IA Radio Show #154 with Ivy Barkakati

LA based Hologram Teen (aka Morgane Lhote) has just released the latest outing on Ransom Note Records – a glowing sun kissed affair inspired by 80’s culture and a sphere of influence made up of Baroque keyboard parts, Neil Young’s “Trans”, French pop and beyond.

The tape is called ‘Day Glo Chaos’ and is her third album – a record which firmly cements her as an artist rooted in a sun kissed sound which meanders between funk, boogie, downtempo electronica, hip hop and beyond.

Considering the broad array of influences which impacted her creative process when crafting this release we felt it was appropriate to invite her to record a mixtape with a twist.
 
She explains the rationale behind her selections:

“I chose to focus on French Disco Funk music from the 1980’s with hedonistic themes. I was really influenced by 80s French pop for “Day-Glo Chaos” so this mix seemed fitting.”

This tape is a trip through a time when freedom and expression was flourishing in a way like never before, a throwback to a moment perhaps more innocent and care free.

PHARAOH SANDERS CELEBRATION With PRINCE LANGUAGE @ The Lot Radio 09 - 28 - 2022

Moiré is perhaps one of the most criminally underrated producers of recent times - yeah we said it. 

Around 2013 his music began to bubble within certain circles - weird, mutant off piste bass inspired music with nods to the likes of Basic Channel, tape culture and beyond. It was at times Dubby, at times Housey and at the same time never necessarily fit into any one place in particular. 

He was championed and supported by the likes of Actress and released EP's for Ninja Tune, Werk Discs, Rush Hour and many other prominent record labels.

However, in part to his mysterious persona, Moiré didn't go on to the rapturous heights expected of a musician so clearly and blatantly talented. Not one to 'play the game' so to speak Moiré was happy to let his music speak for himself without the bravado or 'bullsh*t' which often comes with an industry which revels in hype.

Instead, quietly behind the scenes, he continued to hone his craft releasing a number of records and albums on the likes of Ghostly International, Hypercolour and Spectral Sound.

His most recent release came in the form of a new album for Avenue 66 - an exploratory journey through IDM inspired sounds based upon analog modulation and circuit loops - hence the title 'Circuits'.

It was an ambitious project for a producer keen to challenge his own limitations in his use and approach to hardware and instrumentation.

The result? A killer assortment of pensive, thought provoking electronic sounds that's all too easy to get lost in.

Anyway, we invited Moiré to record a mixtape for us, we should have really asked before.
