  • Christopher Norman – Maps

    Christopher’s beautiful voice is soothing on this bubbly electronic bed of music, think Junior Boys meets James Blake.  Also, be on the look out for his new EP this  September 6th.

    Bio:
    Christopher Norman is an American music producer, performer,
    and songwriter living in Ann Arbor, MI. He is perhaps best known
    for his electronic dance productions under the pseudonym Retrobyte,
    particularly his remix of “Light The Skies” by trance group
    Cerf, Mitiska, & Jaren. He first came to prominence in 2006
    when dance DJs Gabriel & Dresden announced his first single
    “Going Down” as their “find of the year” at that year’s Winter
    Music Conference in Miami.

    He has done remix work for Katy Perry, Uberzone, Gareth Emery,
    and Gabriel & Dresden (with which he netted two #1 remixes on the
    Billboard Dance Club Play Chart), and made appearances on labels
    like Armada, Cuurve, Black Hole, and Baroque. His remix of “Pills &
    Champagne” by Discount Rhinos held the top spot on Beatport’s
    Minimal chart for almost two months. He has collaborated extensively
    with Detroit-based DJ and Producer Anthony Attalla, with whom he
    started the Incorrect Music label and released the techno album
    ‘Prime’ in 2009.

    During his time as a dance producer and DJ, Christopher was developing
    himself as multi-faceted performer and songwriter, incorporating
    those elements into his productions with increasing frequency.
    He is currently working on a series of pop-oriented vocal EPs,
    the first of which, ‘EP1’, was released late April 2011.
    ‘EP2’, a more intimate and refined continuation of the project,
    comes out September 6th, 2011.

  • The Twelves – When You Talk

    Lovely, just lovely, so in love with this song from The Twelves.  Not only are they well known for their remixes, but they are set to release their own originals, one of which is this masterfully executed track, “When You Talk”.  Everything from the electronic piano to the toms sit  dutifully  in the mix, and the fade out kills me.

    Short bio:

    From Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, “The Twelves” consist of duo João Miguel and Luciano Oliveira back in 2005. The name came from the strange coincidence of their birthdays: 12th July 1980.

  • Apparat – Ash/Black Water

    Something soothing for this mid-day afternoon (on the west coast that is).
