LIGHTS THAT CHANGE - Beautiful Soul

OUT NOW!

Here’s a little slow electro/nu disco-ish remix I did for my good friends over at Emerald & Doreen. This time it is for The Boy & Sister Alma - a new synth-pop duo from Helena, Montana - and their brilliant ”Lizard eyes”. 

Check out the rest of the remixes, including Aux Tha Masterfader, Statickman, Dead Sea Captains, and and Jam Couché over at https://soundcloud.com/emerald-and-doreen-rec

The Boy & Sister Alma are a new synth-pop duo from Helena, Montana. Their amazing debut EP was just released recently and has been well received by the international press. 

As Emerald & Doreen were early fans, both decided to cooperate to get TBSA's magical, romantic, haunting Italo Disco-style debut single "Lizard Eyes" processed by some 80s-loving NuDisco and New Wave artists. They all made their very own and beautiful versions as a hommage to the original: 

Copycat convinces with a funky'n fluffy electro pop version, Aux Tha Masterfader's remix turns it into a good old 80s Italo Disco song as if Valerie Dore were back, Statickman lets it rock hard just like its spaced out underground proto-techno from 1984.

Dead Sea Captains beam it into the future with a very intelligent and dramatic set of breakbeats and sampled sounds while keeping the electro-pop feel perfectly in place and Jam Couché lets us all wave our arms in the air with an amazingly catchy 90s House version so that we can dance away the heartaches we got from all that nostalgia.


The Boy and Sister Alma - Lizard Eyes (A Copycat Remix)

Thank you for listening! Ummagma's "Rotation/Live And Let Die" single will be released by Emerald & Doreen Records of December 9, 2013. Available on iTunes, Juno Download, Amazon, Beatport, and all major online platforms.

Emerald & Doreen Recordings once again delve into Eastern Europe with Ummagma, a Canadian-Ukrainian dream pop duo, who got their start in Moscow and have made enough waves there for a full-page spread in Rolling Stone Russia. Ummagma combines their love of indie rock, synthpop and electronica to create “dreamgaze” power pop. In these two tracks, stunning hypnotic vocals and lush blissed-out resonance create a sonic launching pad to the galaxy or the universe within while getting your groove on. In "Rotation", this occurs on waves of bombastic synths, and in “Live and Let Die”, epic guitar riffs lace with magnetic drumbeats to stage an astonishing dreampop fest. With a jubilant Stereolab and Curve-type feel, these addictive tracks lovingly embed themselves in your brain. Tripped out, Ummagma brings a soundtrack of reverie for both trailblazers and stargazers. This single is a teaser for several Ummagma releases on Emerald & Doreen forthcoming in early 2014.

Since exploding onto the underground music scene in 2012 with 2 independently released full-length LPs – “Antigravity” and self-titled “Ummagma” – the duo has been blazing a colourful, yet eclectic, path forward. Ummagma are a rare commodity in today's music scene: deliciously diverse, dreamy, and loaded with positivity.

Since then, Ummagma has garnered over 240 unique articles, with rave reviews from The VPME, Echoes and Dust, AltSounds, Sounds Better With Reverb, Rolling Stone, The Sound of Confusion, and WaveMaker Magazine, among others. The 2 albums tied as the #3 Best Album of 2012 in After Pop Magazine, ranked in the top 20 for Rock XS Radio and #21 in Sloucher Zine. Ummagma have caught the attention of Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins/Violet Indiana), who has remixed a track for their forthcoming LP, and also managed to win the 2013 Alternative Eurovision, hosted by Amazing Radio.

Ummagma is an eclectic potpourri of dreampop, indie rock, electronica, post-rock, ethereal wave, space rock, post-punk, ambient and shoegaze. Their musical play is full of resonance, beats, rhythm and vocals ranging from gossamer to deadpan over a bed of intriguing soundscapes. Ummagma began as an affair of love and sound. Band members Alexx Kretov and Shauna McLarnon met in Moscow while soul searching, their relationship ultimately developing into a marriage and the musical partnership we know today as Ummagma. 

Ummagma debuted on the music scene in 2012, simultaneously releasing two debut albums. In the past few years, Ummagma has released several EPs involving several genuine music icons, including Dean Garcia (CURVE), Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins), Rudy Tambala (A.R.Kane), and Malcolm Holmes (OMD).

Ummagma won the 2013 Alternative Eurovision on Britain's Amazing Radio (representing Ukraine amongst 23 countries), as well as numerous independent music video awards. They have been featured in Rolling Stone Russia and Rolling Stone Italia. Ummagma also co-wrote, produced and performed on the 2014 debut Sounds of Sputnik EP, which saw them working with Graham Bonnar (Swervedriver, Brian Jonestown Massacre) and Fran Ashcroft (Damon Albarn, Lords of Acid). This album held in the CMJ charts for 7 weeks and earned them a Jagermeister Music Award (Russia's most prestigious indie music award).
