"Spacial Recognition" Press Release

San Francisco, CA – February 27, 2013, Loöq Records will release the full-­‐length album “Spacial Recognition” from bi-­‐coastal electronic production duo, Methodrone. This release is a reminder that deep, progressive electronica is alive and well amid the current mass of “EDM”, ElectroHouse, and other more hype-­‐driven genres.
 
“Spacial Recognition” is the 2nd full-­‐length album from Methodrone and marks the 6th release by the duo. The scope of sounds on this latest release make it instantly stand out from the current electronica landscape. From the opening note, the album wraps you in the Methodrone sound of layered, sophisticated electronic warmth.
 
"Entry Level", "Rise And Fall In The Bamboo Sky" and "The Things You Remember" open the album with a one-­‐two-­‐three punch of that dark, floaty goodness we've come to expect from Methodrone. Each track delivers a full, rich sound palate, with musical plot twists that surprise and delight. The crisp techno beats of "Stop Start" and "Forward Momentum" add brightness, and the heads down sounds of "The Other Direction" and "ElectroDynamic" show off Methodrone's underlying dance floor sensibilities. The album goes out on a downtempo, then ambient note, with the headphone-­‐worthy "Pale Blue Dot" and "Exit Level".
 
Fueling this multifaceted sound are the diverse musical histories of Methodrone’s primary contributors, Kramer and Scott G. The combination of Scott’s background as the co-­‐founder of the touring indie rock band Breather, and Kramer’s life as a well-­‐established DJ both factor into what sets the team apart. Always looking to push their craft further, Methodrone continues to reach outside the core duo to enlist creative talent to keep pushing the sound in new directions. Grammy Award winning bassist Bernie Minoso, singer/songwriter Jerry Fuentes and the production efforts from innovative dance music producers Royal Sapien (Bedrock) and Jason Randolph (Baroque, Sony) have all contributed to the success of the evolution in Methodrone’s sound, pushing it in new directions.
 
Following the release of “Spacial Recognition” Methodrone and Loöq will be releasing a series of singles that will include new remixes from a multitude of locations on the electronic music landscape.

Spacial Recognition

Loöq Records is celebrating its 100th release with this massive package of remixes of the progressive house classic "We Are Connected" by label founders Jondi & Spesh. Born out of the West Coast sound, the original 1997 release remained relatively under wraps until John Digweed came across a copy and began using it as a secret weapon in sets everywhere, eventually including it on an iconic Radio One Essential Mix (that same mix would also be used in it's entirety on the John Digweed mixed CD "Bedrock"). Re-release on UK labels Bedrock and Dorigen soon followed, as well as a critically acclaimed full length Jondi & Spesh album of the same title, and a classic was born. This superb collection of remixes does what Loöq Records as a whole has done so well for so many years - mix up and coming talent with established artists in pursuit of its mission of entertaining people with the freshest sounding electronic music.

ABOUT "WHERE IS THE NEW WORLD
"Where Is The New World" is a brand new EP from Methodrone. Their debut album "Non Linear Reality," and two follow-up singles firmly established their sound as a sophisticated electronic brew of chill, classic progressive, and innovative soundscapes. This brand new 4 track release continues the themes set out in their earlier work while showcasing some deeper darker moments using tension-inducing buildups, syncopated rhythms, and unexpected twists and turns. "Lost In Peru" establishes an exotic suspense right from the beginning, and sets a perfect tone for the deeper explorations that are "Daybreak In The Desert" and "Mercer And Broome". "Letting Go" keeps the drama very much intact, but lifts the spirit with the floating bliss that we've come to expect from Methodrone.

Support for "Where is the New World?”
LIfecycle (Ricochet Records) "Been eagerly anticipating followup to Nonlinear Reality ... this does not dissapoint ... Mercer and Broome going straight in the record bag - the others will follow!"

Issac (Looq/Stripped/We Are Here Records) "Fantastic EP! hard to choose just one fav....Full Support! Thanks!"

Joe Sweeny "some really great stuff here. takes me back to those hardkiss and young american primitive days."

ABOUT "SLOW IT DOWN"
"Slow It Down" originally appeared on Methodrone's debut album "Non Linear Reality", a collection of luscious and expansive tracks reminiscent of Breeder, Voyager, the productions of Charlie May, and Sasha’s Airdrawndagger. The original mix of "Slow It Down" showcases a timeless sound that reminds us of classics found on Sasha &amp; John Digweed's  classic Northern Exposure compilations. Warm, spacey, and wicked sounding in a huge room. The first remix come courtesy of the UK's Lifecycle (Geoffrey Dent), who has been tearing up the experimental edges lately. His remix is at times shattered and wild, and at other times brilliantly sublime. Los Angeles DJ veteran Huggie has teamed with Bitwise to deliver a groove heavy 4/4 grower that is just perfect as part of one of a big room progressive

Methodrone DJ Mix - DISTRIKT Podcast - Episode 53

The Methodrone sound is wide ranging, everything from textured ambient soundscapes to energetic dance floor escapes. Refusing to be defined by any specific musical genre, Methodrone has built a catalog incorporating sounds, rhythms and influences from across the musical spectrum. It’s primary contributors, Kramer and Scott G, have diverse musical backgrounds that have helped guide Methodrone’s direction into a space that is not entirely electronic nor organic.  It is this blend of ideas that has helped Methodrone create a space all their own across the musical landscape.

Releasing a series of albums and singles with San Francisco based Looq Records, 
the music of Methodrone has sparked unique partnerships with seasoned musicians such as Grammy winning bassist Bernie Minoso and guitarist Jerry Fuentes. These types of collaborations have helped Methodrone create a unique and layered sound transcending the typical electronic music space.  At the same time, they have also worked with established dance music producers such as Royal Sapien (Bedrock) and Jason Randolph (Baroque, Sony) to produce solid dance floor-ready remixes. This ability to connect music across a spectrum of genres has allowed Methodrone’s work to find its way into international TV shows (CSI: New York), video games (WRC2), interactive projects (Intel, Jaguar-Land Rover), commercial use (ECOtality), compilation CDs and of course the dance floor.

Methodrone will once again showcase their innovative work with their third album Spacial Recognition early 2013 in addition to several upcoming remix projects.
