Search - Various Artists :: It's Importland to Me to Be One Step Further Than One Step Beyond: Holocene Music Remix Compilation Vol. 1

"**** Who's On it? In terms of Portland's indie rock and digipop, who isn't? A solid survey of genre spasms centered on `post-everything' warehouse venue Holocene. Any good? Indubitably. Percussive and persuasive, these recontexturalized collaborations are a real serious showcase." - URB "The Portland, Oregon club Holocene hosts the latest and hottest in indie and electronic music, so it's only fitting that the brains behind the club have decided to start their own record label specializing in the latest and hottest in indie and electronic music." - PITCHFORK "The disc looks to chronicle the music scene in Portland, OR right now by having a bunch of local artists remix a bunch of other local artists. It just turns out that amazing dudes like Memomena and The Thermals and Copy and E*Rock, and Y.A.C.H.T. and Blitzen Trapper and The Blow all happen to live there. So they end up with a totally kick ass mix." - MUSIC FOR ROBOTS "Title zaniness aside, the disc is a real solid listen. Stumptown indie faves (who you might've read about) like The Blow and Y.A.C.H.T. get remixed with additional bleeps and thumps and Casio-tones courtesy of their friends and neighbors, and the whole thing captures the digi-DIY, northwestern bedroom beat spirit Holocene strives to cultivate." - THE FADER The debut release from Portland's Holocene Music label, It's Importland To Me... is a unique collaboration in which a selection of the city's most talented electronic musicians were asked to reinterpret the music of their favorite Portland bands. The result is a post-millennial blend of electropunk, indie rock, and outsider folk, digitally spliced and mutated to form a cohesive album of genre-screwed electronic music.
