So I check my inbox yeah, and found out that the system actually works... the word is getting around about the blog, and people are beginning to send me stuff. Mixes, remixes, tracks, photo's...the lot. It's good to know that new DJ's and artists take the initiative to get their stuff out there and take a chance. And I have to say, there is a LOT of good stuff coming out of the UK at the moment. Electronic music is crazy-hot right now, the big guns consistently deliver - but more importantly there is a scene of up-and-coming producers that are pretty much on the button, running their own nights and spreading the cheer of good tunes and party vibes throughout the land. I likes. Which brings me nicely to another southern head pressing said buttons...
Teen Symmetry (pictured) is a young, hip producer with all the right credentials... Hoodie? Check. Cap? Check. Haircut? Check. Trendy artwork? Check. Remixes under his belt? Check. Talent? Definitely.
He dropped me a line through Facebook no less with links to mixes and tunes, not for me... but for YOU! How very kind. After listening through the tunes on his
Myspace, which I recommend, I can see similarities between what TS does with the likes of Drop The Lime, amongst others. And that ain't no bad thing. He makes the kind of music that's a little too fast to be house, a little too much fun to be techno, and not cheesy enough to be electro...yet takes elements from all three... the kind of music that makes the party go off. Ya get me? Plenty of loud and screechy sirens, stabs and synths. Here's an intro from the boy himself...
"Teen Symmetry is the musical incarnation of producer Erin Davies. After playing in bands since the age of 18, the now 21 year old has turned his hands to his laptop, midi mixers and keyboards. His sound blends dirty disco punk with dancey electro. Teen Symmetry has only been around since Febuary of this year and under this guise has already produced remixes of MSTRKRFT, Kylie Minogue, A1 bassline and Frank Musik.Due to all this he has already played shows around his hometown Bournemouth and travelled around the UK playing shows with the likes of Hadouken! DJ's, Le Petit Pilous (Boys Noize), Foals, Alex Metric, Example, Crack your skull (Ibar), Ste-V-Something (We are your Friends)."Not bad ey? Now for the proof...
