Chautauqua (DJ Set • Voltaire Records)
http://soundcloud.com/voltaire_records/sets/chautauqua-ep

“Bowser pilots a hypnotic, synth-driven escapade here, dolloping layers of new-new age pads and celestial melodies on top of a solidly marching disco beat. The almost six-minute endeavor flows with a carefree ease, rendering it both a good theme for forgetting your worries and something that might inspire you to sweat it all out on the floor.” -XLR8R

“If one thing can be said about producer Bobby Browser (the stage moniker for Andre Ferriera), it’s that he knows his dance music history. The statement is somewhat obvious if you’ve had the pleasure of hearing his vintage-sounding, classic-house-inspired tracks.” -SF Weekly

“In typical 100% Silk fashion, the EP’s four trackjoin the dots between touchy-feely, retro-futurist house, acid and slick, mid ’80s synth-boogie. Throughout, the production is blissfully glassy-eyed and authentically vintage. The results are superb…” -Juno

“Voltaire label head Randy Ellis and producer Loose Shus collaborated on the four-track release, marrying driving Italo basslines and Krauty synth atmospheres with spare dance beats and new-age vibes. The result is something like a 15-minute spirit quest” -XLR8R
“Held together by the most precise & patient handiwork and aurally-crafted keyboard structures that you can fathom, it’s no wonder you can hear their guiding tones of inspired inspirations falling side-by-side their four productions; putting the likes of the Art Of Noise, Steve Roach, Tangerine Dream, Austra, GateKeeper and (the always loved) The Drive motion picture soundtrack influencing their midsts.” -Aerial Noise

“Blends sample-based boom-bap, ethereal soundscapes, and other genres into an individual statement.” -Prefixmag

“If you’re a fan of the current hip-hop trend towards spacey, hypnotic effects (see: Clams Casino, Evian Christ) or even just ambient electronic music, you’ll definitely want to give this a listen.” The Bay Bridged

“Tammariello’s productions seem to have carved themselves into a unique place between instrumental hip-hop (think Teebs, Bonobo, and the likes) and blissful techno (think Four Tet, Gold Panda, and the likes), incorporating dense soundscapes and sparkling melodies along with deep bass and starkly minimal beats.” -mapzzz

“Think Tycho dipped in blues-heavy RnB.” -Gluttony is the New Black

Chucha Santamaria y Usted (Young Cubs • Live)

“Perhaps disco would have been granted a longer shelf life had it been imbued with a sense of historical significance. Chucha Santamaria Y Usted aims to make that case, a pair of Puerto Rican and Brooklyn natives that now calls Oakland home. With a spirit and political sense that recalls “Arular”-age MIA, the two weave myriad subgenres of dance and pop with their message.” -RCRDLBL

“Craft forward-thinking electronic dance-pop that confronts ideas bigger than just getting people moving” -The Bay Bridged
“The album is arresting, effortlessly and earnestly fusing Latin freestyle, Italo disco, Nineties pop, and electro, along the way referencing Santigold, Ana Tijoux, Madonna, and maybe MIA before she got annoying — and, of course, the cross-pollinated proto-mashups of the American melting pot that Córdova had originally been inspired by.” -East Bay Express

“A dash of Puerto Rican spice” -NPR

“spins echoes of Giorgio Moroder, Blondie, and even early Cure into woozy, whispery disco that works equally well for babysitting and baby-making.” -SPIN

“Shock’s picture-perfect debut single “Heaven” is a sultry and seductive pop gem that does inherit its share of sweaty 2am Italo vibes but fortunately doesn’t stop there, culminating in a simply irresistible instrumental bridge that brings in a compelling layer of perfectly shimmering guitars.” -No Fear of Pop

“Shock’s spaced out, slow motion disco funk vibe is keeping me sane today.” -GITNB

“Shock specializes in live riffing and phenomenal grooves, evoking the feel of sleek electronic funk and warm emotional pop. The gentle brush of a wind-chime signals a mental journey from the pyramids to the ocean, where vocals and guitar are surrounded by warm synth layers, deep bass, and electric rhythms. The live Shock performance humanizes the dance-club and evokes a new-age experience that is both contemporary and classic.” -Disco Workout
