JAMIE XX (London)

"one of electronic music's most respected figures…on In Colour thoughts come to life as the sounds of a thousand London dancefloors." -- the FADER

LOWER DENS (Baltimore)

"The (songs) on the band's new album, Escape From Evil, are lush but distant, beautiful things held just out of reach...feels like a long-lost synthpop classic of the '80s, complete with robotic bass and an undeniable dance floor undertow" -- NPR

TEI SHI (Brooklyn)
