......................ABOUT THE ARTISTS..........................
M. GEDDES GENGRAS
Gengras has slowly built up a reputation as one of the West Coast's key modular synthesists thanks to heavy touring and releases for labels like Stunned Records, Holy Mountain and Umor Rex, who put out his other solo release from 2016, Two Variations. Geddes is also responsible for a techno alias, Personable, and looks after the mutant dancehall Duppy Gun Productions project with Cameron Stallones, AKA Sun Araw.
Interior Architecture was recorded over six years in California, Connecticut and The Netherlands. The label says it was conceived as a "impossible project," seeking to be simultaneously "stark and lush, sprawling and concise, analog and digital." Gengras himself provides a colorful description of the four sides of synthesizer music. He says: "At its best, it should feel like sinking into really warm quicksand or dying of hypothermia."
DENNIS OWENS
Since 1990 Dennis Owens has been at the forefront of the LA / OC / Long Beach, California music scene. He burst on the the ska scene as singer for influential 3rd-wave ska band Suburban Rhythm opening for No Doubt & Sublime. He then founded "The Good Foot" --a vinyl only soul / dance party, now 17 years running (The oldest running soul club in LA, CA). He is the official event DJ and vinyl guru for Burger Records and contributes weekly to the burger podcast. He played bass for ten years with Free Moral Agents with the legendary Ikey Owens. He is currently one of the most sought after DJs in Los Angeles for ambient, soul, and rare.
