Lucas Ray has all you need in this exciting debut project for Harmonious Discord. We continue to discover amazing talent right on our doorsteps. Lucas Ray is an upcoming artist from Austin, TX with releases on Subplot, LB, Wetsuit and Fett Recordings. Lucas has been delivering fantastic DJ sets locally often featuring his new studio concoctions. Harmonious Discord is happy to introduce you three originals from the Texas talent along with remixes from Dr. deep himself Ivan Dbri and HD's blunt object; Tobor Rellik.

The project starts out with a chill original and title song "A New Life". Melodically minded and percussively complex, our title tune delivers a deep house shade with hints of fall. Ivan Dbri follows with a lo-fi flip of this house staple. Deep and moody with a Terry Lee Brown Jr. vibe this remix dives into deeper territory. Carefully crafted synth accents float listeners into spacey sectors. "The Get Down" changes up the mood with a highly swung tech-tinged house piece. This original flaunts dancing filtered envelopes with pulsating organ overlays. Tobor's remix gives us more muscle for late night adventures. Dub inspired synths and tribal percussion provide heavy coverage for weekend warehouses. We end with another special offering from Lucas, "All I Need". Not to be ignored as a B side, "All I Need" is an energetic jackin house jam with music box arpeggios and distorted driving pads. Pitched vocal accents evolve filling the soundscape with dizzy repetition. A varied array of material for a moody season, dive into Lucas's world.

A New Soul

04 Lucas Ray - Get Down (Tobor Rellik Remix)

Harmonious Discord Recordings has been the purveyor of offbeat melodies for DJ’s and producers “in-the-know” for over 20 years. Founded in 2001 by Moon Magnet productions front men Sean Anderson, Brad Denton, and David Brown; HD’s aim has been to provide a musical outlet for artists that continue to defy convention at every opportunity. Harmonious Discord’s name was devised to represent a collective rebellion against the sea of mediocre and brainless music polluting the airwaves. Its motto “Cacophony at its Finest” displays the contrast of what some view as noise (or cacophony) and what others view as music. The beauty of music is that it is subjective and the brilliance lies with the listener. We have strived in our 10 year run to combine the innovative and legendary sounds of Jazz and the new and basic sounds of the tech revolution, which is represented in our logo (a martini glass w/ sprocket).

Originally a vinyl only media Harmonious Discord released its first vinyl record in January of 2002 with a premier release by two of Harmonious Discords home-based artists; Ahman (David Brown) and newly added artist Litex (Eric Reeves). The project received warm regards but did not make a huge splash in the electronic music community. It wasn’t till their second release, a techy offbeat two tracker by Austin native Merrick Brown, that HD was written into the books of dance music history. The second release was canned by DJ notables from all over the world and quickly rose to the top of the balance chart. In 2003 we saw another huge hit with the release of Grey’s first HD release titled “Naughty Glances” and the floor filling remix by Seattle’s own Jacob London. The vinyl only production continued until 2007 when Harmonious Discord decided to embrace the digital revolution and joined forces with Beatport, the industries leader in digital distribution. Many years later our family has grown to encompass artists like Chakaharta and Patchen Preston who have forged a solid foundation using Harmonious Discord as their main production outlet. Harmonious Discord has forged onward with digital releases that span multiple genre’s and showcase some of the most forward thinking artists in today’s electronic music landscape.
