Blue Hawaii, Arbutus Records and many of their Montreal counterparts all began with the same breath in early 2010. To date Blue Hawaii has released an 8 song EP: in May of that year, Blooming Summer (Arbutus Records 2010) was recorded following the pair's travels in Central America. It frames a time of warmth and novelty, featuring dense female harmonies, tape saturated synths, guitars and drum machines. Eventually Ra returned to her role in BRAIDS, touring constantly, while Ag moved to Europe, treading deeper into dance music, electronics, and production.

2013 release from the Indie trio. To create the sounds that became Homosapien, PVT set themselves up inside a cavernous, 120-year-old mansion, with the recording overseen by young engineer Ivan Vizintin, and then mixed in London by Ben Hillier (Depeche Mode, Blur). This is the first release that's placed Richard Pike front and center as a bona fide frontman. The change gives the band a focal point that allows Homosapien to be more open, more intimate and yet also more direct than it's predecessors. This is the document of a band as close as ever to defining 'their sound': A seamless collage of instruments, electronics, old keyboards, machines, and Pike's voice.

House of Woo is the 2013 album from Maxmillion Dunbar, rogue house producer and one half of DC dance captains Beautiful Swimmers. House of Woo is a pure blast of bliss that works on a Funktion One just as well as it does a blown set of speakers at a house party gone woozy with punch drunk love.

Anxiety is the full-length follow up to Autre Ne Veut's 2010 s/t debut. The influences range from David Byrne to Lee Scratch Perry, Laurie Anderson & Annie Lennox to Katy Perry & Rihanna. ANV's primary influence is karaoke- the solitary person singing along with their favorite song. In karaoke we get to be someone bigger than who we usually are. There are club bangers on Anxiety, for sure; "Counting" a cybernetic sea shanty tips its hat to Timbaland, and opening track "Play By Play" rolls out like a slowly evolving Top 40 operetta with nods to Dr. Luke and Patti LaBelle in equal measure.
