doss

Doss fuses euphoric trance with uplifting house and atmospheric drum'n'bass to create dance-pop that conjures the feeling of flight. The elusive producer-vocalist issued a widely praised self-titled EP in 2014, worked alongside SOPHIE and Ryan Hemsworth, and resurfaced in 2021 with 4 New Hit Songs.

Based in New York, the artist first surfaced through remixes for How to Dress Well and Wildarms; Acéphale then put out her debut EP, Doss, in 2014. Its buoyant, ecstatic dance numbers and rave-flyer visuals evoked the '90s while gesturing ahead—one Recycle Culture rework of the lead single "The Way I Feel" carried the title "Hyperpop Remix" years before the label entered common parlance. Doss also appeared on Ryan Hemsworth's track "Surrounded," taken from the EP Alone for the First Time. In 2018 she joined SOPHIE on tour and reworked the track "Whole New World." She later delivered DJ sets for Porter Robinson's virtual festival Secret Sky and Lady Gaga's online album-release event in 2020. Her extended return arrived via the LuckyMe-released 4 New Hit Songs, spanning dream trance to shoegaze-tinged pop.
