LEO ISLO Releases

LEO ISLO is the moniker of Portland-based producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Matt Pahler.

Born in Santiago, Chile and raised in the small mountain city of Flagstaff, Arizona, LEO ISLO amassed an eclectic mix of art from the world around him, instilling a sense of wanderlust at a young age. By 17 and armed with a fake ID, he began touring as a drummer playing at a variety of venues across Arizona from local bars and clubs to casinos and popular lounges. It wasn’t long before his desire and self-motivation lead him to songwriting and learning guitar.

It was during a move from Los Angeles to Portland that LEO ISLO found himself drawn to the world of electronic music for the first time. Artists like Jai Paul, Neon Indian, Toro Y Moi, Caribou, Washed Out, and Grimes became early influences on his approach to production, fueling his propensity to create tracks with retro-soaked synths, ethereal pop vocals, warm guitar lines, and analog driven beats. 

His first EP as LEO ISLO, Modern Fiction (2014), was conceptualized on a beach in Nicaragua and realized in his chilly garage studio through unrelenting DIY love, trial and error, and many sleepless nights, and garnered him a placement with MTV and the nod of approval from the indie music community.

2015 was a breakout year for LEO ISLO and saw a transition away from chillwave towards uptempo house-driven beats through a series of single releases. As music blogs took notice a small but devoted fanbase started to appear, leading to further internet accolades. ‘Oh Dystopia’ garnered placement on the Spotify Viral Charts (#13 USA / #12 Canada) while ‘Higher Living’ and ‘Coexist’ went on to place well on the Hype Machine Charts (#10 & #6 respectively).

In 2016, LEO ISLO continues to build on his unique brand of danceable and thought provoking electronic music with his latest release ‘Golden Grave.’ The EP focuses on themes of dark introspection, ephemeral mortality, and fleeting nostalgia shifting seamlessly between lo-fi pop, house, and indie rock. His sound continues to evolve as it incorporates aspects of each of these styles while progressing the realm of possibility within them. Relentless in his approach to creating the music he loves, LEO ISLO is patiently building the foundations of a promising career, note by note.

Tearing Me Up

BEAUTIFUL BUZZZ PREMIERE:

HypeM <3: http://awe.sm/bMuhu

LEO ISLO returns to LAMP following his debut song 'Feelings' with a soulful, uptempo release in 'Higher Living'.

The track opens with an array of floating synths, pitch bending chords and echoing piano stabs that create an introspective environment before being cut by a deep, gritty bassline. A dampened kick and house-infused percussion elements accentuate the songs main groove, building and layering elements into a hazy cloud before releasing the production back into dance territory.

Islo’s signatures vocals are airy and soothing, carefully guiding you through each chorus and generating a hypnotic harmony with the core melody. 'Higher Living' measures up to its name with lyrics focused on vice-laden escapism and a careless desire to live inside a dangerous fantasy.

Tontario X Leo Islo - Coexist

LAMP member Leo Islo joins forces with Tontario on an emotionally charged journey in 'Coexist'. The subtle crackle of a vinyl can be heard as Islo's soothing lyrics echo through the shrouds of a hazy, cavernous abyss. A soft piano chord calmly progresses resting underneath a thin layer of warm, ethereal synths that slowly crescendo into a collective auditory atmosphere. Soft shakers melt together with loose claps and other percussive layers to create an aqueous soundscape. The track looks to leave the listener with a renewed sense of clarity, unity and hopeful outlook on the world that is recurrently divisive.

Tontario's grasp for sewing the threads of talented vocal artists with delicate melodic compositions is acutely demonstrated in this latest collaboration with Leo Islo. The Finnish producer has clearly made his mark as well as a lasting impression on his audience that will resonate for some time to come.

Lyrics
strange nature.
to feel your tether.
strange to feel,
anything at all.

strange knowing.
the circle goes forever.
hard to tell-
if I was bound to fall…

spent my whole life.
chasing rainy weather.
in the rivers
and the valleys of my heart.

it took some time.
but now that were together.
speaking soft
your voice inside the dark…

— — —

cause in a new way.
in a new light.
we could be there.
on a new high.
and if it feels good.
if it feels right.  
as imperfect as love is…

— — —

Remix by André Allen Anjos.
Original by Bob Moses

Here's my brand new remix for the great @The-Bob-Moses!
I really like how they mix songwriting elements with dance music. Ultimately I wanted to maintain that while changing the feel. The shuffled beat was a lot of fun to play with and a breath of fresh air to the normal 4 on the floor beat. I really hope you like it!
