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.

Daddy (Disclosure Remix) [feat. Naughty Boy]

Hey gang... after a brief hiatus from Soundcloud, I'm posting this remix that I started in April and got around to "finishing." I have uploaded and passed around a couple of working versions but I think this is the final shape and sound of the track.

Why I selected this track still remains a bit of a mystery. I was digging through some acapellas and found this great little gem. Forgetting everything I remembered about the original, I had a spacey disco vibe in mind for Melvin Riley's vocal... maybe like a B-side of some wacky European import 12" of this track that you'd find at a garage sale or used vinyl shop.

The original is pretty wacky, fun loving, mid-80's silliness. Once you peel the original instrumentation away, I found the song to be emotional, and a story of unrequited love is laid bare. While it is commonly understood that Sheila is qualified to fill her needs, our protagonist just wants the attention she gives to her other male friends. That's the angle that I decided to approach with the sounds and motion in this version.

I hope you guys love it as much as I do.

Since it's hard for me to tell if I'm doing it right, comments are encouraged. <a href="http://www57.zippyshare.com/v/58658633/file.html">You could find a link to the uncompressed CD quality version here.</a>

*July '13 Update - Shout out to Avicii who played this remix in his LEVELS podcast!&#13;
&#13;
---------------------------&#13;
&#13;
As followers of Kaskade for many years, we have seen his sound progress from deep house to big room festival dance music.  10 years ago he released It's You, It's Me and we thought that it would be cool to remix it. There's always something timeless with a nice melody and groove so we did our best to keep the integrity of the original.&#13;
&#13;
We decided to keep it funky by adding conga drums and some percussion. We also slowed down the tempo from 127 - 120. &#13;

Keep Shelly in Athens - Recollection

Fresh Out the Bedroom...

New on the social networking scene but hardly a stranger to dance music, Distraktor has been fader-fiddling for the better part of the last 20 years. Heavily influenced by the sounds and jocks of early/mid-90s dance stations KZ-93 FM in Peoria, Illinois and the legendary B96 FM (Bad Boy Bill, Mixin Marc, Julian Perez, Tim Schommer) in Chicago as well as the local skating rink (that's no lie) his style defies confinement and  aims to make music FUN.

His work combines elements that span the progressive and funky house genres along with electro, dubstep, funk, tribal, and nuances of great pop music to create fresh sounds that you're hearing again for the first time.

Looking forward is looking back. Distraktor's history includes the legendary El Torito Thursday House Parties and numerous appearances throughout the Bay Area to get people on their feet and shaking their asses. His formula includes weaving wacky mashups, devastating drops, and lots of "ohhhh yeahhhh, I know this song!!!" as partygoers revel in recognition of old tracks spun a new way.

Now it's time to spread the formula far and wide -- and Distraktor wants you to be a part of his militia. Your speakers have been warned!
