Learn About the 'World News' Remixers from In The Room
Time flies when you're having fun.
It's now been a whole week since we released 💐 In The Room 💐 [SS124], a World News single so hot... okay, you get the picture.
The single arrives alongside a bunch of remixes that go hard, exploring the sonic space of World News.
But who are Eschaton Crises, MOONBEAN, Personal Data, A.G. Murtagh and Josh Korody? People, for sure. Unique people in this people-centric existence.
Some of them are more peopley than others.
Eschaton Crises
Eschaton Crises (London, UK) is the final event in the divine plan, a socio-historical circumstance.
Emanating from somewhere ye olde London (UK) this musical anomaly, when perceived, is often a harbinger of breakbeats, acid-rave, and the damned rowdy.
Known in the underground as an organizer of DJ-focused community events, Eschaton Crises brings the party to the end of the world and back.
MOONBEAN
MOONBEAN (Toronto, CA) is a queer, Ontario-based electronic duo who lace their live, synth hardware sets with lush vocals.
Their experimental synth-pop weaves in psychedelia, acid-house, techno, and disco, while their performance style gives off punk energy.
Their musical inspirations align with Little Dragon, Peaches, Metric and Eurythmics. In the past 2 years, they released their debut EP and played festivals around Ontario, Germany, and toured Europe twice.
Listen to MOONBEAN.
Personal Data
Personal Data (Hamilton, CA) is a dude who makes beats and twists knobs to weave an ever-evolving musical landscape.
You may know him better as a founding father of WORLD NEWS.
Personal Data is a deep listener of electronic music who combines his love with an often improvised approach, using an arsenal of synths, drum machines, modular and whatever else he can get his hands on.
A.G. Murtagh
Asher Gould-Murtagh (Montreal, CA) is a musician, producer and mix engineer who has worked with artists such as Born Ruffians, Mother Tongues and Kali Horse.
Asher G.M. has seen his work released on labels such as Sub Pop, Yep Roc, Telephone Explosion, Safe Sounds, and many more.
Asher is currently based out of Studio Toute Garnie in Montreal’s Mile End, a fully-equipped recording and mixing space operated by members of the Montreal trio BRAIDS, and built by producer / engineer Damian Taylor (Björk, The Prodigy, Lido Pimienta).
Josh Korody
Josh Korody is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and mixing engineer who has worked on a plethora of award-winning records with award-winning artists.
Korody can be found running the electronic label, Nodding Heads.
A man of many talents, Korody also fronts Breeze, which is a 90s inspired group that has released multi-albums via HDD and performed sessions with the likes of KEXP and ourselves.
He also produced and mastered the single for In The Room.
Oh jeez, is that really the time?
