Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International

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.

Awake

How many people do you know that produce music in their car? 

"Since I'm so busy and also spend a lot of time in traffic, I make music while stuck in traffic (sorry Oprah) Part of "Less Is More," along with some of my other tracks have been produced in my car as I'm driving home in LA traffic! Serious man! I have no choice. Hopefully some day I can make a living off just making music.” - BTOYL 

Presenting BTOYL! (pronounced “Beat-Oil”) The winner of the Beat Port remix comp for Bass Kleph’s "Less Is More”. We love the quirky, bass heavy remix he came up with, and think you will too. BTOYL is based in Cerritos, California, and has been producing for two years. Here’s a guy that will make the most of any spare time he has to follow his dream. Respect.

Perfect Day (Lou Reed)

From LP and digital album "DJ Raff - Beat Anthology 2006 - 2012".

Soon via Pirotecnia (thisispirotecnia.com)

Remezcla.com:
"After a long tenure in the orthodox hip-hop camp, turntablist/producer DJ Raff felt compelled to experiment with beat architecture in a surrealist manner, breaking up with all preconceived notions of the classic boom-bap structure and creating a whole new language that sounds like if aliens landed on the Atacama desert and for some reason had to use turntables to communicated with humans. -JD"
