Def Sonic blurs genres with trippy tones, layered beats, samples/loops, synths with percussive strums/heartfelt vocal melodies.
"Madison based recording artist Def Sonic (DS) started because of insomnia which you can kind of hear in the music. All of Johan’s stuff lives in "The Land Of Nod." It’s like yacht rock heard faintly through the walls of a sensory deprivation tank. Like his music, DS is warm, inviting and something of a mystery. Don’t bother trying to solve it. The mystery is the answer." —Free Dirt
