Benoit & Sergio | Buy: Bridge So Far EP
Put Benoit Simon and Benjamin “Sergio” Myers together and you get the dance music producer duo known simply as Benoit & Sergio. Having been raised on the likes of musical greats The Talking Heads and New Order, Benoit and Sergio have uniquely and effectively melded subtle foot tapping techno-house rhythms with downtrodden – but oddly content – narratives sung listlessly by Myers. Their off-put blend of musical style gives them a distinguishable face in the growing crowd of musicians coming out of Europe.

A recent discovery, SOHN’s music instantly caught our attention with the ethereal, spacey, and haunting vibes. Whatever movement this type of music can be pinned to, we are definitely fans. With influences from both the UK and Austrian music scene (think HVOB), SOHN is absolutely essential for your ‘chill-out’ playlist.
SOHN just signed with 4AD. We can’t wait to see what this legendary label will do for him and his upcoming debut album.
Here’s SOHN’s take on one of my favourite songs. He does it justice.

Here’s SOHN’s take on one of my favourite songs. He does it justice.
Her Voice Over Boys (HVOB) is Anna Müller and Paul Wallner from Austria. They started a deep house project in 2012 and are already making their presence known in the European scene with appearances at UAF and Melt!. For 2013, they’re slated for Lighthouse and a return to UAF among many other shows.
When we heard their debut album (which you can buy here), we immediately fell in love with the amazingly gentle vibes. Their music is unavoidable if your demeanor is demanding time to chill out. The resonant bass, hypnotic melodies, and lullaby-like vocals will surely set the mood for meditation.
Throw on some headphones, close your eyes, and drift off into grey matter. No worries, you visual types have not been left out. HVOB has taken up arms with the VDJ team at Lichterloh to present you with sublime images to go along with their beautiful music.

The saying ‘more is better’ is a definitive truth when the heads behind C2C are accounted for. Formerly known as Coups2Cross, these four Frenchies from Nantes are no strangers to a turntable. In fact, they have 4 DMC World DJ Championships combined! As C2C they bring a unique style to the scene that is best described as down-home jazz, bluegrass, and hip-hop gospel electro – doubly interesting considering their geographical origins. Their breakout hit Down the Road characterizes all of this.
If finding new and interesting music is your bag or if you just enjoy some good ol’ jive, come hang out with us on Friday.
Buy Tetra!

The lesson is simple: take chances, Lightning Bolt, and you’ll find what matters most amidst all the hardships, Simple As This. A considerably apt outlook on life for someone so young.
Simultaneously encouraging and relatable, Jake Bugg’s music should provide you with a nice respite of classic rock for the start of your hectic weekend. We think you’ll agree with our sentiments when you see him on Friday.
