New group of the day - not 1 023: Airbird

AirbirdGhostly Blisstronica of outer limits of the pop... Airbird

Hometown: New York City.

Range: Joel Ford (music, computers).

Background: Although it was to tape a rave, then simply abandon them when someone arrives. Yes, it would be easy to be picky with the rapid renewal of acts and the flood of MP3 files, we climb sent. But when someone is good, and then, they do something good on the other hand, fully expect we encourage their.

A new group of the day is not for 24 hours, it is for life. Or until they cease to be interesting, how we will move faster that you can say, "Whatever happened to Malakai?". Take Joel Ford. He was in a large group called Tigercity whose sublimate designed retro-MOR we divagues on in 2008. More recently, with Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point never, one of the Editor's choice of guest Antony Hegarty for the new group of the day, he was one half of the games, which have all changed their name to Ford & Lopatin. It is now operating as Airbird and do the things on the edges of the electronica which are still somehow pop. Its coverage of the Beach Boys' Surfer Girl is a feast of blown and blurred beats, keyboards that sound somewhere between and orgasmic bloating ecstatic. Ectoplasmic? Perhaps: if it appeared that Ernest Greene had dealt with the next (re) issue of smile at some of its Ethereal wash of trade mark, it might sound like this.

It is pop, but don't expect to be popular. First the single Airbird, part of the game, has a contoured, hesitant riff piano one Elton John of Bennie and the Jets, whose Ford whistles a song of afterlife like Tyler, the creator to do an impression of Debbie Harry, on Mogadon. We love the way it disappears fade in and then, back in a way Beatles Abbey Road circa. Really strange and beautiful. This is the music of graph of a pop alternative universe where Toro Y Moi is 1 of 19 weeks. Dania shapes is a minute of locked groove luscious while KONMSTR does never too strange things to success of Luther Vandross 1982. Step so chopped as cut up and covered of clicks and the candy floss. "Body...". "is the only Word left of the runway original, ironic, as most of the"human"has been cleared of music. And then you hear the haze of shimmer irradiated from somewhere in a field and you realize that everything he does, Ford will probably always be a value of our time.

Buzz: "Joel Ford continues to push the envelope with electro as he keeps experimenting with beats and piano, with his voice of overlay airbrush"-brokenheartboy.com.

The truth: The label that brought us Yuck, how dress Well, washed Out and Smith Westerns, it's ghostly blisstronica of outer limits of pop.

Probably to: Play games with the music software programs.

The least likely of: Be a part of the game.

What to buy: Debut single part of the game, came out Transparent in July.

next to the file: Oneohtrix Point never, games, Toro Y Moi, Teengirl Fantasy.

New version of Tech House of Focus Puller (Mike Healey)

Great Tech House single Millipede / Flaccid Tabard from Focus PullerGreat Tech House single millipedes / Focus Puller flaccid Tabard

focus puller release the unique Tech House centipedes / flaccid Tabard label evasive digital .

For non-sophisticated, focus puller is the new alias for Mike healey, and this metamorphosis Announces transition in its approach to production and execution. Mike has now prefer to concentrate on the creation of live sets of his new material, rather than the procedure of classical belt conveyor to complete a track and move to the next.

This new live material was then developed for release and two tracks "breathe easy" and "the grinch" have already introduced the Roomba and Cubism respectively, winning the support of people like Funk of void, Paul Woolford, reset Robot and Nelski among others. This then brings us to this version, featuring two mighty tracks that have been shaking the foundations of the evasive HQ.

Quirkily entitled centipedes and flaccid Tabard, two tracks on this release support all the features of the daring and twisted Mike Healey unique production style. Ruthlessly grooves of tech house heavyweight, focused on bass and compassionate atmosphere pads, synths and vocal samples, the two pieces have been road tested in live games of Mike, receiving an enthusiastic applause on the dancefloor at the Bar of the Source in Maidstone where Mike is resident. This is hardly surprising as listening to these tracks can be likened to the challenge…can of fruit Pastille you resist the urge to dance!

Mark Pritchard has been at the cutting edge of dance for 20 years, what is it?

"I have always done what I wanted," says Mark Pritchard. "Just what it is." With a 20 year career in the House, breakbeat, jungle, dubstep, funk, soul and juke, Pritchard was faithful to his application. The man with many moniker has established an extensive discography and kept fans and critics on the toes. Which may be why it remains one of dance music's best kept secrets.

Pritchard has first gained notoriety in the beginning of the 1990s working alongside Tom Middleton, with more successful than the Jedi Knights. Even then, taste meandering Pritchard took the pair of very different areas of dance, with Brian Eno-inspired ambient as 76: 14 of global Communication, and avant-garde of Chameleon music followed by the jungle. In the quote, Pritchard changes tack even position rear ambient as harmonic 33 before creating the solo broken beat and electronica as Troubleman and Harmonic 313.

Constant change of styles and genres brought negative responses: critics who questioned his motivation and fans who want more than one specific sound. "I have read things on internet forums on me and I must hold myself," Pritchard said. "" "". It is difficult because the people are really angry. I think that people like a certain sound, I worked on and then they get annoyed because I go off and do something else. "But for me I try to make music, that I feel at the some time."

Critics have suggested that its kind break shows a lack of commitment while, in reality, Pritchard, is a man who has a need of experience to work. "Make music for me is a form of escape," he said. "When I'm in the studio I am in my own world." At a meeting with a major label in the 1990s, he was told to concentrate on Chamber music to be "really successful." This is an offer that he should refuse.

The producer born in Yeovil settled in Australia six-and-half years, where he formed new partnerships, including with Mos Def and J Dilla collaborator Steve Spacek. Last collaboration of the pair is like the Hi-techs in Africa, including the new album, 93 million Miles, shows Pritchard to her eclectic best. Dubstep, juke, dancehall and Detroit techno are all referenced, although the album remains difficult to pin, as its creators.

"I believe that people are surprised that I am always the music that may have played the rinse FM," he added. Pritchard is 40 this year and recognizes quirks to always play sets 18 years sweat rooms, but it is not something, which it plans to stop immediately. Indeed, same Pritchard recognizes that its modus operandi changing him did not help achieve success, it may be the secret of his longevity. "I never had to follow this great success." This pressure has not been there for me that I can do my own thing. ?

Interview of Antix

Antix5

Here is the interview with Antix, a magnificent group is composed of two brothers, playing also under the pseudonyms Fiord, Tower and strom Brothers.

AntiX has been around for some time, I remember listening to their debut album "Lull" in 2003, and knowing that they are going to rock scene since their music was fairly advanced for the time and can be easily compared to a lot of productions of today.

Each Antix album brings innovations, production of top notch and joy to the ears and the synapses of the auditor of history, that they are willing to tell.

AntiX is the band which has tunes remixed by virtually all major genre names, and this practice is likely to continue. To hear the Bros.

HI there guys, just that things have started, could you start with a brief introduction on who is behind the ANTIX project?

The infamous Strom brothers famous. Barton and Hayden, we wrote songs together for the past eleven years.

Antix

How you make you electronic music?

We have become addicted to dance c' was just a natural progression for us to start to produce music. EC was not enough just to listen to we wanted to enter the workings at all.

You have developed your sound a little over the years - deep enough noise, progressive trance tech house sound today. It is a change in sound you have consciously made or something that came naturally?

Natural progression, arriving at maturity with the music, changes in taste all brings on the passage in the Strait.

I suppose that some people still ask that you play some of your old trancier tips. How do you feel about it?

It doesn't bother us, if we can, we will play the old stuff, its ' hard, but because the old sound does not really correspond with recent titles. We've played a few retro sets the end, so look for this.

Antix

You have been on the stage of electronic music for a long time now. What is you have reached a point where you are able to earn a living from music?

Almost, we still have to fill other jobs of sound production, etc. We are not rich with money, but feel very rich in our way of life.

It is not a secret that you are brothers: do you think that there was a special effect on the way to make music?

Yes, I think, it allows us to fully speak with any holding, it is sometimes a bad thing but we are working through things really quickly.

The focus is on your new compilation out soon on IBOGA RECORDS. How come?

Emok asked us. We thought that it was a good idea, quite simple really. It is also compiling a bunch of tracks that will play us a Dj set and also quite a few very talented fromour friends.

Antix

OK, on the process: do you have an idea to start? Perhaps on what artists should be on it, the flow of the compilation and sound/mood?

Our only pre-required was that we will play the track in our Dj set. We have a selection Dj mix and it flows really well. We wanted to also use some tracks Iboga and s tune that we have been grooving to the end.

Once more the release is presented on Iboga Records as all your albums - can tell you your long relationship with the label?

We have been friends of the time and we were happy with the work Iboga have done for us, it is a question of why change when something works well.

As far as other artists, who and what are source of inspiration for you now?

We love the new album of maceo plex on the Crosstown rebels.

Antix

Where is what do you see the sound in "the scene"?

I think that music is generally large circles on itself, just as things repeat selves, but with a slightly different flavor. All I know, is it just better preserved!

Ravaged by Interview

The guy behind one of the projects of hot, mounted, was kind enough to give us an interview and exclusive Dj set to accompany the article, hope you will take pleasure to read and listen to as much as we while he prepares. Read on...

Ridden Covers

Please indicate your full name, place of origin and your alias which you make artistic.
-My name is Michael Chavales of Athens, Hellas, and I carry out the project "Ridden".

Who are your musical influences and what are you trying to?
-A sound that can excite my imagination is an influence. My main goal is to make people totally fun on the dance floor reaching learners of dance trance

First of all, what drew your attention to electronic music?
-The main factor that led me in the style of electronic music since 1998, had been the diversity of this style it s connected to the sound of a "real" instrument The whole feeling that is created by electronic sounds weird repetitive and more intense beats and grooves (which are absolutely related to psychedelic culture "tribe") made me a faithful of this music.

Describes the current state of the stage musical psytrance in Greece.
-Recently, the Hellenic psy-trance scene is growing rapidly. Many indoor and outdoor events is organized with great success, and therefore, people are more familiar with this psychedelic way of entertainment.

What is your hardware configuration, favorite host sequencer and why?
-Well, I use a powerful PC for Production and a Macbook Pro for my live performance. The hardware setup is as follows:

Are you satisfied with the album? Do you believe that you have accomplished your goals?
-Satisfaction is clearly a subjective question. As a person, I am not the kind of man that gets satisfied easily, so I m always trying to develop my style and the ideas of new railways, still having the same objective: dance trance experience.

What can we expect to hear from you this year, perhaps a new album?
-I can tell you that the main idea for my new album is already defined, some leads are ready, but I don't know the release period. In parallel I also runs a side project with my good friend "conwerter" as "Binary Code" which you can expect the EP and the first album of this year and I m also collaborates with another good friend "Meander", in a style more "progressives" who u can expect more news soon.

You have any advice you want to share with young producers?
-The main point, I can give young farmers is to learn proper use of their "ears". The most important thing is to hear exactly what we produce, so all we need is the combination of a good acoustic measured space and a system of representative speaker to begin. These, with a big dose of imagination and of course hard work apart a recipe successfully to become a creative producer.

While Harmonia records is considered as one of the old, stable labels, quality out stuff as Pleiadians and Wizzy noise, how it carries its load in these times where the music is available everywhere in the world to download and sharehow he manage huge loses which are obvious in your music industry?
-Although the "problem" with downloading and sharing music is, and it's really a great loss for any type of label. As Harmonia RECs, some mechanisms we use to protect our "stuff", but we can not control of the current situation of our days everything…it, regardless of the kind of music. Harmonia Records LogoWhat are the upcoming Harmonia records releases you would like to promote?
-For 2011, we have a full schedule of releases are:

Conwerter - Invisible landscape Physical CD (first album) and digital outputVA - dance Code physical CD and digital releaseand Digital EP Eunoia, Binary Code, D freq and jp Illusion.
