TommyBoy – Texas Love Triangle Mix
Tommy Blackburn aka Tommy Boy, es el ideólogo de este mix con artistas locales rescatados de lo más profundo de los Estados Unidos. Un triángulo imaginario formado por Austin, Houston y Dallas, que sorprende por la cantidad insana de artistas con material interesante, (y también inédito en muchos casos), que ha sido capaz de generar y que desplaza a un nuevo lugar la actividad electrónica, hasta ahora acaparada casi en su mayoría por los tradicionales centros neurológicos que todos conocemos (Detroit, Chicago y NY).
Dejemos que el propio Blackburn nos de más pistas sobre esta incipiente escena mientras nos perdemos en este particular y estimulante universo sonoro.
“I am fortunate to live in a place where so many of my peers are creating the kind of music I love. When most kids are worrying about how the grass is greener elsewhere, these bands are working hard to make where they are where they want to be. This mix is different: it is not vintage or obscure records emanating from some small corner of the globe, but rather all current Texas synth based projects covering multiple genres. Included is everything from Industrial EBM to Techno, Leftfield Disco to Electro, Deep House to Minimal Wave and even a little Screwgaze for good measure.
I am grateful to all groups who were so kind to contribute to this compilation; special thanks to Klearlight Studios for helping master the final mix as well as producing several of the bands in it. I’d also like to thank Answering Machine Records for their submissions as well as their continued output of quality Texas synth music. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for all my creative friends across this big state.
There is something sacred in the geometry connecting Houston, Austin, and Dallas – this love triangle that we’re all a part of. This mix is a testament to what friends and neighbors are capable of and it’s a fitting time capsule for this time and place. If there’s only one thing I can say about this mix, it’d be simply, “Don’t Mess with Texas ”
