Direct (Joseph Lyncheski) is an American electronic musician affiliated with Monstercat. Direct sets himself apart from his peers by combining tight production and deep atmospheres with pop-inspired vocals and piano. He is influenced by a wide range of sources—from his label mates to the likes of Burial, Radiohead, and early dubstep.

Growing up in a very musically positive household, Joseph was encouraged to experiment with electronics and music at a very young age. As a child, he spent most of his time either at the computer or listening to his parents' record collection. It is no surprise he would eventually combine the two. By the time high school came around, he was actively interested in pursuing music and continued his interest into college majoring in Recording Arts. Just prior to his 18th birthday, Direct released his first single with Monstercat.

After the release of his seventh Monstercat EP last year, Direct returned to the label with his laidback single, “I Know”. The deep atmospheric pads, vibrant synth leads, and crisp percussion introduce layers of gentle energy into the soothing single. The groovy, deep house-inspired bassline and processed vocal chops sit perfectly in the mix, forming an upbeat, infectious melody that Direct has become known for. With an ever-evolving sound and style, Direct continues to push boundaries, further cementing himself as a lead tastemaker in the scene.

Direct shares, “‘I Know’ is an expression of the current excitement and energy I feel around the state of music at the moment. The lyric ‘I know my direction.’ is an expression of my confidence as well as a fun pun around my artist name.”
