DTOMP Puts His Spin on “Chrystal - The Days” With a High-Energy, Relaxed Vibe Edit
Written by Justin Kaufmann
From the sun-drenched streets of Palm Springs, California, DTOMP continues to elevate his sound and presence in the electronic music scene with the release of Chrystal - The Days (DTOMP Edit). Known for his vibrant, bass-driven edits and precise control over emotional dynamics, DTOMP has once again showcased his distinct sonic fingerprint—this time on a track that instantly caught his attention.
“I really loved the vibe and vocals of this track right from the start,” DTOMP shares, talking about the inspiration behind the edit. It wasn’t just the melody or lyrics that drew him in—it was a feeling. That feeling sparked a creative journey that resulted in a rework filled with depth, bass, and subtle complexity that offers a fresh twist while honoring the original.
Building Tension and Bass with Precision
Where the original leaned into softness and emotion, DTOMP’s edit pushes boundaries. “I added a lot more tension and bass,” he says. “Some nice flutter synths and edited the vocals quite a bit.” The result is an energetic yet tranquil remix that straddles the line between festival banger and late-night driving anthem.
That duality—energy mixed with calm—is no accident. DTOMP is intentional with every sound he sculpts, and his creative process reflects that level of care. “I make everything on Logic Pro X and usually start all my tracks with drums and a bass pattern,” he explains. “Then I work the track up from there.” This approach lays a strong rhythmic foundation that allows him to add in layers of texture, emotion, and power.
SoundCloud as a Sonic Canvas
Like many underground and indie artists, DTOMP continues to lean into SoundCloud as the go-to destination for sharing edits and bootlegs. “I love SoundCloud and it’s the main place I go when it comes to posting my edits,” he says. “SoundCloud has been around forever and I feel like it’s still growing.”
The platform, which has long been a haven for experimental sounds and genre-bending creativity, has allowed DTOMP to build a fanbase that thrives on fresh ideas and forward-thinking production. “Yeah absolutely,” he says when asked if this track will become a staple in his live sets. “I’ve played it at a lot of my shows already and love the reaction that I’ve been getting from people.”
And if you’ve ever been to one of his shows, you know how DTOMP’s sets blend emotion and groove in a way that gets crowds moving without ever losing a sense of atmosphere. His edit of “The Days” fits seamlessly into this philosophy, delivering just the right mix of chill and charged.
Beyond the Edit: What’s Next?
While this remix isn’t necessarily teasing a full project, DTOMP confirms that original music is on the way. “It’s just a great song that I had a wonderful time remixing,” he says, “but there is some new original work that is about to come out really soon.”
But don’t let that casual energy fool you—DTOMP is hustling. His schedule is already filling up following a standout appearance during Coachella season. “I have a new residency at The Saguaro Pool in Palm Springs, California,” he reveals. “I’ll be there about once a month for the rest of the summer.” It’s a perfect match—vibrant daytime sets, poolside energy, and of course, a home crowd that already vibes with his sound.
For New Listeners: Start with “MIND”
For those just discovering DTOMP—whether through this remix or a Coachella set—he has one recommendation: “Check out my new single MIND.” The track is a great starting point for understanding his signature style: powerful drums, atmospheric pads, haunting vocals, and a vibe that lingers long after the song ends.
“MIND” represents everything that DTOMP is about as an artist. It’s emotional but controlled, moody but still danceable. It’s clear he’s carving out a lane of his own, and as he continues to refine his sound and expand his audience, more people are starting to pay attention.
Final Thoughts
With the release of Chrystal - The Days (DTOMP Edit), DTOMP continues to prove that he has both the ear and the energy to flip tracks into something entirely his own. His sound is rooted in intention, his process is organic, and his vibe is distinctly Palm Springs—sunny, cool, and bold.
As the summer heats up and his residency at The Saguaro Pool kicks off, DTOMP is poised to take his next big steps—from local favorite to rising electronic mainstay. And whether it’s through edits, originals, or live sets, one thing is clear: DTOMP is here to make you feel something.
