Georgia Goes To SXSW

As festivals go, the SXSW Festival in Austin, TX is one of the biggest, most diverse and longest running music festival around. What started back in 1987 at the Driskill Hotel featuring a handful of up and coming and regional bands the festival has grown into an enormous gathering of passionate creators and consumers working in film, technology, gaming, comedy and of course, music. To be asked to showcase is high praise in itself but that’s where the work really starts. With thousands of bands in town performing at hundreds of venues over the course of 5 days it can be hard to get noticed and even harder to leave a mark. The state of Georgia and especially Atlanta’s rich hip-hop scene and Athens’ indie rock scene have made waves over the year with bands like Black Lips, Run the Jewels, Deerhunter, playing a ton of shows and packing out clubs time and time again.

 

Next week from March 12th until Sunday March 17th Georgia is sending it’s best once again to represent the best in new music.

AdELA

AdELA is triple-threat. She’s a singer, songwriter, and rapper reaping the benefits of

pursuing her dreams of stardom. The tenacious South African-born, Atlanta-based beauty got her resolve for pursuing the life she wanted from her parents, who left lucrative careers in South Africa in order to escape apartheid in the ‘90s. AdELA’s family first settled in Miami exposing her to all styles of music from Miami Bass, Nas, Tupac, Royce Da 5’9 to Frank Sinatra – artists she describes as “timeless and an inspiration for her own creativity.” AdELA earned her first RIAA Certified Gold credit as a co-writer and performer on Meek Mill’s “Made it From Nothing.” In 2015, AdELA made her official debut with Off the Burner, followed by her EP Dreamers and Thinkers in 2017, where she decided to feature a well-known rapper on every track. AdELA landed collaborations with Royce Da 5’9, Skyzoo, Torae, Fat Joe, and Kool G Rap just to name a few. Dreamers and Thinkers peaked at number 21 on the iTunes Top 100 in the United States as well as breaking the Top 100 in the UK and France. AdELA’s next mission is breaking into the Top 20 with her latest project entitled, On the Line, set for release in 2019.

Deerhunter

https://deerhuntermusic.com

How do you describe an album out of time, concerned with the disappearance of culture, of humanity, of nature, of logic and emotion? Why make this album in an era when attention spans have been reduced to next to nothing, and the tactile grains of making music have been further reduced to algorithms and projected playlist placement. Why wake up in the morning? Why hasn’t everything already disappeared?

Deerhunter’s eighth LP forgets the questions and makes up unrelated answers. It gets up, walks around, it records itself in several strategic geographic points across North America. It comes home, restructures itself and goes back to bed to avoid the bad news.

 

From the opening harpsichord and piano figures of ‘Death in Midsummer’, it is impossible to tell where the record came from. Is ‘No One’s Sleeping’ an outtake of an aborted Kinks recording session in 1977 Berlin with Eno producing? No. That is nostalgia. If there is one thing Deerhunter are making clear it is that they have exhausted themselves with that toxic concept.

Deerhunter are a band from Atlanta GA, comprised on Bradford Cox, Lockett Pundt, Moses Archuleta, and Josh McKay.

Just Loud

https://www.iamjustloud.com

Just Loud’s infectious, funky new song “Soul Train” features a very special guest – Debbie Harry. In the new video, Just Loud and Debbie engage in a high-speed chase brought to life through ’70s-inspired animation with a modern edge.

“I’m glad I had a minute to hang with Just Loud the other night in Brooklyn at my Vans show, says Debbie Harry. “Glad to be doing a little bit on his latest single Soul Train. I actually performed on the TV show of the same name. I hope you all like the song.”

“Soul Train” follows Just Loud’s debut EP, Episode I, which launched earlier last year and has set him up to be an intriguing artist to watch in 2018. Episode I features his debut single “Electrified”, proving itself to be a hit – garnering over 4 million streams since the release as well as climbing the Alt Radio charts, where it reached the top 25.

With an impressive range and sense of introspection, Just Loud is making personal discoveries in real time – expressing himself, finding his voice, sharing his pain and glories – through his compelling and impactful art that transcends genres.

The five members- guitarist/vocalist Grace Repasky, guitarist Maggie Geeslin, bassist John Michael Young, keys man Matteo De Lurgio, and drummer Connor Dowd- began writing and performing in their junior and senior years of high school. Unsure of how to label their fusion of dreamy melodies, surfy progressions, and psych-rock jams, the five-piece has described their music as “pool rock” Their first single, “Anna”, released in early 2017, and the band self-released their first EP, entitled “Swell”, later that year.

They released their second project, “Artificial Flavors”, in 2018, further crafting their sound. After the remaining members finally graduated high school, the five headed out on their first tour as a last hurrah before starting college.

Shepherds

https://www.instagram.com/shepherdsatl/

 

The healing hand and surgeon’s scalpel are intertwined on Shepherds’ new album ​Insignificant Whip​. The art-rock masterpiece encases the band’s vulnerable wisdom in flighty melodies that burn with intimacy and fragility as singer/lyricists Jonathan Merenivitch and Adrian Benedykt Świtoń address everything from toxic masculinity and Catholic guilt to Youtube comments and Tupac Shakur. Since their 2011 EP ​Holy Stain,​ the band have received accolades for their taut analyses of social ills and the resulting strain on body and mind, but even the skeletal no-wave that defined their early sound was bound with, in the broadest sense of the word, soul. The band’s ability to confront their deepest insecurities and doubts is more than simple catharsis, it serves to illuminate deeper questions of existence and identity, and frame them in context of systemic oppression, discrimination, and isolation. The band’s expansive new LP “Insignificant Whip” will be released on Arrowhawk Records in 2019

Yung Baby Tate

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet traditionally comprise the rainbow.

Similarly, Yung Baby Tate flaunts a rainbow-worthy variety of vibrant talents as an entertainer: namely singer, producer, rapper, dancer, actress, and “dope ass chick,” she laughs. However, with her colorful aesthetic musically and stylistically, she lives up to all of the above—especially, “dope ass chick.” Music seemed predestined. Tate actually attended the 1996 GRAMMY® Awards in the womb of her mother Dionne Farris of iconic rap group Arrested Development. As a kid in Decatur, GA, she developed a passion for nineties R&B and hip-hop, citing Brandy, SWV, Missy and more as influences in addition to pop muse Gwen Stefani.

Sharpening a style of her own, the budding songstress made her introduction with 2015’s EP ROYGBIV, and several singles leading up to the 2018 breakout BOYS EP. The latter produced a viral hit in the form of fan favorite “Bob,” clocking nearly a half-million cumulative streams within six months. Widespread acclaim followed from The Fader, Creative Loafing, Mass Appeal, The Source, & more. In the end, this rainbow is about to shine brighter than ever in 2018 and beyond.

DJ Euts

As an adolescent growing up in the DMV, Music has always been a significant part of Atlanta-based DJ/rapper Atria “DJ Euts” Eutsey’s aka “Tria Tria’s”, life. The young music enthusiast pursued a bachelor’s degree in Music Engineering at Hampton University with the desire to learn the finer techniques of music production.

During college, with the help of GarageBand, she experimented with creating and mixing music, falling deeply in love with production, and sharing her passion with friends. Rapping took a backseat, and DJ Euts was borne from her curiosity of mixing two songs.

From that point forward, she never looked back. And after graduation, she started Djaying at a variety of venues, her own open mic nights aka “Jam Session”, while also spinning corporate gigs, such as Opus Salesforce, Nike, True Religion, G by Guess, 7 for All Mankind, Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria’s Secret, Michael Kors, and Sneaker Con. Past clients have commented on her diverse song selection and her infectious personality. These days, DJ Euts is a regular fixture at Atlanta’s Edgewood Avenue clubs and party scenes, spinning Hip Hop, House, and remixes, with the ultimate goal of getting people dancing.

Ayanis always knew she was destined to sing. Raised in Texas-Atlanta, 23 year-old singer and dancer Samantha Ayanis Miller (pronounced Ayeyaun-is) is a dreamer. She sang in church choir and did youth beauty pageants but decided at a young age that she was going to be a professional entertainer. “Gospel music and the choir was my first real introduction to music,” she says. “When I turned nine, I told my family that I wanted to be a singer.” Despite their skepticism, she performed at school talent shows, had a brief stint in a girl group at 14 and put out YouTube covers, including Bruno Mars’ “Billionare” and Justin Bieber’s “Mistletoe.” She laughs, looking back at those early videos. “Growth is real.”

She enrolled at Georgia State University and majored in PR and journalism. “I knew I wanted to be an artist but I chose that because I could learn how the media would be.” In 2013, a cover posted to Instagram piqued the interest of songwriter/producer Mello The Producer. “He was the person who taught me how to record and taught me how to really be an artist.” She found a kindred spirit in Mello and the two cut several demos. “We have a bond musically.” Mello was working with August A…

https://locates1.com

 

Having rotated between a handful of cast and characters under various titles over the years (Jepeto Solutions, CE Schneider Topical, Christina Schneider’s Genius Grant…) Schneider has settled on the pop moniker Locate S,1 for her newest album, Healing Contest.

Healing Contest stands out as the fully realized, high-fidelity collaboration pairing Schneider’s compositions with the iconic creative force behind of Montreal. Produced, engineered and mixed by Kevin Barnes, Healing Contest is the debut release from Barnes’ new label, Sybaritic Peer.

On Healing Contest, Schneider is back with a futuristic palette of electronic drums, funky bass lines, and quietly hyperactive chord progressions that are sure to impress even the most learned musical millennial. Locate S,1 is the result of a seasoned songwriter cum lo-fi home-recorder delving into the world of mid-fi pop, with results that are pleasantly difficult to define; a technical tour-de-force that extrapolates high-brow jazz harmonics and prog-rock time signatures into a whole menagerie of new forms—all while still passing as pop.
