Honey Dijon Gives a Whole New Spin to Beyonce’s “Break My Soul”

People can’t stop talking about the new Beyonce album Renaissance. Whether it’s for Queen Bee’s embrace of the house and disco aesthetics or the recent edits to the album that sprung from initial controversy, the new album has a lot of material worth talking about and more worth dancing to. Just before the album dropped though, some may have missed or noticed that the album’s big single “Break My Soul” had a remix package. In it are four remixes. There are different takes provided by will.i.am, Terry Hunter, and Nita Aviance. But the standout track from this group comes from a collaborator and house legend Honey Dijon.
If you didn’t already know, Honey Dijon lent her production talents on two of Renaissance‘s opening tracks “COZY” and “ALIEN SUPERSTAR”. But while the album maintains a cool four-to-the-floor rhythm, this remix from Honey Dijon was crafted to cater to nightclubs everywhere. It has these hypnotizing drums that are boisterous as they are groovy. It interpolates small elements from the song, while throwing them into Beyonce’s commanding vocals and the shuffle-inducing rhythm. It’s also an incredible flex for the Chicago native. Honey Dijon is a vibrant example of how house music’s origin from the Windy City are more relevant today than they ever have been. Here’s what she said on Instagram in regards to her recent work on Renaissance and the experience overall:
“To share my Chicago house music roots and black queer and trans culture with you and the world is profound and emotional. I am honored, humbled, delirious with joy, and proud. Thank you to my boo @amakadsi for believing in me. Your love and support means the world to me. Thank you to my music partner @lukesolomon who is my Bernie Taupin. I love you and thank you for all of the love and support since our early days of dancing together in loft parties in Chicago. I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to my management @samzholt @josh.d.mongan for all of your hard work and dedication. I appreciate you both so much. Thank you @rickylawson_ @marielgomerez for all of your hard work and bringing me into this amazing project. It’s been such a pleasure to work with you. A special thank you to my crew @cpenmusic @davegilesii @cor.ece for your amazing talents. I am over the moon”

Segan Combines Energy with Beauty on New Single “In Your Arms”

Segan is a relatively new name to the drum n bass scene. Songs of his like “Champion” and “Attack Order” drop an insane amount of audio-action that you would expect from artists in the genre. However, the Los Angeles producer has dropped a new single “In Your Arms” that strays away from DnB and offers in its stead a vocally-charged, half time anthem.
“In Your Arms” kicks off with a flurry synths and singing that is reminiscent of the vocal stylings of Imogen Heap. It’s soft, breathy and enchanting. The drums pick up and as they get to the drop we are met with a slower climax than what most Segan fans would be used to. But the glimmering synths and gnarly bassline combine this euphoric energy with a hard kick-drum pattern. This gives “In Your Arms” a lot of invigorating elements that compel you to dance to its beautiful beat.
It’s an impressive sound for an artist to shift in that has been built their career around the growing American drum and bass boom. In their third year as a producer, their expanding into the dubstep/future bass sound made popular by the likes of Illenium and Seven Lions (the former of which he has remixed too). “‘In Your Arms’ is meant to scratch an itch you didn’t know was there,” said Segan.  “[The song] is the embodiment of where the Segan project is headed.”
If that’s true, then we certainly can’t wait to hear more! But meanwhile, make sure to check out “In Your Arms” by Segan.

[Interview] SIDEPIECE’s Management Breaks Down What It Took To Bring Survivor Out For Lollapalooza

There were at least four major festivals across North America this past weekend, not including Tomorrowland wrapping up its third weekend in Belgium, one of which being Lollapalooza in Chicago. The festival would have been celebrating its 20th anniversary last year if not for COVID-19 forcing the 2020 and 2021 editions to postpone, so this year was especially significant in its first full event back.
With Metallica, Dua Lipa, Machine Gun Kelly, J. Cole, Kygo, Kaskade, Green Day, The Kid Laroi, and more representing the top line, there was plenty to enjoy from this year’s lineup. Meanwhile, over on Perry’s Stage on Saturday, something legendary was happening: SIDEPIECE was amassing an unbelievable crowd for their first time playing Lollapalooza.
Those who made the wise decision to stay for the entire set were witness to an incredible sight, as well. Jim Peterik from Survivor came out on stage and Nitti Gritti moved back to the drums as they played a live rendition of “Eye of the Tiger.” Surprisingly, the Chicago-native band has never, not once, played Lollapalooza (which, if you missed it, is in Chicago), so this was a truly historic moment for the Windy City.
After we heard of what happened, we had to reach out to Jason Rosenbaum, part of the management team for SIDEPIECE (on the Party Favor side for Spacecamp Management), who also manages Wuki, Rossy, and Hex Cougar, to find out just what it took to make this moment happen.


How or when did the idea materialize to get Jim Peterik from Survivor to appear for the Lollapalooza set?
Jason: So this might actually be the craziest part of the story, funnily enough. This idea only came up back in February, a mere 5 months before the show. I was speaking with a publisher just throwing ideas at the wall for some cool samples that my clients might be able to use, and “Eye Of The Tiger” came up – we had dozens of ideas, but that one stuck with me immediately. I have a couple clients who love sampling, but my mind jumped right away to SIDEPIECE since they’ve already done some of their own bootlegs/edits of some unconventional tracks like this. Gave the stems to Party Favor who started the track, he finished it with Nitti about a week later, and a week after that it was already getting played on their Kiss And Tell tour! The minute I heard the final product and saw the insane reactions at the shows, I knew I had to make something big happen with it and my mind started racing. I thought of every big show we had coming up this year, and then I remembered…Survivor is a Chicago-native band, and we were booked for Lolla. I got to work on it right then and there. To think that we went from a pure idea during a phone call to THAT live performance in 5 months is mind-boggling, and I actually didn’t quite realize that until I typed this answer out.
What, if any, were some of the challenges faced when making the moment happen?
J: Something I think a lot of people don’t fully realize is just how much work it takes to put on an epic live show, even for DJs. The tour managers, the media people, the visuals/production crew, the SFX, the DJ gear, so many pieces have to perfectly align before the DJ even steps on stage to give fans the experience they’re hoping for. The moment you start introducing live elements or planned moments, it gets 10 times more complicated.

Jim is the original guitarist from Survivor and original writer of Eye Of The Tiger, so step 1 was getting in touch with him and seeing if he even liked the song! Once we played it for him he loved it though (shoutout to rock legends with open minds haha) and started talking about live performance ideas, and everyone agreed right away that Lolla was the place to do it. After that, we started sourcing local guitar amps for Jim, Nitti is also a mega-talented musician and decided to play drums live with Jim for even further effect so booking his drum set, the three guys worked together for a few weeks on the exact live version of the song they would play so they could rehearse and prepare timings and the on-stage moments, we worked with our production team to create and program the visuals to accompany the song (naturally we had to use a Rocky montage, layered with some of our other custom content), I’d say there were about 30 hours of phone calls and hundreds of emails to create this one moment. We spent a full 2 hours at Lolla soundchecking the drums, guitar, our visuals, practicing the moment, everything to make sure it was flawless. Truly an insane amount of coordinating, planning, preparing, and rehearsing to create a 3 minute experience for our fans, but one that they’ll hopefully remember for a long time to come.
Absolutely could not have done this without the combined efforts of our entire extended team, so deeply heartfelt gratitude for Ryan, Corynne, Paul, Kleos, Mike, Nate, Ivan, Tyler, Jim, Joe, and most of all, to Dylan and Ricky for trusting me and the team with their careers and believing in us to make it happen for them. I remember being at Miami Music Week, not even a month after the song was made, and asking the team to let me run with my ideas – I can’t thank them enough for trusting me, and I’m so glad I was able to deliver for them.
Now the next challenge is lining up the official release, more news soon
Why Survivor? Why ‘Eye of the Tiger’?
J: One of the mottos we have on team SIDEPIECE is that everything we do needs to be a moment. Whether that’s a big song that hits just the right way, or a crazy show, or even a simple press appearance, we strive to make everything the guys do something worth talking about. When I originally came upon this specific idea, I knew pretty much right away that it fit perfectly into the SIDEPIECE ethos. It was unexpected, it was legendary, it joined disparate worlds, it was something no one had ever done before, and I had to make it happen. “Eye Of The Tiger” is a song that pretty much everyone from every generation knows and has SOME kind of connection to, a song that even someone hearing it for the first time would resonate with, and I knew how impactful it would be in a live setting. Hell, even standing there on stage, knowing what was about to happen, I still had the most nervous energy and excitement I’ve ever had in my life, and when Jim walked out and hit that first guitar chord I felt it coming back to us from the crowd immediately. Pretty sure I was just as hyped as anyone in the crowd, if not even more so, despite knowing it was coming.
Would you rank this as one of your proudest or biggest moments as an artist manager?
J: Hands down, far and above the greatest moment of my career to date. I’d be lying if I said didn’t get incredibly emotional on stage watching the fruits of our labor unfold before my eyes. I got to work with one of my rock idols since I was a kid, I got to help my clients achieve an unforgettable and career-defining show, I got to create a special moment for our fans, and I got to help put together a complete banger of a song. That’s what this job is all about for me, and that show was everything I love about music coalesced into the memory of a lifetime.
We saw the photos from the set and it looked like SIDEPIECE had the stage pretty much as packed as it could be. When you looked out, and saw what you, your team, and your artists had achieved, what was going through your mind?
J: To be totally honest, the only thing going through my mind was “holy shit holy shit holy shit.” Utter disbelief that we’d managed to pull off such a huge undertaking, sheer elation that it was happening just how I’d envisioned it, I simply couldn’t process that my crazy ideas were coming to life in front of me. Things rarely go the way they’re planned, especially in this business, but to see it come together like that, just…wow. The music industry puts us all through the ringer, but moments like that are why I do it, and experiencing them is my reminder to keep on pushing forward.

I’ve heard you personally have a unique connection to Lollapalooza. Can you tell us a bit more about that?
J: The first festival I ever went to outside of my hometown (LA) was Lollapalooza 2009 – I traveled there as a fresh-faced 16-year-old with my best friend, and was able to see legends like Simian Mobile Disco, MSTRKRFT, Bloody Beetroots, Crookers, I even saw The Glitch Mob play a 3pm set on a folding table to a crowd of MAYBE 500 people. Truly the early days of the dance music boom, when it all still felt underground and chaotic and new – I was already a big dance fan, but that single event cemented my love of festivals, dance music culture, and everything that went with it. I went back in 2010 and 2011, and all 3 years are still to this day some of my favorite music festival memories. Lolla is still my favorite festival on the planet even now. I then graduated high school and went to college, but I already knew by that point that I wanted to work in music in some capacity and be involved in the magic I’d begun to witness at events like Lolla. I didn’t have the opportunity to attend Lolla during college, but once I started my career, and saw how this side of the business works, I made up my mind that I wouldn’t attend again until I had an artist performing on the lineup.
This year marked 11 years since I’d last attended, and it was more fulfilling than I ever could have imagined to see the goal I’d set for myself come to pass, and in SUCH a wild way. I’m so blessed to get to work with such talented people, and helping make their dreams come true is my dream come true.
I’m not sure if this moment was a specific goal you’d set out for the project, but looking back I’m sure it’s going to be a proud moment overall. What would you hope to accomplish next with SIDEPIECE?
J: I certainly never helped launch SIDEPIECE with the thought that we’d someday be working with Survivor, that’s for sure haha. What a whirlwind (not even) 3 years it’s been!
I think it’s going to be pretty hard to top what we just pulled off, but that’s the fun and the challenge in management – now it’s time to come up with even crazier ideas and make those happen, too. One of my biggest personal goals with the project is to find creative and unique ways to bridge the gap between the underground/tech house/house scene and the more mainstream music sphere, something I feel the guys already excel at with their songwriting and production, in an authentic and impactful way that all kinds of fans can resonate with in some way.
We’re always looking for ways to think outside the box, accomplish things no one ever expected from us, and make every song and show bigger and better than the last. I’m already working on that next big moment for next year, it’s still under wraps so you’ll just have to wait and see, but Lollapalooza 2022 has given me the confidence that we can accomplish anything we set our minds to and I can’t wait for everyone to see what else is in store! Everybody needs a SIDEPIECE after all…

Gilligan Moss Unveils “The Destroyer” via ODESZA’s Family Foreign Collective Imprint

The Gilligan Moss project is a testament to the achievements possible over a  lifelong friendship and creative partnership, with bandmates Ben and Evan having met at Park West preschool in Chicago at age three.  Seeing their musical brainchild come to fruition since making music together in 2015, the duo has written their own originals and remixed the works of others.  The duo has toured with the likes of Glass Animals, Tourist, Toro Y Moi, and Chromeo, and have seen themselves booked on lineups of many major festivals around the country. 
Lighthearted in its essence, the music they produce is joyful and built over a shared love of dance music, drawing a wide range of influences old and new.  Their latest single, “The Destroyer,” is no different, emanating feelings of bliss and wonder from start to finish that earned the stamp of approval from ODESZA’s Family Foreign Collective imprint. Their talent in the studio continues to shine, as the duo weave soulful samples overtop a thumping 90’s esque J Dilla beat. 
Incorporating expertly harmonized vocals, the duo shares, “The Destroyer is about shedding old habits & facing change with a sense of joy. It’s about being at the precipice of change and opening the door to new possibilities – whether that’s in a relationship or in your creative process. Change can feel like a big specter, or a big play-doh cat depending on how you look at things.”

Watch ALL The Fireworks Go Off At Once On Tomorrowland’s Main Stage [VIDEO]

When you have a festival going for three straight weekends, like Tomorrowland just did, you’re bound to have some truly spectacular moments happen quite spontaneously. One such moment happened during 3 Are Legend (Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike, & Steve Aoki) on the main stage on Weekend 3 as the trio dropped “Mammoth,” one of DVLM’s biggest hits.
In the video of their set, just uploaded on Monday, at 44:24, you can see what looks like every single firework being set off all at once in a remarkably explosive fashion. The rest of the video, you can see some fireworks continuing to go off but it seems like they’re from stages behind the main stage, and there aren’t any “finale” fireworks at the end of their set, as you might expect there to be.
A post on Reddit claims it was done “accidentally” due to a pyro mistake, but we know how people like to spread rumors on Reddit. We reached out to team at Tomorrowland to ask exactly what happened but have not yet heard back at time of publication.

MUST DIE! shares first single ‘GRAVEBLOOM’ from upcoming album

MUST DIE! plays by his own rules and it’s a game every music lover should want to experience. While the artist first made a name for himself as a prominent player in the bass world, his music and range as a producer has morphed into something that falls well outside the bounds of any one genre. Take for example his live sets, many of the songs border on 160 BPM with a whole lot of techno and other strange and wonderful sounds invading the space. We saw this trend in MUST DIE’S recordings for some time now with his most recent album, CRISIS VISION, released last year, exploring the outer realms of the electronic music world.
Coming off of two major collaborations with Eptic and Zomboy for their respective projects, the next stop in the MUST DIE! journey is his new single ‘GRAVEBLOOM.’ The track was inspired by the golden era of UK rave and classic artists such as The Prodigy, Atari Teenage Riot, and Squarepusher. It’s notable for combining an 80’s inspired synth line with crackling percussion and jagged breakbeats.
“’GRAVEBLOOM’ is something I’ve always wanted to do, thematically. I love a lot of music that breaks formulas and surprises the listener without feeling like a novelty, or relying on the “gotcha” to sell itself. I really wanted the tension to build and release naturally, so I didn’t force it,” MUST DIE! says.

Fred Again Makes Triumphant Boiler Room Debut

Fred Again.. made his most recent show one to remember—by making his Boiler Room debut.
The famed U.K. producer, who is quickly becoming a superstar in the electronic dance music space, turned up the heat and worked up a sweat in an intimate warehouse venue for Boiler Room. The London based performance was chock full of feverish button-mashing and a ton unreleased IDs.
The DJ set came at a pivotal time for Fred Again.., who is readying last-minute preparations for his forthcoming album Actual Life 3 which is expected to release in a matter of weeks.
After opening up with an unreleased collaboration with Swedish House Mafia, it was “look out below” as Fred again.. blitzed through a medley of groove-inducing tunes with an eager audience fanning a full 360° around him. The close quarters even led to a brief interruption, but he handled the situation and bounced back like a seasoned pro.
The perrformances saw many special moments including Fred debuting an unreleased Skrillex bass house track. This track has been teased by Fred before, but the reaction is on another level this time around. With the iconic “my name is is Skrillex” before the drop, this banger detonates into a mad bass house groove that has the crowd going nuts (soon after, Yellow Shirt Guy makes a big mistake).

Deathpact Brings Out A SECOND Deathpact To Close Out HARD Summer Performance

This weekend at HARD Summer brought about its usual share of surprises and stellar performances with impressive bookings and pairings. In particular, if you happened to catch Deathpact’s set on Sunday night, and stayed until the end, you saw something really interesting: a second Deathpact.
Deathpact first popped up on the radar in 2018 and they’ve been fueling rumors and questions ever since, wondering who’s under the mask. Hopping in during the midtempo craze that year, they quickly established a place for themselves along with other artists like 1788-L, Rezz, Kloud, Quackson, and more.
Now, four years down the line, four EPs and more singles, and we seem to have the next evolution in the project — a duo. We reached out to management who only had a “no comment” on the matter, but it’s hard to think of what else a second Deathpact on stage could mean. Taking the context into account, there was no final song, either, when the double arrived, as if it was a special guest or collaboration in the works. It seemed very much like an introduction.
Check out the video from Brownies & Lemonade below for a closer look at the live moment.

O Cinnedi Releases Next Extension In The Seven Deadly Sins Series ‘Gluttony’

Followed by at the tender age of 16, she was educated by some of the leading artists in the world where she worked under NDA projects for Grammy Award Winning artists and working also with Eurovision. Sharing the stage with the likes of Abelation, Stylust, Tynan, Jphelpz at renowned events such as Shambhala and Walt Disney Production her prowess has continued to grow. Mentored by legendary producer Archie Pena (Whitney Houston, Shakira and Michael Jackson) O Cinnedi has continued to grow and manifest amazing opportunities.

alice.km Takes Us to New Worlds and on a Transformational Journey on Latest EP, ‘Prisms’

Early riser alice.km is up everyday ready to create music everyday. Her latest EP Prisms defines a new start to her career as an artist and the host label, Lots of Practice starts a statement of a new beginning with the first melodic house and techno houses release. Prisms shares a inner glimpse into alice.km’s world painting scenery of cinematic landscapes and intricate electronic sound design.
This five track EP starts with the soothing yet grooving Cazimi, with tight basslines and well crafted melodic harmonies. After this we have the lead single, ‘Crystaline’ which captures the essence of such an angular and geological structure through the implementation of electric guitar. I’m obsessed with the definitive groove and bassline of this track which powers its energy and gives all other elements driving energy and forever flowing magic.
This EP is special is so many ways in its dedication and attention to detail from start to finish, I highly recommend alice.km’s EP Prisms for anyone taking a roadtrip or taking a moment to reflect as instantly you are taken on journey which only ventures within.

New Artist Spotlight: Brynilde Conjures Ancient Energy With her Debut Album ‘The Sound of the Winter Sun’

It’s surprising that Brynilde is based in the US, given her artist name, which is a permutation of the Old Scandinavian “Brunhilda” as well as the timbre of her exquisite soprano, which is spot on for ancient Nordic folk songs, a’la YouTube star Jonna Jinton. Brynilde’s debut album, The Sound of the Winter Sun, which came out last month, also has track names like “Priestess or Shieldmaiden.” Actually a French expat, one might think that Brynilde is based in Sweden or Norway. It turns out she’s just a lover of all things ancient and has made it her mission on this album to fuse that soul and sentiment with the modern world.
With a passion for the world of antiquity, Brynilde has studied the ancient cultures and traditions not only of the Nords but the Greeks, and Greek philosophy, Buddhism and French Renaissance philosophers like Descartes. All these messages sort of converge in the message of the album, which is about the contrast of life and finding beauty in that contrast. Brynilde sums it up best herself:
It almost sounds like a bonus for Brynilde that the album came out of all this soul-searching, but that’s what makes it so authentic. Musically just as much of a mélange as the subjects and studies that created it, The Sound of the Winter Sun mixes ambient sound design and orchestral backing arrangements with Brynilde’s picth-perfect soprano and masterful piano playing to create just the windswept, sunny-day-in-winter feeling the album’s title conjures.
The Sound of the Winter Sun gets its indie edge partially from the percussion, performed by Leo Margarit of Pain of Salvation fame, who also produced the album, which is syncopated, varied and goes through loads of tempo changes. In album opening track “The Descent,” an analog jazz snare hearalds so many tempo changes, in fact, that along with the composition it pushes the whole sound into a much more edgy territory, and Brynhilde’s vox from Sarah Brightman to Kate Bush. Similarly, the following track “Priestess or Shieldmaiden” has big, heavy and folksy-sounding drums which follow the somewhat unstructured verses of the vocals. Still heavily composed and cinematic, the primalness of the drums connects the ancient to the modern.
In other tracks like “Ungracefulness,” guitars are what send the music in a more indie or rock direction; heavy, grungy and slightly goth with the orchestral arrangements, listeners should be able to catch a bit of Evanesence or even a bit of Brightman’s Phantom contained therein. Yet others are lighter and really leave Brynilde to her own devices with her piano, such as another song that references antiquity, “Hecate.” It’s honestly more than enough with Brynilde’s voice alone. It beggars belief that earlier in her career she felt she had vocal pitching problems.
The track that best sums up Brynilde’s sound, message and purpose on The Sound of the Winter Sun is probably “Echos de Tonnerre” (fr. “echoes of thunder”). Singing in her native French, there’s even more depth and honesty here to Brynilde’s voice and even if the listener doesn’t understand the lyrics, the emotion there really calls back to her original purpose for making this album. Paired with closer “I See Beauty,” It’s clear that this album was a journey of emotions, struggles and contrasts, but at the end comes such a beautiful reward.
With a style that’s already so developed, it still seems that after The Sound of the Winter Sun Brynilde can still go in any direction she wants. She could do a full-on EDM album and be absolutely lauded, or she could stay in her current niche of indie ambient. With talent and skill as well as a high-vibration message, the healing Brynhilde gives herself and the world through her music cannot be understated.
The Sound of the Winter Sun is out now can can be streamed on Spotify. Check out Brynilde’s YouTube channel for more visualizers and lyric videos.

New Artist Spotlight: Devin James Fry’s Foray Into Electronica is Producing Some Interesting Results With Recent Singles

Austin blues rock band Name Sayers is one of those not-so-well-kept secrets that indie fans discover and fall in love with at the ancillary gigs around Austin City Limits or SXSW. As smoky and bluesy as a Lord Huron or a Hozier but with a decidedly grungy bent to keep them from being lumped in with the the sometimes-too-contrived indie folk genre, Name Sayers area local gem in a city full of local gems. That said, we here at EDM are willing to bet no one saw Name Sayer frontman Devin James Fry branching out into electronica as a solo act coming. Well here’s another shock, indie rock fans: he’s been doing it for nine years.
Let’s qualify this a bit: Fry just started making his own beats in his most recent tracks, “Purple Glue” and “No Hope.” His first solo album Headwater Songs in 2013, in fact, was even more blues-and-folk-informed than his band. In fact, this album released before Name Sayers’ first EP Four Dreams. Radicans, Fry’s first digital-leaning solo album actually came out in 2020. A mix of acoustic, Gipsy Kings-style guitars, bluesy vox and drums and post-punk songwriting a’la Nick Cave, the only electronic production comes from simple ambient sound design but it’s nonetheless there.
So all that said, “Purple Glue” and “No Hope” are a departure for Fry to say the least. Released as a duo, it seems with these two tracks Fry wanted to bring that post punk flavor from Radicans to his first actual electronic tracks. “Purple Glue” is decidedly the most post punk of the two, with Fry’s rich, bluesy Tom Waits-esque voice smoothing out the edges of the gravely trip hop beat and synths. There’s an industrial quality there was well, again from those raw synths and the echoey sound design as well as the sort of desolation in the vox and twisting of notes. It’s what one would think Ian Curtis might have done if he’d survived, had access to modern equipment and suddenly lost his tone deafness. Post punk becomes post rock becomes post…industrial? Interesting idea and it definitely makes “Purple Glue” a cutting edge track.
“No Hope” featuring Otem Rellik and Nat Tate is even more integrative of post punk and industrial ambients with what’s essentially a trap beat. Fry and Tate’s looped vocal chorus grounds the track, or rather, swirls it into an inky sonic abyss. Rellik comes over the whole heavy Bauhaus-gone-digital mess with verse that’s part rap and part spoken word a’la John Cooper Clarke to really drive home the verbal point in no uncertain terms. The effect of this collaboration is almost a more bluesy, industrial and dystopian version of mid-era Gorillaz. Is this post punk hip hop? We certainly hope so.
With “No Hope” and “Purple Glue,” Devin James Fry seems to not only be expanding into electronic and scratching some sort of digital itch that none of us knew was even there, but he might even be creating new genres along the way. This is why it’s important to always keep one’s eye on Austin if one wants to stay in the know with music. Even the artists like Fry and his Name Sayers who seem like they’re all vintage indie folk can suddenly come out with some crazy trap-laced hip hop. “Keep Austin weird,” indeed, and with his solo tracks looking just as popular on Spotify as the Name Sayers ones, we can likely expect even more post punk, indie pop, weird-ass electronica.
“No Hope” and “Purple Glue” are out now and can be streamed on Spotify, purchased digitally on Bandcamp or on vinyl at Old Faithful Records.
