ASDEK

ASDEK is a duo from Montpellier who’ve recently added more of a funk touch to their skill in punky electro. These two, borne of the French underground, are blending up something fantastic in today’s saturated sound. They’re prime examples of this whole post-genre movement. Listen to all their songs and you’ll get what I mean.

Music

Lane 8 | Soundcloud

Almost exactly a year ago we asked Lane 8 to open for our first show featuring SHOOK in LA for the modest cost of transportation from SF. Since then Daniel has been consistently improving his production abilities and garnering attention from Anjunabeats to world renowned house label French Express. Let that be a testament to hard work and persistence! With no sign of slowing down, Daniel recently released one of my favorite songs of his to date, “How I Feel.” Using the borderline overused sample of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” in a freshly unique way, he crafts a beat that drives the legendary vocals. Keep your eyes peeled on this dude.

The Golden Pony

Tequila soup connoisseurs The Golden Pony are a Brooklyn disco duo through and through. They approach pop-hits with the addition of heavy acid beats and trippy synths to create something that is quite obscurely special. Download their stuff for free. Stay golden.
