Sage DeVault, out of orange county, california. Depeche Mode and Daft Punk are the two names he keeps returning to, which tells you most of it. dark, cinematic, emotionally loaded dance music.
his remix of DJ Snake and Lauv's "A Different Way" in december 2017 is what opened it up, going to number one on spotify's mint playlist. then came four conceptual tapes, JADE, SAPPHIRE, RUBY and DIAMOND TAPE, each with its own visual half.
2025 is when he tore it up and started again.
The goal this year for me was to completely rewire my brain and approach to dance music and make things that directly fit in a club atmosphere.

it worked. "Feels Like Us" landed on John Summit's Experts Only that november and became his biggest record. "Zero" with Kučka followed on Insomniac in february, then "SHADES OF BLUE" on Summit's album in april.
After the energy and response to 'Feels Like Us,' I wanted to create something that extends that vibe but is more energetic and vibrant.
