[Two For Tuesdays]

GAMES


One half of Oneohtrix Point Never, Dan Lopatin and Tigercity's Joel Ford joined forces last year forming the little known, Games. They released their debut EP That We Can Play last November on Brooklyn Label Mexican Summer. Disco, 80's electro freak outs, Miami Vice blah blah. It's nostalgia laden using 80's production techniques to reincarnate video arcades, commercial themes and laser quest. Sound pretentious? Well I'll leave you to make up your own mind.

This year sees them change their name to Ford & Lopatin and they have founded their own imprint via Mexican Summer known as Software. Expect a long play release this June.

HOLY OTHER


Berlin based producer HOLY OTHER released this hollow, dark, eery tune last year. It is warm and enveloping yet will sometimes give you shivers. Haven't heard much from HOLY OTHER of late, lets just hope he's working on some similar material to this.
