Cloudchord specializes in augmenting musical possibility. Derek VanScoten is the producer, guitarist and Emmy-winning musician behind Cloudchord. His remarkable technical skills on the guitar give a refreshing take on atmospheric dance music, solidifying Cloudchord’s place in the world of psychedelic chillhop beats. When he isn't producing or touring, he's teaching music production as an Ableton Certified trainer.


For those who enjoy the ethereal sounds of Bonobo, the basslines of FKJ, & slick neo guitar strums, Cloudchord curates a vibe of something yet untouched. His recent works, Koi Pond Vol 2 with Soul Food Horns, and Citrus Fever Dream with Emancipator transport you to the great outdoors, where grooves and sunshine wrap around you in the midst of a hazy summer.
