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.

Montana

"The ever so generous Ambassadeurs returns with another free download “Do U Right” and picks up on where Ardour left off. The Brighton producer lays tender sounds over his signature R&B beats and footwork percussions, creating a dreamy yet intense atmosphere that is melancholic and romantic. It’s the perfect soundtrack to a summer full of possibilities and heartbreak, lingering in the mind like an affair that’s remembered long after it’s gone."

XX▲N▲XX are a Polish electronic music duo from Warsaw, formed in 2012. The band consists of Klaudia Szafrańska (vocals) and Michał Wasilewski a.k.a Lance Flare (instrumentals). 

Klaudia age 19 and Voo age 31 formed XXANAXX in 2012. Klaudia is originally from Konin, while Michał is from Szczytno. They've met in Warsaw. Klaudia after appearing in Polish edition of X Factor was looking for a producer and Lance Flare was in a search for a vocalist. Both needed just one meeting to decide they want to cooperate with each other.

They share the same interest in experimental electronic music. Their compositions are full of anologue sounds, deep bases, ambient reverbs and their beloved Roland TR 808 drums. This mixture combined with Klaudia's voice makes an unusual music experience that takes listener to a higher level of relaxation. The genres that they feel connected to is chillwave, witch house and electronica.

At this very moment the duo is working on their first LP, the first EP titled Disappear will be released in one of the Polish finest electronic labels U Know Me Records during the summer of 2013.
