Skit, the alias of London-based producer Daniel Bruin, is a pivotal figure in the evolution of the 'wave' genre. Emerging in the early 2010s, his sound bridged the gap between the aggressive leanings of early dubstep/grime and the emotive, synth-heavy landscapes of modern internet-born electronic music.
As a founder of Komorebi Audio, Bruin's influence extends beyond his own discography into the very tools used by the next generation of producers, cementing his reputation as a sound designer first. His career arc shows a transition from the club-adjacent rhythms of his early 2011 releases toward a more expansive, 'cinematic wave' aesthetic seen in Fractal Tears. Critically, he is regarded as a purist within the scene, focusing on high-fidelity production and organic textures rather than the more aggressive 'hardwave' variants. His work is frequently associated with the Wavemob collective, a group instrumental in defining the genre's visual and sonic identity of urban isolation and digital nostalgia.
