Roche
https://soundcloud.com/rochesolos

“Though he may be a relatively new name for most, Roche’s sound comes off as mature and developed as a veteran’s. “A Night at the Haç” is a perfect example of his crisp production quality and tasteful sounds, which are demonstrated by effortlessly smooth house grooves, ’80s-referencing synths, and bubbling basslines.” -XLR8R

A true ethnomusicologist, Brian Shimkovitz started the Awesome Tapes From Africa b log in 2006 to encourage outsiders’ appreciation of the breadth of musical subcultures in Africa which he discovered whilst traveling there. Brian has played an important role in promoting access to African music outside the continent. The blog acts as a constant source of inspiration – providing undiscovered gems.

In 2011 ATFA developed into a critically acclaimed vinyl label, re-releasing records by African artists such as Bola, Dur-Dur Band,Hailu Mergia and Penny Penny. The label plays an essential role in furthering Brian’s mission to build an international audience for African music through touring and re-issues.

Drawing on his vast African cassette archive—which includes highlife, fuji, benga, tsonga disco, soukous, hip-hop, rhumba and ethio-soul, among countless other genres—his role now combines that of educator, promoter and selector, finding him DJ across the world at festivals, clubs, museums and cultural spaces. HIs DJ sets on twin tape decks explore deep, regional sounds using analog-anchored agility not heard/seen anywhere else.

“buoyant instrumental disco that feels like a five-minute tropical vacation.” -SF Weekly

“Straight outta Oakland, a new figure in the handmade-house resurgence … The three tracks on Jackson’s Morning Swim EP are awash in lush textures and limpid color: The record runs the gamut from heavy-lidded piano jams to sprightly, R&B-inspired cuts fleshed out with congas and spine-tingling digital synths. ” -Spin

“starry-eyed dancefloor groove” -XLR8R

“moves from disco drums to metallic synths to bright chords to rough basslines to R&B twinkles to house hi-hats.” -Dummymag

“Carefree disco daydreams flecked with jazz-laden overtones in the form of polished piano samples and deep grooved drum beats gracefully make their way to the dancefloor that is 2013.” -The Line Best Fit

“throws you into the deep end of house grooves ” -Impose

Benedek (Live • Peoples Potential Unlimited )
https://soundcloud.com/ppu/benedek-untitled-ppu

“crafts funkified, bass-heavy music grounded in tradition and history, albeit with his own futuristic slant.” -XLR8R

“There’s something uncanny and familiar about Benedek’s sound palette across these eight instrumentals: the bubbly synths, the popping basslines, the crisp drum machine hits, the canned handclaps, all of which evoke the production tropes of a bygone era. ” -Pitchfork

“The sheer density of boogie on this track makes it nearly indistinguishable from the decades-old musical tradition that inspired it” -Vice

“everything we like in music at Test Pressing in one LP” -Test Pressings

Chrome Canyon (DJ Set • Stones Throw Records)
https://soundcloud.com/chromecanyon

“resonates with a retro pulse; ’80s-tinged arpeggios and theremin sounds soar above the funky mix of live drums and bass.” -XLR8R

“sounds impossibly clean and surprisingly layered, not to mention immaculately arranged … its magnified scope and clarity suggest that it was run through a crystal ball before being committed to tape” -Pitchfork

“analog leap into the textures and sounds of ’80s synths’n’soundtracks genii Giorgio Moroder and Vangelis.” -Spin

“glows with the analog-digital symbiosis of 80s soundscapes.” -Fact Mag

“a synthesizer-fixated artist whose work takes theremin and Vangelis and Moroder and pumps them into a pulsing, widescreen, retro-futuristic electro mesh.” – Stereogum

Pale Blue Dot (Live • Mapzzz)
https://soundcloud.com/pbdofoakland

” refreshing and energetic instrumentals bounce your brittle bones into a state of true ecstasy…Pale Blue Dot is a disco-pop vacation” – Indie Shuffle

“will appeal to fans of easygoing ambient electronic music in the vein of Tycho, as well as anyone coming down from a Todd Terje high:” -SF Weekly

“crystalline guitar lines, spacey synths and a grooving, bouncy bass line.” -The Bay Bridged

Nitemoves (Live • Moodgadget/Tycho)

“It seems likely that Rory O’Connor’s experiences as a touring drummer for Ghostly artists Com Truise and Tycho have influenced his own solo project, Nitemoves. The natural push-and-pull of real drums adds to the inherent funkiness exhibited on “Veaquis,” a track from his upcoming full-length, Themes, which is set for release on November 12 via Moodgadget. Layers of calming synths swell from foreground to background and provide ample melodic accompaniment, but the biggest draw of “Veaquis” is in the interaction of a syncopated synth bass and O’Connor’s flowing drums. Though the arrangement takes a few quick psychedelic detours, it always finds its way back to a steady, lockstep groove.” -XLR8R

Al Lover (Live • PNK SLIME/Impose)
“Al lover makes the sort of DMT infused music that leaves other contemporary psychedelic bands gasping for a breath of fresh air.” – Noisey.com

“Skuzzy and burned at the seams, each beat is stoned off its ass. He’s stated that the psych music of today is what the producers of tomorrow will sample, but rather than give them the opportunity to do so, he’s taken on the task of being ahead of the curve with each record.” -Impose

C.L.A.W.S. (DJ Set • Ecstasy)

“mesmeric house groove … the look and feel of a long lost cut exhumed from the Paradise Garage era.” -Pitchfork

“bravely [ventures] into the depths of dark, rolling house with an array of buzzing synths lighting the way.” -XLR8r

“a tasteful slab of cold synth house … It fits in smoothly with a lot of the retro-leaning, experimentally minded stuff on 100% Silk these days, in the sense that it’s exactly what you’d find yourself listening to, and really loving, at the tail end of an all-night rager. -The Fader

Roche (Live • 100% Silk/Mathematics)

“Though he may be a relatively new name for most, Roche’s sound comes off as mature and developed as a veteran’s. “A Night at the Haç” is a perfect example of his crisp production quality and tasteful sounds, which are demonstrated by effortlessly smooth house grooves, ’80s-referencing synths, and bubbling basslines.” -XLR8R

“meditative deep house” -Resident Advisor

“smoked-out techno and deep house jams” -Amoeba
