the help of modern digital distribution and support of his fans. Even if his history with the genre dubstep is broad, he wishes to experiment with different musical styles such as drum and bass, techno, downtempo, house and even ambient to push his creative limits. 


After his return to form, Kristo's new dubstep track called 'Distant Reflection' was once again featured on Estonia's Dubstep 4th compilation album.

Since then, he has released several EP-s in various genres including a compliation album of his older (but remastered) dubstep tracks.


In 2023, his new full feature 10-track album titled "Level Up" was released on CD, vinyl and digital.


2024 started with the release of volume 2 of 'Lost Sequences' dubstep album series with another set of 12 re-made & re-mastered tracks originally from ~15 years ago.
