Dubspot Student Music Spotlight: LA Sound Design Course

This Dubspot Student Music Spotlight showcases some outstanding music created by students enrolled in the Sound Design Program at Dubspot LA. Check out the latest work from Midnight Resonance, Fick Stigure, and Rizumm.

Midnight Resonance feat. Kayda | Morpheus

“Morpheues is a collaboration between Midnight Resonance and Kayda. We wrote this during our Sound Design class at Dubspot. We pulled ideas from many different influences; crafting sounds from Techno to Dubstep – creating some sort of mysterious mental illness trip with heavy basses and dark synth line” – Ric

Fick Stigure | Beyond Reason

“We made this song during our Sound Design course at Dubspot as a class project. With this project, we wanted to try something different that was out of our comfort zone and took a lot of influence from Zomboy and Kill the Noise. We took what we learned in class and pushed our boundaries with new sounds that took influence from known dubstep artists.

Rizumm | How Ya Feeling

“I’m currently a student at Dubspot, and I collaborated on this track with fellow student and producer Jose. It is a dynamic, energetic track that will get the floor moving” – Riley
