-CHROME SPARKS (DJ SET) [FUTURE CLASSIC]-
http://soundcloud.com/chrome-sparks/
Inspired by a background in classical percussion and an obsession with synthesizers, Jeremy Malvin creates music under the name Chrome Sparks. Jeremy grew up in Pittsburgh, then went to music school at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Two years later, he left school and went on extensive tours as the drummer for Stepdad, Miniature Tigers, and Rich Aucoin. Jeremy currently resides in Brooklyn, where he spends his time working on music in his bedroom, often leaving it to play DJ sets. Although Jeremy works on the recordings alone and has not done many live performances, the Chrome Sparks live realization has had many different incarnations, ranging from a one man show to an eight piece band. Currently, Jeremy does live performances with two dear friends.

-INFINITY SHRED-

Sanctuary, the full-length debut by Manhattan’s Infinity Shred, finds a path that belongs to neither the past nor the future, a swirling instrumental ether-region all its own. It’s been a long road to Infinity, and the trio’s first long-player finds them on a quest to define a more mature form for the music that Damon Hardjowirogo and George Stroud have been playing together since they were teenagers. They’ve come a long way since those early days of hacking their own hardware.
Over seven rich tracks, Infinity Shred apply their increasingly complex palette towards expansive post-rock and points beyond, exploring a vast array of synthesizers, huge textural guitars, the occasional home brewed circuitry, and playful dialogues between live and programmed percussion. While the album represents the first full-length by Infinity Shred, it is also an arrival in a six-year long creative arc. Hardjowirogo and Stroud originally played together as Starscream while high school students in 2007, part of a new generation of musicians channeling ecstatic dance-punk through celestial 8-bit explosions. With an onslaught of self-released 7-inches, EPs, and CD-Rs, the duo made a name for their incredibly loud and visually arresting live show, building a reputation on both sides of the underground/mainstream divide.
In 2011, while releasing a split 7-inch with Kickstarter upstarts Anamanaguchi, the band appeared on the series finale of MTV's Skins, performing two original songs and backing cast members on another. That same year, the band added Nathan Ritholz, who expanded the band’s range with his guitar, hip-hop production skills, and formal music education. Delving into electronic synthesis and an intensely collaborative songwriting process, the band soon changed names to match their new direction.
Weaned on At the Drive-In (a shared group favorite) and post-rock staples like Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai, it was natural for Infinity Shred to look beyond the beautiful restrictions of their earliest music. "The more I had to deal with the limitations of 8-bit hardware, the more I wanted more," Damon observes. “Recording the music at home can be more of an emotional experience, but playing live, it becomes something that’s much more fun. I don't imagine it getting put on at parties but it makes perfect sense when people party at the shows.” With reference points including skateboarding, synth shredding, the brief blip of the early '80s Italo disco movement, and Carl Sagan's PBS series Cosmos, the band's epic live performances integrate a dizzying melange of fully-synced film footage. The destination is forever, eagerly awaiting the future.
