Hausman, the moniker of Devon Ausman, represents the technical vanguard of modern progressive trance and house. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, his work is defined by a sophisticated understanding of electronic production and design, often utilizing Ableton and Max to create bespoke textures.
His sound identity is a hybrid: it retains the emotional uplift of classic trance but grounds it with the aggressive, textured basslines of electro and the rhythmic complexity of melodic techno. Since his 2016 debut, he has navigated the elite tiers of the genre, securing releases on powerhouse labels like Anjunabeats, Monstercat, and Armada. His career arc saw a significant shift in 2017 with support from Above & Beyond, positioning him as a key figure in the 'Anjunafamily' ecosystem. Critically, he is noted for his ability to bridge the gap between 'deep' and 'mainstage' sounds, maintaining a high degree of musicality through complex chord progressions that reflect his academic background. He remains a prolific remixer and original producer, consistently pushing the boundaries of progressive structures.
