Byzanite

Byzanite began after going solo from an experimental electronic duo in early 2009. The name Byzanite came from him scrolling through a friend's Myspace page in 2007 and misreading the word "Byzantine", it was in his head that whether 'Byzanite' was a word or not, it would make a great name for an electronic artist. Starting from the bottom of the chipmusic community, Byzanite soon made a name for himself with a fast paced, euphoric & melodic "4 to the floor" style which has derivative elements of hardstyle, trance, dubstep & house just to name a few.
