Harmonious Discord 021 Vegenaut – Herding Rocks

1. Herding Rocks

2. Mothra’s Tutorial

3. Buller’s Drop

4. Dub Crystal

Every year Harmonious Discord showcases new under the radar artists through a sampler called Discordian Dreaming. This is often a launching pad for the artists to showcase their sound while always leaving the listener with a desire for more. In the case of Vegenaut we couldn’t wait any longer to get a full release and start introducing the world to his trippy synthetic funk. Herding Rocks is a collection tinker-toy driven dance workouts with plenty of Vegenaut’s patented cascading droplets of melody and off center moments of glitch. Vegenaut first crossed our horizon while playing parties in rural texas, we heard him playing some really amazing dj gigs and came to find out it was mostly his own creations. Since then our inboxes have been full of one quality tune after another. It is our pleasure to give him the feature on our 21st release and look forward to a long string of projects and remixes from vegetable explorer. Herding Rocks is a collection of musical journeys that pay homage to early techno and house, most notably older Soul Oddity and 808 state. Gone are the days of music with synthesis and pitch with every step. Vegenaut keeps these themes alive in a 4 track EP of selections that cause mounting shivers to the skin. Our title tune Herding Rocks launches with simple rhythms and unsettling ambient textures. As they cross and collide, bend and flex, they build into drunken hurricane of cacophony. Buller’s Drop follows in similar fashion with staple 909 drums and lots of percussive melody lines. The drop comes in when the bass creeps to the forefront, stretchy to grimy regions of the sonic spectrum. Mothra’s Tutorial is next and a favorite of the label’s staff. A touch slower and thick with the roll of a great minimal techno tune, this selection is full of dissonant merry-go-round arpeggios that play against a building bass groove. All of which builds into a massive drop where the bass chews off the leash and goes bizzerk. Mothra’s Tutorial will be hidden gem for the minimal dj that has a head for the weird. Our excursion finalizes with a slow jam called Dubcrystal that is littered with tons of other-world synthesis driven by classic electro beats and bass.

Vegenaut-
Taking piano lessons at an early age inspired in Vegenaut a love for keyboards and synthesizers which still persists. Collecting various different synths through high school and college, he fostered his musical skill and creativity by jamming with friends or playing in bands. At the age of 19 he began DJing, inspired by electronic dance events he attended around and in Houston, Austin, and Dallas. Less than a year ago he decided to take his love for synthesizers and electronic dance music both to the next logical step, and began to investigate production. His releases today are an early result of this ongoing experience, and they clearly reflect his love for quirky, hypnotic, and techy sounds suitable for dancing and headphone listening both.

Brian Peek / Jeff Stallings – “strange, weird and spooky… I dig it!” – Below Zero Radio Show / Energy FM (San Francisco)

In March of 2009 a silence fell over a packed SXSW event while the clacking of audio cables and random mic checks cut through the conversation and whoots of an anxious crowd. A couple seconds later the crowd would be experiencing a dancefloor experience with electronic beats, folk inspired guitar, and disco flair. Anyone who has heard Ishi live is in love with their catchy melodies and playful vibe. Ishi is the brain child of Brad Dale who produces edgy techno music for labels like Harmonious Discord and Red Music; and JT Mudd who has been involved in a majority of Dallas based music. In early 2009 Taylor Rea joined the group to provide a sultry female presence to the already sex-filled dance experience. To celebrate the release of Ishi’s full length album out this May “Into the Tree’s” Harmonious Discord is proud to present a set of remixes by local heavy hitters guaranteed to make you shake your dandelion.

Harmonious Discord 020 Ishi- Shake Your Remixes

1. Ishi- Shake Your Dandelion (Summer Dub)

4. Ishi- Pastel Lights (PointBender’s Flikr Affair Mix)

Purchase

Our first selection is a warm summer time rendition of the original courtesy of Ishi themselves. This version takes the synth heavy dance tune and takes it down a notch with floating rhodes samples and simple electro beats. This take pays homage to early deep house innovators with lots of natural shades that overall show the diversity of this super group. Next up is HD newcomer Red Sean with a woofer shattering galaxy disco edit. Sean takes the original elements and sets them in play with a huge electro disco bass. This one is bound for the airwaves and picks up halfway through with moving congas and sexy key changes. Red Sean provides a cut with instant classic written all over it! Next up is one of Dallas’s most dynamic duos Red Eye and Blixaboy. In their own regard each has accomplished immense in the digital realm with releases on notable techno, house, and dubstep imprints across the globe. This mix solidifies they are no one trick pony’s with a techy dubby cut guaranteed to get you lost in a swirl of pads and sub-bass. Halfway through comes the break into a dub inspired rhythm and lots of reverberated vocal snipps. Lastly comes a remix of another track being featured on Ishi’s May release called Pastel Lights by Harmonious Discord founder and label artist PointBender. This workout contains lots of 909 drums and vocal stutters that chop the vocals and melody into a syncopated playground. However, everything changes after the first drop when PB showcases the penetrating disco vibe that Ishi is known for. From here on out its all chopped everything and lots of funky bass variations. We hope you enjoy these remixes and be on the lookout for the full length album by Ishi out this May.

Ishi
Timing is everything… So is the case of John T. Mudd & Brad Dale combining efforts through the arms of a beloved friend. This was first light of the journey known as Ishi. Material was brought by both forces to construct their first endeavors of a full length. Pulling sounds from organic to electric, the two merge their influences from folk to electro; folktronic. The process has been evolving for the past year and a half. Connecting the dots for the band’s commanding live presence, to the table comes singer Taylor Rea and drummer J.J. Mudd. On the brink of wrapping up final production for their 2010 release “Through the Trees”, Ishi now continues to expand their live schedule, sharing their music with all whom will listen.

Red Eye and Blixaboy
After only a short time working together Blixaboy (Wanz Dover) and Red Eye(Scott Canfield) have quickly proven themselves to be a dynamic duo in the electronic music world with their first two releases (remixes of  Datarocks “Amarillion”, and Depthides “Lost In A Daydream”).  Coming from two different worlds, they have combined their knowledge and skill in their respective fields to form a sound all their own. Wanz (founder of the new “Astroblaque” label, current SXSW Laptop Deathmatch champion) brings his extensive experience in live bands (Mazinga Phazer, Black Dots), and history of dub music. Scott adds his extensive experience in dj’ing (20 years) and knowledge of techno/house music (remixes and productions on labels such as Yoshitoshi, Robsoul, .dotbleep, Positiva) Together the worlds mesh into a bassy, detroit influenced, indie sound full of tricky beat structures, heady melodic dubstep vibes, and spacey synthy soundscapes.  Sometimes for the floor, sometimes for the head, and sometimes for both, their quality production and unique approach will definitely catch your ear.

PointBender

Harmonious Discord 019 KiloWatts- Nocturnal Sunrise

Release Date: February 16^th 2010

1. KiloWatts- Frozen Funk

2. KiloWatts- Nocturnal Sunrise

3. KiloWatts- Remembering Spring

Written in the pages of our legacy is an artist that we have been in love with since his first remix project with us over 6 years ago.  KiloWatts premiered on the label as a breakthrough artist trying his hands at his first couple tech house tunes.  The response was huge and KiloWatts has been a Harmonious Discord staple ever since.  Over the years his releases have amazed our listeners and he has always stayed true to the obscure and abstract nature of the label and in many ways represents the signature sound we have taken and spanned over 19 releases.  Since his first remix with us he has branched out releasing EP’s on some of the hottest imprints in today’s techno landscape such as Mothership, Thoughtless, OM, and DirtyBird.  Whether he is on tour with his band KiloWatts and Vanek, playing live shows alongside Voodeux counterpart Tanner Ross, or releasing intellectual dance music from his solo project KiloWatts James Watts is always pushing sonic boundaries to create a sound that is widely appreciated and beautifully unique.

We begin with a deep moody soundscape of Thom Yorke esk dissonant Rhodes that moves in waves of calming security.  In the background there is a sharpness building that breaks through with the introduction of an elastic bass shake down and our funky groove is set in motion.  Frozen Funk is a deep cerebral tune with plenty of swirly distractions that culminate into a funky syncopation of synth sounds, vocals, and bass.  The elements dance together before exploding into an energy filled neutron star of sheer musical mastery.  Floating keys and frozen vocal stabs add to landscape and force the senses into perpetual motion.  Our second selection resides in a darker place.  Nocturnal Sunrise is a slow creepy march of haunting melody.  The track builds with the addition of off-pitch keys and terrifying drones only occasionally interrupted by growls of resonant bass.  This selection gives you the impression you entered the wrong room and there is no way out!  Our final track is a great light-hearted deep melody driven tune.  Remembering Spring pays homage to the pastel colors and warm atmosphere of spring with light trickling reversed Rhodes and plenty of sneaky pads that enter like a breeze and trail off taking the hard cold of the winter with it.

His work embraces the bulk of electronic genres, including breaks, IDM, techno, and downtempo. His albums on Artificial Music Machine that are full of visionary dimensions, fusing together a dexterous knowledge of sound synthesis, deep emotional articulation, and solid melodic intuition. Peppered throughout these monumental statements are releases with class labels such as Somnia, Harmonious Discord, and his own outlet, KiloWatts Music, that celebrate his adept technical expertise, often bringing a whirlwind of digital wizardry in the form of glitches and edits.

Harmonious Discord 018 Discordian Dreaming 3 Sampler

1. Patchen featuring Super – Agent Dangerass – Acid Love

2. Vegenaut – There it Is

3. AllenMD – Parsley

4. John Walker – P.M.D

5.Elevotion – Ice Caverns

It is our pleasure to announce we are ending the year with our acclaimed series of samplers aimed at exposing newer artists that represent a new breed of innovative producers.  Discordian Dreaming has historically been a deep trippy collaboration of tracks that dissociate the listener and leads them down dark hallways into obscurity.  Discordian Dreaming 3 just may be the best hallway venture to date with selections from Patchen Preston (Om), John Walker (Fair Park), Elevotion (Deepness), AllenMD, and new to the label Veganaut.  The Discordian Dreaming Samplers are perfect fodder for deeper areas of the dance-floor and a sonic treat when listeners enjoying the full scope of sonic depth.

This year’s sampler starts off with a deep West-Coast inspired offering from Patchen Preston and vocalist Super-Agent Dangerass. Tribal drums and deep chords set the relaxed tone while an acid bass line pierces through the layers to get hips shaking. Dangerasses’ tongue and cheek vocals turn the night naughty with lots of sinful suggestion and luscious word-play. Next in rotation is Texas native John Walker who is well known for his subversive brand of funk. P.M.D is a deep dive into pad conversations and outer world percussion that feels like a rush of cold air inside your cranium freezing your senses and relaxing your body. The last Discordian Dreaming series featured a break-through artist and introduced us to his creepy brand of techno. AllenMD returns to this sampler with an army of drones and percussion from faraway lands. Parsley is a swirling hurricane of harmonic remnants and pulsating bass that is a great tool for late night dance-floors. Following in Allen’s theme of hypnosis comes Nick Dolan aka Vegenauts synthesizer symphony. Random computer bleeps and effects trills make it clear that this robot is no following instructions. Vegenauts unique brand techno will be soon be an in-demand addition to forward thinking DJ’s. Last but never least, is label friend and Deepness Records founder Brent Thomas aka Elevotion. Elevotion first brought is a minimal classic on our last sampler properly called “Discordian Accordian”. Brent returns to this sampler with another minimal masterpiece complete with robot chants and lots of melting synthesis.

Patchen

After discovering electronic music while listening to late night radio at the pivotal age of 13, Patchen realized that creating new ways to translate the world around him into music would become his life’s work. Early success as a member of the experimental improv group MFH led to studio sessions with Warner Brothers recording artist, MC900 Ft Jesus. He then went on to design sound and compose music for a number of independent films, as well as releasing his own music through various imprints including OM records.  Patchen is also actively a professional sound designer, bringing his signature sound to music software tools from companies like Fxpansion and Ilio.

John Walker

Over the last decade the disc jockey john walker aka “turn@round” has definitely enjoyed his existence in the underground world of dance music. In 2004 Mr. Walker released his first EP on Fair Park Records. The record was a hit around the globe, receiving positive press, such as XLR8R referring to his work as a “hot spot” in north america for minimalism. 2005 followed up with a bang as his second release with MVM Records caused a bit of a buzz at WMC. 2006 proved to be promising as his original work and remixes were licensed for WGN’s “Racecar Driver” TV/DVD production as well as the completion of his first music video for “dubwash”.

Elevotion-

Brent Thomas aka Elevotion began listening to edm in the late 90′s after being exposed to it by one of his high school friends. His initial exposure was through Hazy Daze, Jumble Tribe, Zedan, & 32 degree parties in the Dallas area. Shortly there after he developed a deep love for the many styles associated with the edm world and decided to start djing. His parents bought him a pair of plastic Gemini turntables & a bluedog Numark mixer for Christmas in 1997. He bought his first record Plastikman – Splastik from Bill’s records and tapes and started djing in 1998. In 2004 he started the Deepness Recordings label specializing in deep, bassy dance floor tracks and by 2006 his artist name Elevotion was born. A lot of people wonder what is up with the name. It was actually a name that he got from a dream and is basically the words elevation and devotion put together. You can find the Deepness Recordings catalog on Stompy.com as well as Elevotion’s new Harmonious Discord release on Beatport.com.

AllenMD-

AllenMD (Allen McDonald) grew up an avid fan of a music ranging all styles, and it shows in his skillful selection of tracks that he incorporates into his crowd-pleasing sets today.  With over 8 years of experience behind the decks, AllenMD has crafted a very ominous yet funky sound that he delivers with every set that can range any style including house, minimal, techno, and everything in between.  With his constant passion to push the envelope he has gained the respect of his peers and fellow artists everywhere he is heard.  AllenMD has been booked regularly throughout the Texas circuit in top clubs across the state.  The past 2 years has seen him begin the next phase of his career as he began producing his own tracks with the same surgical precision he delivers in mixing his sets.  With several projects in the works, he just released Suh Press on the Discordian Dreaming 2 album through the Harmonious Discord label available on Beatport now.

Vegenaut-

Taking piano lessons at an early age inspired in Vegenaut a love for keyboards and synthesizers which still persists. Collecting various different synths through high school and college, he fostered his musical skill and creativity by jamming with friends or playing in bands. At the age of 19 he began DJing, inspired by electronic dance events he attended around and in Houston, Austin, and Dallas.

Harmonious Discord 017 PointBender- Sifting Through Circuits

1. No Kiss

2. Sly Operator

3. Vibe Monster

4. Tv Pill

5. Hero Belt

6. The Red Eye

Harmonious Discord is proud to present the debut album from Grey music member and label front-man Sean Anderson aka PointBender.  In early 2007 Sean started performing a loopy, fun, improve based live performance act that was focused on very basic techno music with an underlying twist of sharpness and tech accents.  A lot of the early song creations came from experiments that Sean had during his live shows.  In 2008, Sean decided to make PointBender his main music project and from that came a string of Ep’s, remixes, and live shows.  Much like the label, the project kept true to estranged noises and complex soundscapes that culminate into an overall dance-floor experience like no other.  This album covers all shades of PointBender, from deep offerings that explode in headphones to dance floor rompers that tingle with insanity.

No Kiss starts us off with a super moody interlude that draws you in.  Do not operate machinery while this ones on, a nice sci-fi beginning to the LP.  Sly Operator swoops in to shake you back to life with some punchy Plastic City-ish tech house and moogy lead synth line which pierces the midnight air.  Vibe Monster is another hip shaker with cascading vibe trills and bouncy bass that steps up and down to pierce your center of gravity.  Vibe Monster breaks into swirls of drunken Rhodes conversations that get vacuumed into the return of the smooth beat and bass line.  TV Pill features the return on Grey vocalist and purveyor off all things creepy Professor Diabolicas.  A homage to the hours wasted away staring at flashy images displayed by everyone’s favorite vacuum tube.  Tv Pill is a techno floor banger with lots of disruptive static and thick rigid bass tones.  This tune reminds us all the bliss gained by turning our brain off and embracing the moving picture images.  Hero Belt takes us from Detroit to Berlin by way of a 303 reminiscent undertow groove and driving closed hi-hat and dubby repetitive keys.  The Red Eye is pure Berlin-ish bliss with hypnotic repetitive tones in different octaves and a punchy bass. It has a tenseness to it and is definitely a building, moody bitch. It’s a walk down a dark hallway with things jumping out at you. One for you Coccoon Rec fans.

PointBender (Harmonious Discord/Guidance/Chalant)

http://www.pointbender.com

Pointbender is the solo project of Grey (Guidance/Fair Park/MVM) music member and Harmonious Discord label owner Sean Anderson.

In 2000, Sean began producing tracks with Eric Reeves under the “Grey” moniker. In 2002, Grey released their first project on the highly acclaimed label “Guidance”– a release that was featured on Miami CSI, MTV’s Road Rules and the Real World. Less than a year later, Grey would open up for John Tejeda at the Homebar and release 5 singles on various imprints.

Grey continued to release tracks between 2003 and 2006 on Blunted Funk, Deepness, Boogie Basics, and their own label, Harmonious Discord. A move to Austin prompted Sean to start producing under Pointbender as an outlet for simple/fun techno music focused on analog devices and strange dissonance.

Sean Anderson’s various music projects have been performed around the world to cities including Toronto, Helsinki, Marseilles, London, Berlin, LA, San Francisco, New York, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, and all over Texas. Although considered “tech house” by most, Pointbender’s Live PA performances incorporate a wide range of electronica genres and styles–from techno to house to minimal– that blend seamlessly to create what he calls “epic nonsense.”

Limacon

In the winter of 1997, Santa Cruz-native Christopher T. Lee fell in love with his first Nord Lead I synth—and Limaçon was born. Over the ensuing decade, Limaçon has carved a solid international rep, first via live PAs and later with electrifying DJ sets, as an artist who puts the move back into minimal. In the last two years, Limaçon made the move to San Francisco and scaled down his imposing hardware arsenal in order to focus on studio work. And focus he certainly did. From the expansive dance-floor journeys of his live sets, Limaçon has honed his sound into subtle, finely structured glitch-house gems that linger in the ear long after the record ends.

Limaçon’s debut record Catch, released on Steve Bug’s seminal Poker Flat label in 2005, brought the producer instant acclaim, selling thousands of copies in the first six months. IMP, his sophomore effort on Resopal Schallware in April 2006, let him flex his tech-funk muscle, while his summertime follow-up on Intrinsic Design, Muster Funk, took on a deeper, late-night vibe. Most recently, Limaçon’s three-tracker on Force Inc., entitled That Hard, has been blowing up techy floors around the globe since it dropped last August.

As a producer pursuing both the warmth of house music and the machine edge of minimal techno, Limaçon slips perfectly into the nu-dance spectrum. “I love analog synthesis, which the essence of minimal techno. Minimal is about exploration, creating new sounds. But I try to keep that funk in my music, because at the end of the day, this music is for the dance floor. I try to keep a balance between something for your mind and something for your body, between experimenting with new sounds and giving people something they can grab onto.”

Molecule

Bending rules by bending sound, Molecule’s diverse work is directly related to his deep understanding and training on multiple instruments in various forms of music. Also a professional Sound Designer, Molecule’s releases push sonic boundaries and carve new paths into the trails electro, techno, and electronic music. His live dj sets and live pa performances focus on bringing new and interesting collections of frequency to the dance floor for a new generation.

PointBender

PointBender is the solo project of Grey music member and label frontman Sean Anderson. The PointBender project focuses on minimal music with lots of swing and character. Often Synth driven and strange his music is sharp with a twist of nonsense. Sean started performing the solo live PA in September 2007 at the Southern Junktion Music Festival and has since played various venues across the globe. His debut album will be coming August 2009. Be on the look out for a series of releases on his home label as well as inspired collaborations in the near future.

HD0015 Urban Gravity- Parallel World

A1. Movement

A2. Parallel World

B1. Rising Groove

In early 2001 Harmonious Discord releases starting appearing on record store shelves all across the globe with the double artist showcase (HD001- Litex- Unimpossible).  Eric Reeves aka Litex set the motion for years to come of original and obscure releases from a label that is often a must-grab for those in the know.  Since then, Eric has released under his own moniker on many other labels, and under Magic Shoe for many more.

Eric joins us 8 years later to release a three track stereophonic dance-floor experience.  Alongside production mate Asif Ahmed, Urban Gravity is known for their funk-filled bass-driven tech-house.  Movement is a syncopated waist mover with hammer-tone bass licks and fluid synth motion.  Parallel World is a conversation between precise harmonic textures.  This selection has a big sound that increases in energy, a proper choice when upping the ante.  Rising Groove leaves a more melodic footprint with tons of greatly structured synth accents and ominous sounding bass.

A1. Molecule- I wont let you Fall

A2. Elevotion- Discordian Accordian

B1. AllenMD- Suh-Press

B2. Patchen- Reflections of a Misplaced Love

Again we venture on a journey of abstraction and cacophony. The second installment of our Discordian Dreaming Sampler series features artists who we feel consistently break boundaries and push the envelope of sonic invention. This edition features 4 Texas-based artists and tracks that we feel define the estranged environment that is Discordian Dreaming!

Purchase

The collection starts out with in-house favorite Molecule, hot off his highly acclaimed Luna Rd. remixes. In this project Molecule ventures from his dance-floor heavy sound to provide a melodic electro masterpiece. Basic in design but beautiful in conception “I won’t let you Fall” is a trip into deep textures and sharp percussion. The tones are so penetrating that you are guaranteed to be humming the melody on your local commute.

The second selection comes to us from Deepness label founder and good friend Brent Thomas aka Elevotion. Brent is known for being able to produce selections that are fit for all palates. “Discordian Accordion” is a deep, heady techno tune with rocking toms and plenty of sizzling effects trills.

Next in-line is newcomer AllenMD. Allen’s been surrounded by world class talent for many years but the only thing that we can attribute this gem to is an astounding ear and a knack for sound design. “Suh-Press “is a bass-heavy minimal tune that guaranteed to translate well on the dance-floor. Lots of dissonant Doppler voices and static computer noises lead the listener into a world of Tron-based breakdance moves.

Last but never least is HD favorite Patchen Preston with another amazing deep synth-driven late night lullaby. “Reflections of a Misplaced Love” is a mid-tempo deep techno tune with evolving leads and arpeggios. This selection has shades of early electro and techno with a new age hustle.
