PillowTalk

PillowTalk is Sammy D, Ryan Williams
and Michael Tello. Based out of the
famous Lower Haight District in San
Francisco, PillowTalk's music fuses
classic R&B, boogie and disco with
underground house and techno with an original feel. With releases out on
Visionquest, Life & Death and Wolf +
Lamb, 2012 is shaping up to be a
huge year as they hit the road with the
live band. It all started when they found
themselves up late, gathered around
the baby grand piano in Ryan’s
kitchen. Tello would be strumming on
guitar and Sammy would be fiddling
around on the Wurlitzer. It all just came together organically…without
knowing it, melodies would form,
songs would appear and before
anyone realised, Sammy would be
singing some off-hand hook and, hey
presto, you had what Arthur Russell would call; “first thought, best
thought” compositions. Soon, these impromptu and
improvised jam sessions were
recorded on iPhone apps before being
taken to ‘the lab” (a space about two
blocks away) and from there they
were transformed into alluring, charming, dance-pop ‘songs’. With experience of, and backgrounds
in, so many genres, Pillow Talk are
making some seriously inspiring and
beautifully original music. If you’re
trying to pin down their exact sound
you may have to refer to their motto of ‘D.A.G’ (destroy all genres - a term
borrowed from a famed underground
San Fran DJ). With influences ranging
from the Beach Boys to Sam Cooke,
from Freddie Hubbard to Harry
Nilsson, and from Larry Heard to Theo Parrish, you can tell these guys are
ruled from the right side of their
brains. Having just started composing,
this trio are still finding their own true
groove, with their full potential yet to
be explored… A delightful debut single (‘Love Makes
Parks’ on the revered Visionquest
imprint) is soon to be followed by a
beautiful full length on Life and Death,
before following that up with another
finely crafted EP for NYC house darlings, Wolf + Lamb. As well as that,
a live show is in the works, soon to be
debuted later this year. We look
forward to following this fresh and
exciting new sound and realize some
of your deepest secrets are revealed “Pillow Talking”, so we are just lucky
to listen in…

Ilija Rudman

The Diogenes Club

The Diogenes Club коллектив из Великобритании, зачинщиком которого стал талантливый музыкант из Уэльса Matthew Williams. Позднее к нему присоединился его земляк Paul Giles, именно его голос вы услышите во всех песнях tDC. Их стиль можно охарактеризовать как британский синтипоп, это возврат к синтам 80-ых в сопровождении очень приятного, меланхоличного вокала.

Flat Earth Society

Группа была образована в 1998 году композитором/кларнетистом Peter Vermeersch и с тех пор играет причудливую и утончённую музыку с диапазоном от рока и авангарда до классики и карикатуры, от красивого кабинетного джаза до jazz noir и jazz-rock. Бельгийский журнал Knack назвал Flat Earth Society «вероятно, самой эластичной группой».
