Long Version

Crystal Chemist, the brainchild of Sedrick Gomis (Threatnique) and Katiana Silkiss (iKATANA), bring together German/Malaysian and Greek/Ukrainian roots, making Sydney their musical haven. Inspired by dub bass, world rhythms, and jazz, they craft a signature fusion of Aegyo-Dub, Hypno-Electronica, Trip Hop, and Down-Tempo Vibes, pushing genre boundaries at every turn.

Their collaboration began spontaneously, sparked by an experimental session that led them into uncharted creative territory. For Sedrick and Katiana, music isn’t just passion—it’s an essential expression of life itself. Their compositions weave themes of quirkiness, consciousness, and hypnotism, inviting listeners on a journey of self-discovery, wrapped in warmth and mystique. Influences range from the crackle of vinyl and chamomile tea to the plights mankind faces, and how to feel and grow past any obstacle.

In live performances, Crystal Chemist transforms the stage into an electrifying experience—melding hypnotic grooves with dance-driven energy. Their dynamic sets have taken them to Marrickville Festival, DirtFest 1 and 2, Sydney Olympic Park for the Women’s World Cup, and two pop-up festivals in ACT, marking them as a rising force in the scene.

Ever-evolving, Crystal Chemist continues to push sonic boundaries, crafting music that’s both immersive and emotionally resonant—prescribing a daily dose of sound for any mood or vibe. Like the many facets of a crystal, their sound shifts and shines, reflecting the depth of human experience.
