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 …

Big Electric Playlist, September 2019

Honestly, I almost opted not to post the September edition of the Big Electric Playlist. I only had four posts for last month, all of them previous concerts I neglected to get up in a timely manner ... except for maybe The Cure.Anyway, I was surprised to see that those four posts somehow compiled three …

Tycho’s “Black Sunrise”

In the absence of any pics from Tycho's early morning Burning Man set, I've opted for this photo from their Fonda Theatre performance on 10.07.16. Two years later, and a totally different venue, yet darkly lit, like a "Black Sunrise."

Tycho's 2014 early morning Burning Man set, titled "Black Sunrise" is an eclectic downtempo DJ set, full of chilled beats, ambient melodies, and vintage synth sounds. According to the Soundcloud description, Tycho's set started around 5:40am on the Playa. So picture that as you're listening to this for the next two hours.Tycho, for those unfamiliar, …
