Discovery Music: Projections

Projections is an ongoing DJ mix series dedicated to showcasing Discovery Project alumni who continue to push boundaries with their music.

The Discovery Project has unearthed some outstanding talent over its four-year history. And while winning the competition does open up a spot on one of the most watched stages in the world, it certainly doesn’t mean the victors can get off that grind. Since winning in 2015, DIV/IDE have carried on with their nonstop hustle—the one that originally placed them squarely in the spotlight via their fierce, low-slung beats and engaging onstage antics.

We wanted to give the boys a chance to remind us why they have become key players in the Discovery Project fam (they already have two DP releases to their credit). On their Projections mix, they rip and roll through a multi-genre journey of deep grooves, large beats and grungy-ass bass. Of course, they’ve thrown in plenty of their own originals, collabs, remixes and edits for good measure. Here’s what Jayson and Anthony had to say about the mix:

Our journey began with a SoundCloud message that said, “Collab bro?” We then began to work together and soon realized how well we complemented each other’s sound. Winning the Discovery Project and playing EDC Las Vegas was a pivotal moment in our career. Since then, we have been working harder and striving to be the musicians we want to be. We work with the mindset that there is always something to learn and that we can always better our sound.

For us, this mix was a lot of fun to make. We included a lot of our favorite tracks at the moment into this mix and even incorporated a few unreleased tunes of our own. We were even lucky enough to be able to include a lot of unreleased material from our good friends. This mix is an honest reflection of how we’ve grown and evolved as artists, as it includes old and new works from our portfolio and tracks from the friends we’ve made along the way. We are really excited for the future and truly thankful to be a part of Insomniac’s Discovery family.
