Tomas Barfod - (Set time: 12:00 AM)
Tomas Barfod is fascinated with the idyllic wasteland, unveiling 'Salton Sea', an LP on the Friends of Friends imprint that draws from the concept of urban decay. The producer and drummer of the popular Danish group WhoMadeWho, with a history of solo and collaborative releases for Get Physical, Turbo, Gomma, and Kompakt, Barfod's latest full-length balances contrasts. At times bright with delicate pop melodies, 'Salton Sea' boldly submerges into dark, morose rhythms, juxtaposing the graceful and desolate characteristics of the Californian lakebed the album shares its name with. Opener "D.S.O.Y." wastes no time jumping out the gates with fervent energy and upbeat animation. After the LP's first single, "Broken Glass", "Came To Party" marks the height of the night, reaching a tipping point with big room dynamics. As the album continues its flow, the somber pop of "Till We Die" dwells in the late-night afterglow, while "November Skies" picks up the pieces to soar in an airy melody with vocals from Sweden's Nina Kinert. The frenetic, sinister Moroder disquietude of "Nighthawke", which features vocals from New York film Composer Lydia Ainsworth, and guttural pulse of "Python" provide tense codas to 'Salton Sea'. Either spatial and seductive or frightening and macabre, 'Salton Sea' engages multiple moods, jarring the listener and bringing them deeper into its shadowy pop. With remixes from Mark E, M.A.N.D.Y., Shlohmo, Salva, Kasper Bjørke, Suzanne Kraft and more, 'Salton Sea' looks to be one of the premiere electronic releases of 2012.
Young Adults - (Set time: 11:00 PM)
Young Adults are the all-vinyl DJ duo of Lazybrow and Deep Body who just launched their label, Young Adults Recordings. Their first release, the YA-001 compilation 12", has been seizing dancefloors since it dropped last month and they're set to do it again with Suzanne Kraft's 'Horoscope' set for release September 25th.
Suzanne Kraft - (Set time: 10:00 PM)
Suzanne Kraft cultivates sunsoaked boogie and grow house chuggers in the West Coast garden of earthly delights. A bubbling Dublab alumn, Lil Suzie unleashed the lauded Green Flash EP on Running Back a year ago now, stamping a crisp signature on wax platters with addictive vocal snips and slow release pill-wave. The 12” popped up on numerous top lists and garnered spins from the likes of: Permanent Vacation, Runaway, Justin Miller, Sleazy Beats, Juno Records and Tim Sweeney of the renowned Beats In Space radio show. Like a praying mantis or Venus Flytrap, Kraft’s tracks lull listeners into a subtle comfort before snapping fast in attack – followed by a postcoital cigarette, of course. These are jams that you feel all around you; seeping deep into mental crevices, stretching out and making themselves at home.
Now fresh off the heels of a Red Bull Music Academy admittance, a shimmering remix of Tomas Barfod’s “Came To Party” for FoF and the feel-good stunner “Jus U” from YA’s inaugural EP, Horoscope finds Suzanne easing off the samples and diving headfirst into synth, bass, harmony and percussion driven compositions. The title track jogs along with a solar powered pace guided by grooving guitar lines, eventually combusting supernova-like with homespun falsetto croons. “No Worries” ups the ante with infectious stabs and a driving baseline that graciously set the stage for one of SK’s restrained yet rewarding pay-offs. The b-side hits full stride with two explorations of repetition and space that both eclipse the 120 mark. “Ritmo” is an intergalactic workout tool complete with swirling delays and arpeggiated melodies, while “Feel” cranks up the punch and mood yet still remains ethereal with its cloud-covered flute line.
Rounding out Horoscope are the p-funk sunset comedown of “Crest”, the Professional Gold mix of “No Worries” by L.A.’s own Secret Circuit, and Future Times frontman Max D’s Raw Flute Swing of “Feel”.
