Biografía
- ‘Take a listen or five, let it wash over you, and bask in the glorious sun-drenched beauty that this delivers. You’re going to fall in love.’ – wearebinary.comIntroducing Kauf (Ronald Kaufman) LA based singer, songwriter and composer of exquisite, synth heavy, vocal backed scores. With a strong musical background of piano, self-taught guitar and singing in an international choir, Kauf has since developed a distinctive, multi-layered electronic style composed around his own echo-laden vocals. The compositions, discretely song-led, weave their way around the listener with an ethereal, dream like fluidity… After a 2011 self-release, Relocate and When You’re Out found their way to Dan Whitford’s (Cut/Copy) label Cutters Records. A 12’’ of Relocate, featuring remixes from Nile Delta, Psychemagik and Moons came out in June 2013. A few months later the 4 track original As Much Again EP was released, bringing Kauf to the attention of Spin, KCRW, Dancing Astronaut, NPR, and many others. Late 2013 – 2015 saw Kauf work on a handful of remixes including Mineapolis Art-Rockers Poliça - Chain My Name, and his own debut Album which is now complete. A substantial portion of Kauf’s works have been licensed for Film, TV & Game; most notably his original track When You’re Out and his remix of Tony Castles Heart in The Pipes which each featured different versions of Rockstar’s hugely popular Grand Theft Auto V. Recent Live shows include support slots for Com Truise (Ghostly International), Goldroom, Cut Copy & Larry Gus. He also played alongside Empire of The Sun & Moby at TBD Festival 2014 in Sacramento. With the debut album complete, Kauf is now focusing his attention on taking the project into full live band territory… ‘…As Much Again, the debut EP by L.A. producer Kauf, has been in nearly constant rotation for me…’ – Travis Holcolme, KCRW ‘…Tasked with taking on Poliça's "Chain My Name," Kauf turns the driving space-pop track into a much darker affair, stripping much of the original's vocals back while redirecting the effort towards more cavernous terrain…’ – XLR8R ‘…Letting go of the pop feel of the original, Kauf laid in thick layers of dreamlike synths and samples to create a tribalish chunk of disco that lifts listeners right off of their feet. Simple in idea yet stunning in execution, something here catches the ear and won’t let go…’ – Insomniac, No.11, Top 20 remixes 2014 (Moons – Bloody Mouth Kauf Remix) Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/kauf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Kaufaudio Twitter: https://twitter.com/Kaufaudio Website: http://www.kaufaudio.com/̸ORIGINAL RELEASES “Release Title” – Label + Cat No. – Format – Release Date “As Much Again EP” – Cutters Records CUTTERS019 – DIGITAL / Vinyl 12” – Aug 2013 01 – In Tow 02 – The Closest 03 – Relocate 04 – When You’re Out 05 – Relocate (Psychemagik Remix) 06 – Relocate (Nile Delta Remix) Soundcloud - here Press Release - here Press Coverage for “As Much Again EP” SPIN: http://www.spin.com/articles/kauf-relocate-cut-copy-cutters-video/ KCRW: http://blogs.kcrw.com/musicnews/2013/12/kcrws-top-25-most-played-songs-for-the-week-of-12092013-2/ LA GAS STA http://www.lagasta.com/kauf-relocate-video/ …More press: Click here *** “Relocate” – Cutters Records CUTTERS018 – Vinyl 12” – June 2013 01 – Relocate (Nile Delta Remix) 02 – Relocate (Psychemagik Remix) 03 – Relocate (Original Mix) 04 – Relocate (Moons Remix) Soundcloud - here Offical Video - here Press Coverage for “Relocate”: HUFFINGTON POST: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hugh-mcintyre/12-underground-acts-you-n_b_5915956.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment DANCING ASTRONAUT: http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2013/07/kauf-feat-henrietta-tiefenthaler-relocate-psychemagik-remix/ MILK MADE: http://www.milkmade.com/articles/2620-No-Apologies-Kauf-and-Psychemagik-On-Relocate- KCRW: http://blogs.kcrw.com/musicnews/2013/10/four-songs-you-should-listen-to-right-now-3/ NPR: http://www.npr.org/2013/10/08/228160668/heavy-rotation-10-songs-public-radio-cant-stop-playing …More Press: Click here *** REMIXES Original Artist – “Title” – Remix Title – Label + Cat No. – Format – Release Date 2014: Labyrinth Ear – “Lorna” – Kauf Remix – LE Records – DIGITAL – Sept 2014 Soundcloud - here Press Coverage for Labarynth Ear – “Lorna”: ID: https://soundcloud.com/i-d-online-1/premiere-labyrinth-ear-lorna-kauf-remix AOR DISCO: http://aordisco.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/lorna-kauf-remix-labyrinth-ear.html LINE OF BEST FIT: http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/new-music/album-stream/labyrinth-ear-the-orchid-room-deluxe-edition ELECTRO BOOGIE: http://electroboogieencounter.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/labyrinth-ear-lorna-kauf-remix.html …More Press: Click here *** Poliça – “Chain My Name” – Kauf Remix – Not on Label (XLR8R Mp3 Giveaway) – DIGITAL – May 2014 Soundcloud - here Press Coverage for Poliça “Chain My Name”: XLR8R: http://www.xlr8r.com/mp3/2014/09/chain-my-name-kauf-remix MUSIC & RIOTS: http://musicandriotsmagazine.com/?p=12681 WATM MAGAZINE (FR): http://watmmagazine.com/polica-chain-name-kauf-remix/ ACID STAG: http://acidstag.com/2014/09/22/non-mixtape-mixes-volume-41/ …More Press: Click here *** Moons – “Bloody Mouth” – Kauf Remix – No Recordings (XLR8R Mp3 Giveaway) – DIGITAL – Jan 2014 Soundcloud - here Press Coverage for Moons “Bloody Mouth”: XLR8R: http://www.xlr8r.com/mp3/2014/01/bloody-mouth-kauf-remix INDIE SHUFFLE: http://www.indieshuffle.com/moons-bloody-mouth-kauf-remix/ SCRAP MAG: http://thescrapmag.com/tag/moons-bloody-mouth-kauf-remix/ …More Press: Click here *** Tony Castles – “Heart in the Pipes” – Kauf Remix – Lost In Records – DIGITAL – Dec 2011 Soundcloud - here Press Coverage for Tony Castles “Hearts in the Pipes”: EARMILK: http://www.earmilk.com/2011/12/19/tony-castles-heart-in-the-pipes-kauf-remix/ STONEY ROADS: http://stoneyroads.com/2011/12/tony-castles-heart-in-the-pipes-kauf-remix …More Press: Click here *** Sync Placements Title – Track – Produced For – Release Date Kauf – “The Closest” – Looking (HBO) – 2014 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2581458/ Tony Castles “Heart in The Pipes” – Kauf Remix – Grand Theft Auto V (Rockstar Games) – 2013 http://www.rockstargames.com/V/ Kauf – “When You’re Out” – The Originals – 2013 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2632424/ Kauf – “When You’re Out” – The Collection – 2012 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1748227/soundtrack Kauf – “Relocate” – My Super Psycho Sweet 16, part 3 – 2012 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2056659/ Kauf – “Relocate” – Psychemagik Remix – The Following, Season 2 Episode One (Fox) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2071645/episodes Online Placements Title – Track – Produced For – Release Date Kauf – Original Composition / Sound Design (no name) – Nowness.com – Oct 2012 DJ Mixes Mix Title – Produced for – Uploaded Freunde Von Freunden Mixtape 64 – Kauf – Oct 2014 Mixcloud - here Buzzzmix vol. 3: Kauf – Beautiful Buzzz – April 2014 Soundcloud - here Triple J Mixup: Nina Las Vegas – Nov 2013 Soundcloud - here Yatzerythms by Kauf – Yatzer – Aug 2013 Soundcloud - here http://www.yatzer.com/yatzerhythms-by-kauf Lost in Records Mix – Nov 2011 Soundcloud - here
