Design and layout by Scott Hansen

For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. “This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record.”

Following 2011’s Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O’Connor’s live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. “After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,” Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho’s creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current sound.

In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn’t until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. “It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,” says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like “Montana” and “Awake” are a departure from Tycho’s previous material – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while “See” and “Dye” echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns.

Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen’s visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. “This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,” notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.

If Danny Daze decided to cut his music career short after the blinding 'Silicon' EP on Jimmy Edgar's Ultramajic, he could have done so knowing he'd left something special behind. 

The title track's a freakish whirl of drawn-out horns, gun-shot drums and a seriously messed up vocal, and the rest of the tracks possess the kind of 'WTF' moments the Miami producer creates so well.

KiNK's 2014 was fruitful to say the least. 

He set himself up for a big one with his remix of Rachel Row's 'L Square' in February, following that up with debut album 'Under Deconstruction', a tight Essential Mix shortly after that and an impressive showing in the Lab LA. 


Premiere: KiNK 'Fantasia'

'Sub Conscious' was originally conceived as the exclusive track for Erol Alkan's 'FabricLive 77' mix, which was released to major critical acclaim back in August. A highlight track within the mix, 'Sub Conscious' has now been remixed by Tin Man and new Phantasy signing Kamera. 

Over the last decade Tin Man has explored an ever-evolving sound palette that touches on house, techno and ambient. His tracks have been laced with slow and subtly shifting patterns that are infused with a very real machine soul and captivating warmth. In his remix of ‘Sub Conscious’, Tin Man drapes Alkan's celestial strings and piano stabs over his own bassline to blissful, rousing effect.

SCNTST blew us away with his debut album 'Self Therapy'. 

The young German nailed a balance of intense, rough-textured bangers, hazy, melodic dreams and a dash of smoky hip hop beats. 

Premiere: SCNTST 'Sers'

“I Don’t Know Where” - The intro catches listeners from the first note, making you lean in to hear more from small sounds teasing through a steady drum beat that deepens as it charges forward. We are then taken into some strange, new territory here, with sound effects that sound like steel slicing through the air and beats that are never predictable. Tandem is not the goal here, more of a partnership of different beats that only add to a successful and very repeatable track.

Tinlicker strike again on Sotto Voce, their second release on Feed Me’s imprint takes things up a notch for 2015. Out exclusively on Beatport on the 14th April, and other platforms worldwide on the 28th April. The kaleidoscopic synth tinged 5-track EP “Into The Open”, is an epic journey from start to finish. The EP sees collaborations with Devries on the title track, and amazing euphoric, awe-inspiring vocals from Laura Louise on “Gazoline”.

This EP combines the hugely in-vogue modulating 80s synth-techno with the atmospherics expected from a Brian Eno project, backed by the thumping, crisp percussion, spanning across, spacious loose-limbed headphone pieces and tough, floor-focused club tracks. This innovative duo have sculpted a unique sound of their own, and made a home with the Sotto Voce family. 

Tinlicker commented, "We're so excited for the release to come out, it’s like having to wait for your pizza to cool off before you can take bite”

Track list:
1. Into The Open W/ Devries
2. Harvest
3. Chameleon
4. Gazoline feat. Laura Louise
5. Yoshi
