Cloudchord (Derek VanScoten) is a producer, guitarist, Emmy-winning composer, and genre bending specialist that is augmenting musical possibility into reality with his remarkable technical skills. His remarkable skills on the guitar give a refreshing take on atmospheric dance music and psychedelic beats. While known to many as a vibey downtempo & lofi artist (130M+ streams as of 2023), Cloudchord’s range expands beyond any particular genre ideology. This past year saw him dropping funky disco with Big Gigantic, boom bap anthems with Emancipator, feel good hip hop with ProbCause, and intergalactic house with the Disco Biscuits. Live performances incorporate looping, remix sing-alongs, energetic dance numbers, and memorable guitar hero moments. Past festival performances include Envision, Secret Dreams, Gem and Jam, Resonance, Camp Bisco, and Sonic Bloom. Additional collaborators include Braxton Cook, Dirtwire, Sunsquabi, Lettuce, Birocratic, East Forest, Shrimpnose, Random Rab and Ian Ewing.
