Following the success off their debut, single, “SHIMMER”, leftfield, New York-based post-disco / indie-dance producers/remixers AUTOMAGIC – WILLIAM LYNN (aka DJ Will of notorious NYC gay artzine and monthly dance party Spank) and BRYAN WRIGHT – return with their sophomore release for KID Recordings, IRIS (THE REMIXES PART ONE).
The buoyant future classic about love at first sight, missed opportunities and heartbreak weaves emotionally-charged, dubbed-out vocals punctuated with driving percussions, percolating bass, sparkling melodic keys and soaring synth washes creating a radiant slice of euphoric melancholia that takes cues from New Order’s dance-driven, subtle pop introspection,
Through their music (on influential labels such as Buzzin’ Fly, Peace Bisquit/Curve, A Touch Of Class and Definity), inspired DJ sets and exploits, AUTOMAGIC has carried the torch for NYC clubbing while building a loyal international fan base and critical acclaim. Heavily influenced by the post “disco-not-disco” soundtrack that catapulted acts like HUMAN LEAGUE, TALKING HEADS, HEAVEN 17, CABARET VOLTAIRE and SECTION 25 into popular consciousness at seminal Downtown haunts like Danceteria, The Loft and Mudd Club, the duo has crafted a signature sound capturing the nostalgia of the classic early 80s while infusing it with a crisp modern edge.
Already buzzing with widespread support from HORSE MEAT DISCO, BEN WATT, JOHNNY DYNELL, AOL MUSIC, TIMEOUT NEW YORK, TOMMIE SUNSHINE, PENGUIN PRISON and more, IRIS (THE REMIXES PART ONE) features potent reworks from heavyweights like DFA’s own JUAN MACLEAN and RICHARD MOREL alongside emerging underground stars ALLIES FOR EVERYONE, DJ BANDER and BEST MATE. Look out for IRIS (THE REMIXES PART TWO) to follow in May.
