Everyday connections, moments in space and time.  When you have a piece of my heart, it’s every time.  Harmonious Discord is excited to welcome back to the imprint soul-specialist Jason Vasilas with a very special project featuring vocalist Quinton Xavier.  Quinton offers us a modern-day love song infected with passion and emotion that is set to the rhythm of a well-tempered tech house selection sure to be coined an instant classic.  Assisting in remix duties are the ever-versatile sounds of HD frequent Dorian and a new addition to the label that has quickly made a large impact on the industry with fantastic releases on Akbal, My Favorite Robot and Connoisseur Music.  David Bikowski, known as Hands Free charts waters deeper in this very special release.

The original gives us a dreamy vision of poetic passion balancing the vocals with thoughtfully constructed synthesizers and reversed effects.  Frequencies swirl and build as Quinton’s vocals reach their peak and dulcet tones culminate with periodic fills to propel the momentum onward.  Dorian’s remix wipes the dream-state away offering flavors of disco-era drums alongside classic house synths.  Quinton’s vocals are in the forefront with penetrating vocal modulation.  Musically rich and percussively precise, Dorian’s remix is often a defining moment for mixed sets.  Hand’s Free dives deep offering us two versions of his subversive interpretation.  Dissonant, unsettling sounds fill the cavernous space created by this slow burn.  Hypnotic and ritualistic the Hands Free mixes provide rumbling percussion and reverberated artifacts that cascade into pensive melodic harp accents and broad sweeping swells.  A mood for all occasions in this package and a very special release for us here at the label.

JV featuring Quinton Xavier - Every Time (Dorian 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.
