Octo Octa (Live • 100% Silk)

“Octo Octa has long been one of the stronger cards in the 100% Silk deck; after hearing Between Two Selves it’s tempting to declare him the strongest.” -Pitchfork

“though his music is clearly inspired by vintage house sounds, Octo Octa offers more than simple retreads; there’s a streamlined sensibility to his work, and though he’s not making pop music per se, he shows a real talent for employing subtly sticky hooks within a dancefloor framework.” -XLR8R

“dreamy palette of reverby synths and subtly crunchy drum patterns” -Fader

“gift for flipping fleeting, hauntingly familiar vocal samples into glowing, melancholy-tinged late night dancefloor gems:” -Gorilla Vs. Beat

“blend of early-house bliss and postdubstep adventurism; ” -Timeout

” sun-kissed house” -Fact Mag

MATRiXXMAN (DJ Set • Fifth Wall)

“slick garage sheen with elastic basslines and plenty of nods to vintage Detroit techno atmospheres” -XLR8R

“pot-luck selection of amped-up, bass-heavy sounds” -Fact Mag

“straight techno.” -Pitchfork

“split the difference between the first generation of Detroit techno and the first generation of Chicago house, with sparsely arranged grooves and sounds straight out of the predigital times.” -Chicago Reader

“slick production chops informed by a studied knowledge of dance music’s past and present.” -SF Weekly

Woolfy (DJ Set • DFA/Permanent Vacation)

“one of our time’s most underrated disco wizards.” -The Fader

“borrows DFA’s oldest, and best, trick: Trojan Horse-ing in a great pop number under the guise of a dance track.” -Pitchfork

“Since the late 90s Simon James has been one of the pioneers of the underground disco movement since it’s nascent years when Rong and DFA were boutique labels putting out weirdo disco and no wave before dance-punk was hipster de rigeur.” -KCRW

“playful and funky in all the right ways” Lagasta

“flies in the face of almost every prevailing trend in current dance music.” -XLR8R

“We are talking about soulful emanations smooth like Chic at their most lethargic, and sexiest, or even Shuggie Otis’ Strawberry Letter 23, one to listen straight after Quiet Village’s Silent Movie, now that’s a tall order of bliss we are talking about here.” -20 Greatest Jazz Funks Greats

Edit Murphy (DJ Set • Smoke N’ Mirrors)

Edit Murphy emerged in October 2011 with his Motown Edits EP, reworked tracks from a handful of originators of Motor City soul, including Marvin Gaye and Bill Withers. The release quickly gained attention all over the Internet, with support from WOLF Music, Space Ranger, Soul Clap and equally mysterious edit-maestros, Tiger & Woods. His track “Need You” first appeared on OM Lounge Vol. 12 and was released as a single on Smoke N Mirrors as well as his first official EP featuring “Brooklyn Nights” and “Beverly Thrills”

Glenn Jackson

“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

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

“Morning Swim moves from disco drums to metallic synths to bright chords to rough basslines to R&B twinkles to house hi-hats. Understandably, it’s a little bit jarring at first, but by the end these contradictory elements have come together
in a way that seems to make perfect sense.” -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

Soft Metals

“one of the most accomplished and ambitious of the myriad new synth-pop acts coming out of the States.” -Fact Magazine

“bears traces of virtually every bleakly gliding descendant of Kraftwerk’s O.G. synth-pop grooves, from gothic early-1980s new wave to house, techno, and electroclash.” -Pitchfork

“part Chromatics/Glass Candy, part early-’80s Kraftwerk, part My Bloody Valentine, and all good.” -XLR8R

“synth pop for strobing dancefloors and dark, dank bedrooms across the country … your hips will shake to Soft Metals’ flashes of techno, house, and early industrial. Slick, smooth, icy, and cool” -Altered Zones

“Dark and sexy retro-futuristic Italo-disco created on vintage analog synths and drum machines” -Gorilla Vs. Bear

Loose Shus

“track after hard-hitting, disco-burning track” -SF Weekly

“..more fuel for your fantasy getaway.” -Bigstereo

“cushy electro-disco” -RCRDLBL

Lusine (Live • Ghostly International)

” synth-flecked, pop-infused sonic explorations ” -XLR8R
“Effortless electro-pop beauty” -Spin

” an intricate, warm and transporting mix of ambient downtempo music that draws on techno, house, hip-hop beats and more. ” -NPR

“[moves] from floaty, amorphous ambient-house to sharp, blippy techno and back again like it’s the most natural thing in the world.” -RCRDLBL

“The Waiting Room is aural ecstasy, like a warm blanket of light beats… McIlwain has succeeded in making not only a great record, but also a thoroughly lovely one.” -Exclaim
“the perfect kind of warm, characterful electronica to wrap yourself up in during a harsh bout of late-winter cold.” -Dummymag

La Vampires (DJ Set • 100% Silk/Not Not Fun)

“blissful dance floor gold” -Gorilla Vs. Bear

“A one-woman wave of dazed, lo-fi pop” -The Guardian

“The result is a smokey disco fog that wraps itself around every one of these well-crafted anti-homage pop emanations, house tunes that glide and slither among the siren-like vocal compromise at which these blossoming musicians arrive.” -TinyMixTapes

” it is clear that Ms. Brown has an affinity for her ’90s pop and R&B divas, and knows how to put it to use.” -Altered Zones

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

“constructs tight deep house in the best sense of the word.” -XLR8R
