Azari & III

Bringing with them every feeling of vice and ecstasy, the record is set to become the sound of a dystopian summer with their innately brooding beat and sordid-pop edge. Sounding like a combination of New York '79, Chicago in '86 and the world in the future, Canadian quartet 'Azari & III' are one of the most exciting new directions in dance music with their sizzling update of classic house and electro pop that is unbeatable in the discotheque and unstoppable in your dreams. Azari & III's unique blend of moody electronica, dark yet hooky vocal choruses and analog-thick rhythms has earned them a hardcore following and sees this album as one of the most-anticipated in the calendar. The four-piece, consisting of producer/musicians Dinamo Azari and Alexander III with vocalists Fritz Helder and Starving Yet Full, have crafted a defining sound that relishes in it's references while maintaining a future perspective. From the velvety refrains of 'Reckless with Your Love' through to the creeping melancholy of 'Manhooker' and the unhinged technopera of 'Undecided', their album possesses an individual classic-future feel, with trademark lush synthesizations, biting soulful choruses and ominous overtones. There ain't no chance you're getting away from this one.
