Ethan Ward Mastin, known professionally as E.VAX, is an electronic musician and producer hailing from the innovative world of experimental sounds and ambient music. He is better known as one half of the indie electronic duo Ratatat, which he formed with Mike Stroud. E.VAX, however, represents Mastin's solo journey into the depths of his musical creativity, where he crafts a more intimate and introspective sound.

Mastin's work as E.VAX is characterized by its ethereal textures and minimalist beats, often blending organic and electronic elements to create lush soundscapes. His self-titled album "E.VAX" received critical acclaim for its meticulous production and immersive atmospheres. The release of tracks like "Karst," "Manila," and "Always" showcases his penchant for subtle melodies and intricate rhythms that evoke a sense of space and place. His album "Parking Lot Music," along with other compositions such as "Rabindra" and the score for "Chillin Island," further cement his reputation as a master of crafting moods through sound. E.VAX's dedication to exploring the boundaries of electronic music is evident through his collaborations with other artists, resulting in remixes like "Karst (Vegyn Remix)" and "Manila (FaltyDL Remix)," which add new dimensions to his original pieces.
