CRXSH 

CRXSH is an electro-acoustic duo made up of trumpeter Ashley Ballat and drummer / producer Odyssey Zelno. Melting together vignettes of crisp dance beats, dark melodies and industrial electronics, the pair present contemporary rhythms and textures with the flow and freedom of fluid improvisation. Odyssey Zelno’s influence from jungle, trap and D&B, mixed with Ballat’s background in experimental avant-garde and extended trumpet technique create a unique new sound on the Australian music scene.
