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.

Deon Custom arrives on Terrorhythm in the shape of The Bliss E.P.

A 4 track journey through Dutchman Deon Custom's colourful take on beats and bass begins with a brief encounter in the Angelic Garden, short and sweet at just 1:28, it sets the scene perfectly for the remainder of the trip ahead.

Moving on the listener is welcomed neatly into the title track, Bliss, which is drenched in the cutest kind of technicolour synthesis and vocal cuts you'd expect from Deon, who dazzled listeners with his work on his album, Ametrine, released on Basserk last year.

Picking up the pace, Circles rolls in at 150bpm, with more colourful and energetic flutters and edits as it moves along. Deon Custom's trademark brightness shines through on this summery number which is sure to feature in plenty of those warm weather sets this season.

Closing out the 4 track E.P. is Feathers, which teases you in before a crescendo of brass and synths, paired with military-esque drum work. It winds in and out, constantly changing it's energy throughout. A perfect closure to the E.P., and Deon's debut on the label.

Deon Custom - Circles

Circa 2008, originally printed only 500 hard copies, most of which were distributed to promo types, and friends, so not really a proper release. Not long after this EP's completion, my lead co-musician and business partner, the late GREAT William Poskitt died. I walked away from music and doing anything further with the EP and subsequent related developments until 2011. It is now available for download at bandcamp.com/cygorman

16 Bit Lolitas - Love Left

Warming us up nicely for the Boiler Room x Closed Sessions showcase this Friday is this exclusive Debut from Closed Sessions affiliate, BoatHouse. Smoothness comes naturally to this twenty-something Chicagoan producer of downbeat hip hop, a trait shown in abundance with his latest GIRL EP, forthcoming on Closed Sessions.

Dropping in full in a couple of weeks' time, the EP is a homage to women in the form of music. Today's Debut and our pick of the bunch, "Taylor (Lady In Red)" is a joint to ease us perfectly into the mood for Friday night's broadcast live from New York City. Don't sleep.

BoatHouse "Taylor (Lady In Red)" - Boiler Room Debuts

After getting ins on the debut release from Lobster Theremin's Distant Hawaii imprint, we're straight onto the next, with a track from DJ Sonikku's Secret Island EP, dropping at the end of next month.

Directly inspired by and conjured up from the dreamy 16-bit realms of the Sega Megadrive, the London-based DJ Sonikku has used the legendary game console as a proto-MPC platform to assemble Secret Island's three Internet-centric tracks. Our top pick, "On the Rocks" provides the release with a tropical intermission. Steel drums energise the track with a calypso house undertone, with the tinker-toy motif upholding the track's atmosphere of a lackadaisical beach-scape.

Secret Island drops in full on November 27th.

His growing also taken him to Ibiza where he played the notorious Space Terrace, and with h San Salvadore EP’ set for release this November on Anjunadeep, he further establishes himself as one of the UK’s brightest talents.

Title track ‘San Salvadore’ is a laid-back dancefloor roller, full of glistening melodies and intricate synths. ‘Prophets’ sees Joe indulge his nostalgic side, with bright melodies bubbling above a warm groove and throwback vocal in this slice of classic deep house.

Rounding of the EP is ‘Patterns’, a surefire party-starter built around a killer bass groove. A serious dancefloor weapon in the right hands.
