Demos Swapped at the Demo Swap
So I did a more thorough recap of our Demo Swap at Sonotheque in Chicago last week over at Create Digital Music, but here’s a brief overview of a few of the more notable demo disks that came home with me.
I also posted the first part of my DJ set at the end of the night. Unfortunately the laptop crashed when I unplugged the soundcard and I lost my playlist, so there are going to be quite a few gaps in the set list. Oh well.
- DJ Psyops: Ventriloquism: Dance rock & trendy techno. Featuring tracks like Bloc Party’s “Banquet” and LCD Soundsystem’s “Tribulationsâ€
- Press, aka Robin Smith: chill, ambient electro
- Memory Selector ft. Michael Una & Cameron Moore: dreamy instrumental indie rock with nice melodies and analog electronics
- Heaven Seventies– catchy pop / rock with electronic elements. Their demo also had mp3s and a video clip on the CD which was a nice touch. And, as we had expected collaborations to come out of the event, I remixed one of the tracks off of said demo.
- Bill Van Loo & J. Schnable: A series of discs featuring dub / downtempo IDM http://chromedecay.org/,
- Droopy: Fingerblast. rave-style DnB
It’s by no means comprehensive list; I still have a few more to get through. Enjoy a bit of underground electronic music from Chicago.
