After taking a massive step forward with his five-song project, Bloom, Denver-based producer and multi-instrumentalist John Hayes, continued to expand his own sonic boundaries with his 3 track EP, Dawn Creek. Across these tracks, Hayes immerses himself in the world of body-moving electronic music, resulting in music that’s energetic and propulsive but still containing the emotive streak that’s marked his work thus far. Recalling the hypnotic dancefloor psychedelia of artists like Jon Hopkins ,Tourist, and Lane 8 Bloom and Dawn Creek make for the start of an exciting new path for Hayes as well as a full realization of his influences and ambitions.

Growing up with the piano as his primary instrument, Hayes eventually abandoned classical studies in college and started immersing himself in the intricacies of score work, as well as the limitless opportunities of electronic music production. Inspired by Nils Frahm’s hybridic neo-classical electronic approach, Hayes has since amassed an impressive and expansive body of work, with releases via. Nettwerk (Neil Frances, il:lo) Western Vinyl (Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Balmorhea) and Moderna (Tom Adams, Lycoriscoris.) Along with his studio releases, Hayes has gained recognition in the Denver electronic scene, known for his live performances. He has shared the stage with prominent artists such as Duskus, Luttrell, Christian Loffler, and Two Lanes.

When Hayes was 23, he lost his best friend to a rare form of cancer—an experience that pushed him dive head-first into his musical ambitions. The result is an inspired sound that is deeply expansive and freeing.
