Introducing an astounding artist known as MKSTN is a hidden gem in Toronto’s electronic music scene. Having been raised in the heart of downtown, his music reflects the diversity of the city and its many different sounds, subcultures, and standpoints. Though multifarious in texture, “hazy nostalgia” is the best, most all-encompassing way to describe MKSTN’s sound. Chillwave, Dream Pop, and Lo-fi House influence all come together in his sentimental yet euphoric melodies ranging from dark to uplifting. Because of this, his work shines as standalone instrumentals but outdoes itself when created in collaboration with other artists. When MKSTN isn’t creating or performing, he is transcending the boundaries of space and time. With the release of his newest single “Desires”, he presents a nostalgic sound that will certainly grasp your attention. Beginning with dreamy instrumentation leading onto his sweet and sultry vocals he captures the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about a love promise between two. Taking that leap of faith of following each other’s desires to be with one another even though it may be just temporary. He wanted to capture the excitement, nervousness, and butterflies that come with going for “it” even if it has never worked in the past… the anticipation of making the right or wrong decision. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you vibing. Being just perfect for a late-night drive or spending time with your lover. Go stream “Desires” and check out his discography which is filled with amazing music.
