German electronic producer Michael Bihler (aka HDSN) utilizes many genres to explore his creativity, although everything he produces has a distinct soulful quality. His early career is defined by deep house and disco cuts, yet his debut album, 2018's To Create Is to Destroy, is far more reliant on downtempo and trip-hop.
Bihler grew up in Halbech, situated in the Bavarian region of Germany; despite the rural surroundings, he found himself drawn to music coming out of Detroit, specifically taking to Moodymann, Omar-S, Theo Parrish, and Andres. With early experiments into music production underway he moved to Munich, only to move to Manchester, U.K. shortly afterwards. It was in the Northern part of England that Bihler released his debut singles "Naked Naked," "Cashmere Cat," and "Can You Dig It." He struggled to get them picked up by any existing labels, so he created his own in NBAST (Nothin' But a Soul Thing). The following year saw the release of his debut EP, 2016's Money, Sex & Cadillacs, released shortly before Bihler returned to Germany, dividing his time between Berlin and Munich. For his debut album, 2018's To Create Is to Destroy, Bihler chose to explore genres that were not strictly dancefloor-friendly, resulting in a record with a bigger focus on downtempo and trip-hop references. ~ Liam Martin
