This Weeks Featured Artist album: Depth Affect - Hero Crisis

Style: Electronica/Hip-Hop/Dance

For Fans Of: Prefuse 73, The Chemical Brothers, Apparat

Perfect For: Corporate-branded projects looking for edgy hip-hop/electronic music, films and TV shows that are seeking a different kind of sound for a hero’s journey

Formed in September 2004 in the town of Lorient, the Paris-based Depth Affect are a quartet comprising of two musicians, one DJ and one VJ. The group has adopted a unique musical approach by choosing to focus on largely instrumental hip-hop-infused electronica, placing the concentration on refining their sound and finding the right slant for their music to become totally universal.

Depth Affect’s latest release “Hero Crisis” is an impressive slab of acerbic cut’n’paste electronica sprinkled with an extra helping of chunky hip-hop bits. Their music is a blend of emotive chords, playful rapping, sharp beats, and catchy rhythms. The album has a music box quality, with its heavily processed samples lending an air of carefree magic. You are taken into a warm, glitchy odyssey through the eyes of some progressives who ditch urban politics in favor of gleaming hooks and cerebral, euphoric keyboards. Depth Affect builds a very personal sonic universe in which glitches and breaks cohabitate in perfect harmony. Whatever the quartet throws themselves into, they manage to make total sense of it.

Depth Affect’s inventive and eccentric numbers are well-suited for corporate-branded projects screaming for edgy hip-hop and electronic music. Their aptly-titled album “Hero Crisis” has the perfect amount of danger and mystique to be used as for films and TV shows that involve an atypical, yet epic hero’s journey.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Lola Dutronic - In Berlin

Style: French Pop / Electronica / Disco House

For Fans Of: Goldfrapp, Saint Etienne, Françoise Hardy

Perfect For: Films or tv shows that need seductive club music, scenes that involve a relaxing lounge under the sun, advertisements for high-end retail products

Lola Dutronic is a French Pop/Electronica duo, consisting of remixer/producer Richard Citroen and Berlin-based vocalist Lola Dee, who sings in both French and English. Their latest album “Lola Dutronic In Berlin” was recorded over a three week period in an abandoned Berlin apartment and mixed in Toronto. It also features Mike Garson (of David Bowie fame) on piano.

“Lola Dutronic In Berlin” is an album of soft melodies and nostalgic moments that are neither old or new, but nonetheless a pleasure to listen to. The twosome combines immense beats and offbeat orchestration to create an infectious exotica that could well be the soundtrack to an impromptu journey that is out of this world. Lola Dee has a dreamy, super-husky quality to her voice that is both sweet and seductive, which goes hand-in-hand with Richard Citroen’s fun-loving and somewhat childish and 80s electronics. Their songs have been featured in many films and television shows, including “The L-Word,” “Godivas,” “Blood Ties,” and “Perfect Strangers.”

Lola Dutronic’s mix of sultry, danceable grooves and shimmering synth-pop numbers would go well with films or tv shows that need seductive club music, scenes that involve a relaxing lounge under the sun, or advertisements for high-end retail products that need an upbeat dash of sexy, cool music.

This Weeks Featured Artist album: Lullatone - Songs That Spin In Circles

Style: Electronica, Twee Pop, Children’s Music

For Fans Of: Colleen, I Am Robot and Proud, Piana

Perfect For: Commercials for toys, baby products, and electronic products; scenes that involve characters resting/dreaming peacefully; creating calm, soothing, serene atmospheres

Lullatone was formed in the night, when a restless Shawn James Seymour began composing soft, gentle pop tunes that wouldn’t disrupt the slumber of his girlfriend, Yoshimi Tomida. Their music, which the group likes to refer to as “pajama-pop,” is characterized by innocent, child-like quality and spare, lo-fi sounds.

Originally composed for their newborn son, the duo’s latest release, “Songs That Spin in Circles,” is a lovely and alluring collection of lullabies. These set of tracks were deliberately composed to loop seamlessly using the repeat function on your music player. Their sound is a saccharine delight of cute, minimalist melodies and sumptuous analogue tenderness. The group makes brilliant use of soporific instrumentation, employing glittery glockenspiels, warm sine tones, and fluffy percussion, with tape hiss as ambient white noise. “Songs That Spin in Circles” serves as the perfect bedtime background for babies and adults alike, kindly whisking you away to a magical dreamland.
