filous - filous – Dawn EP
“How Hard I Try (featuring James Hersey)” the debut original track from breakout Austrian producer filous, is now available on SoundCloud. The track will be featured on Dawn, filous’ first EP of original music, on July 17, and now available for preorder with “How Hard I Try” as an instant download.
18-year-old producer filous rose to prominence with the release of several bootleg remixes tallying up a remarkable 45 million streams between them. With remixes including RAC’s “Tear You Down,” Jose Gonzales’ “Heartbeats” and Porter Robinson’s “Divinity,” filous has amassed six Hype Machine #1 spots in a matter of months. His remix of Damien Jurado’s “Ohio” alone has 16 million streams.
Beginning his music education at the age of 10, filous taught himself to play the bass, guitar and piano before moving on to the harmonica, accordion, didgeridoo and many more—learned entirely from YouTube tutorials. At age 16 he created the moniker filous, meaning “rascal” in French, to release his remixes online. Breaking the mold of the traditional electronic artist, with the exception of the kick drum every instrument heard on the Dawn EP was played and recorded acoustically by filous himself.
