2012 starts with some old live bangers and tricks developed for past Philadelphia Laptop Battles.
An interruption of Windows error warnings and alerts tease audiences with the spectacle of a live set riddled with laptop failure only to twist back into song structures.
"Keep Calm" keeps the beats and volumes up while inciting all to get down via a myriad of samples from the likes of Fatman Scoop, EBN, The Killing, Fergie and The KLF.
"Her Heart" is an inspired remix of Double's 1986 international success, "The Captain Of Her Heart."
At Work takes a break and gives it to you. Vast stretches of lush synth strings, pulsing 303, commercial debris, evolving melodic synths and deconstructed breakbeats build up to a barrage of samples from Dynamix II's 1987 Miami bass classic, "Give The DJ A Break." Free download.
Even Wilder, released August 26, 2011 worldwide on Batona via iTunes, Amazon and FLAC via PayPal/Payloadz is Cloud People's follow up to A Wild Feeling. It underscores the scorching heat of the Pinelands summer through wilderness infused stretches of rackety freakout beats and bending, buzzing baselines.
Crunching dancehall bass, lush forest analog electronics and field recordings of bluejay meet nature poetry via vocoder for a blinding glimpse at the sunny side of the sound of Cloud People's evergreen domain.
