Delorean

Delorean is an unheard of scenario in popular music: 4 guys from the Basque country currently based in Barcelona, free as air, high on O2, who have gradually moved away fromthe punk scene, and are now ready to embrace the kind of club music that a pop band would play.
In 2008, Delorean became focused on the remix business, working on tracks for The Teenagers, The Mystery Jets, The Big Pink, Lemonade and Glasser, which garnered support from Pitchfork, The Fader or XL8R as well as many other popular music websites.

In May 2009, Delorean released the Ayrton Senna Ep which confirmed that 2009 is definitely a good year for the band. Pitchfork reviewed both the track “Seasun” and the album “Ayrton Senna EP” as ‘best new music’, and NME, The Fader, The Guardian, XLR8R and ABC News also gave the record excellent reviews.

Delorean are currently working on a new full length album which was recorded by Hans Krüger and is being mixed by Chris Coady (!!!, Lemonade, Telepathe, Gang Gang Dance). Upon its release, they’ll be hitting the road to bring their infectious music to the world.
Lemonade

Lemonade played their first show with roughly two weeks of preparation in late 2006. The idea formed a month or so earlier when Alex Pasternak and Callan Clendenin were in Barcelona enjoying their time listening to Rai and Khaliji CDs they had bought at the Raval record shop “Nasifon”, laying on the beach drinking and going to squat raves until well after the sun came up. Collaborating with Ben Steidel upon their return, they mingled together crude technologies, battered percussion, live instruments, and limitless disparate influence, including: grime, early house and techno, samba, dancehall, island musics, and scary psychedelic noise. The show was mostly improvised, and ultimately a success with throngs of dancers mesmerized by their pulsing beats and clamorous crescendos.

From then on Lemonade became a fixture in San Francisco’s underground, playing everything from basement shows to warehouses, dance clubs to DIY venues, art galleries and rooftops. Their eruptive and exhilarating live experience can be at times unnerving and chaotic, as well as transporting and blissful, but still manages to unify diverse crowds in rapturous euphoria.

The band have since moved to Brooklyn and there they remain making music and creating havoc as they go.
