It took about 20 seconds to like Olympic Ayres a lot. I heard their latest release ‘Control’ recently, and I was sold. It is just above this text, and I invite you to click it and see what I mean. I managed to get them to take time off from watching the World Cup to answer a few questions. We chat about dates, rivalries and where they’re going.
Australia Vs Netherlands World Cup match ... we were robbed!!Â
Yeah! we are very happy with the response we've had for our new songs (Take Flight & Control) ... We cant wait to share with everyone this EP we've been working on titled 'Leisureplex' (outSeptember 17th).
We're two guys from Sydney who came together to make some music, and we're still making music :)
It's very exciting! I was thinking the other day I cant remember another time in my life where there have been so many Australian bands/producers on my playlists ... lots of good music coming from here!
I don't feel like there is a rivalry in music .... maybe sports? but we're not that into cricket.
It's Jessica Gomes and we go eat Yum Cha.
Kam showed me the song one day, he had done at home and it was pretty much finished, I just added a bit of guitar and other little production tweaks and it was done!
For this EP we recorded it at Linear Studios in Sydney using vintage analogue equipment and a real drummer for all of the tracks. We tried to stay out of the computer as much as possible so I guess you can hear a difference between our new and older tracks
Jungle, Panama, Lykke Li, Sampha, Juce, Little Dragon, Movement, Oliver Cheatham, Chet Faker, Oscar Key Sung, Schoolboy Q, Moderat, Metronomy, Todd Terje, Hercules & Love Affair, Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, Rhye.
A studio with a million synths and drum machines, guitar, bass, piano, rhodes, pre-amps and a sizzler buffet.
We're releasing our EP 'Leisureplex' on September 17th and playing some shows!
