S U R V I V E at the Echoplex on 10.06.16

S U R V I V E perform under the cover of darkness at the Echoplex on 10.06.16.

I've got a bit more energy than I thought for this late afternoon/evening. So I'm going to dust off this partially written post for S U R V I V E's Echoplex performance from Oct. 2016, and finally wrap it up. Let's get started ... and/or finished.I was first introduced to Austin's deep synth quartet …

Tycho’s “See,” featuring Beacon

I realize I just posted a fairly large bit on NorCal's proggy instrumental chillwave act Tycho late last month. It was their Greek Theatre show from early September. But I recently stumbled upon their single "See," which is a one-off collaboration with New York electronic duo Beacon, and I just couldn't resist.First off, I didn't …
