official EP release party for forthcoming Sleepyhead on Trouble & Bass. redemption set for Kuhn after the technical difficulties in December
Sleepyhead(Trouble&Bass) New York, NY
http://soundcloud.com/sleepyhead
Brooklyn based bohemian 26 year old Samuel Pohner aka Sleepyhead delivers this strikingly moody and laid back 4 song EP simply titled Motions. Just off a tour a with fellow collaborator Mimosa and like-minded producer Kastle, Sleepyhead starts off the new-year right with this amazing EP. Motions is Sleepyhead's second official release, (first was out on Party Guy Records), so let us introduce you; Sleepyhead started producing music in 2006 when he began working on mostly dubstep and bass music while he was living in San Francisco, CA. SF is also where he started his side project with Mimosa called Sexytime, which you can tell from the name are mostly sultry and floating in the clouds vibed-out tunes. In 2009 Sleepyhead steared away from dubstep and began focusing on the sounds of house, 2 Step and Juke, which brings us to the present. Along side this release in 2012, Sleepyhead has a forthcoming release on our Atlanta home boy's Distal and Mite's label Embassy Records.
Trouble & Bass definitely goes deep on this EP as Sleepyhead delicately interweaves gorgeous melodies while creating layers of space and time using his tools at hand; rolling snares, big kicks, percolating toms, uplifting pads, warm synths, reverbed out vocals, and snips and snaps that all come together to create a feeling of heavy nostalgia that leave you unexpectedly comfortable and almost high. From underwater sounds to club kicks and garage shuffles, you're gonna wish you were listening to this EP up in the clouds or on a deserted island beach.
Kuhn(Civil Music, Astro Nautico) New York, NY
http://soundcloud.com/kuhnmusic
Following a youthful decade of producing beats between New York and Boston, 22 -year-old Bennett Kuhn has honed in on a sound that spans a wide range of contemporary electronic music. Ranging from futurist hip-hop a la Low End Theory through Chi-Town juke to post-dubstep, Kuhn’s sound is raw, energetic and individual.
Irrepressibly linked to Astro Nautico, the Brooklyn-based label/blog/party collective co-founded in 2009 by Kuhn along with Obey City and Paul Jones, his initial output came in the form of a series of self released free EPs including ‘Quiet Nights EP’ (featuring reworks from the likes of Young Montana?, InfinitiRock, Obey City and others) and ‘Spacemusik EP’.
Originally a drummer, Kuhn identifies his early influences in the hyper-rhythmic post-rave experimentalism of Warp Records c.2000, which in turn gave way to a fascination with jungle, dark garage, American hip-hop and the subsequent emergence of dubstep and its many divergences. Today the result is a melting pot of styles in the tradition of wildcard electronic artists such as Luke Vibert, Daedelus, Chris Clark, Squarepusher, and Machinedrum to name a select few.
Kuhn is, in addition, a talented visual artist. Currently focused on the defunct VHS format, Kuhn himself designed the sleeve artwork for ‘Slime Beach EP,’ and his blog features more animated gifs and webart. Importantly, his website http://www.kuhnmusic.com currently exhibits a dazzling 10min animated background flux soundtracked by a mixtape containing over 15 exclusive original tracks.
