Ekkstacy on Tour

Solo artist Ekkstacy gives you the cathartic experience that only happens on stage, all while staying true to his melodic and subtle weave of lofi beats and wistful vocals. Ekkstacy is a blast of retro,-- his dreamy, gloomy music threading a lifeline to the past. In concert, he goes for big visuals, like sporting black attire under red lights and smoke, while channeling the magnetic force of uncensored emotion. In his music videos, his retro ambience comes out in full documentary fashion. Video footage plays out with destabilized framing, bleached takes and a melancholic, stark saturation. Static spots interfere with clean takes and the camera feed flickers in and out. In scenes featuring Ekkstacy, his wardrobe calls back to grunge sweaters and baggy tank tops. 

The settings in his videos also recreate a bygone atmosphere. In "i gave you everything," the video is gray scale and jumps across different '80s- reminiscent scenes. One thread shows the band playing in a garage-style outfit, while in another, a teenager wearing a crop top blows dandelion seeds while lying in the grass. The song weaves its way with nostalgia for an increasingly vanishing era.

Ekkstacy brings to his shows a commanding presence, which he delivers through a variety of songs and an arc of emotions. His offhand iIndie tone only complements this intensity, providing enough softness to convey gripping loneliness or existential fear with his moody arrangements.

Ekkstacy Live in Concert

Ekkstacy is a Canadian solo artist. Some of his influences include The Drums and Joy Division. Ekkstacy has succeeded on YouTube with several songs reaching hundreds of thousands of views. His tracks are also a hot pick for remixes and loops, speaking to their therapeutic resonance with so many fans. His lyrics are straightforward and emotive, foregoing scenic exposition and wordplay in favor of direct, raw expressions.

His passion is also clear in his attention to detail. In his extended play 2021 album, Negative, the titles of his songs make up a short, telegraph-like poem. Put together, the titles say: "i walk this earth all by myself / then i met her / it only gets worse, i promise / i want to be by your side / for forever / but there is always hatred / in love." Ekkstacy seems to put careful detail into each aspect of music production.

Ekkstacy's songs include "Still Breathing" featuring HEALTH, as well as "I Guess" featuring See You Next Year.
