AUDIOGLIDER REMIX CONTEST

A teenager in the eighties, with dodgy haircuts to match, Roberto Sodano saw Kraftwerk supported by the Human League , and straightaway fell in love with electronic music. During the 90’s the London based musician released tracks under a series of strange and possibly ill advised pseudonyms (such as Crystal, Backdoor Man, Autovelox & Pastaboy), before finally settling on the ethereal ‘Audioglider, ’ as a perfect name to encapsulate the essence of the music.

According to his bio, Audioglider is a master of 80's inspired downtempo, weaving a shoegazing sensibility together with a funk and dub based rhythm section, that’s not afraid to utilize some of the more interesting structures found in more club based music. He cites influences ranging from Ulrich Schnauss and Massive Attack, to Tori Amos and Talking Heads and you can hear shades of all of these in his music.

FOEM is featuring Audioglider's track 'Coming up for air' in their latest remix comp. 'Coming up for air' is the first single off Audioglider's debut album, due for release later this year. Both melodic and rhythmic, urgent bass lines and swinging steady drums hold the piece together, while textured layers of organic and electronic pads float above.

Prizes include at least one release of a winner's remix on Exceptional Records, and one-year free subscription to several account types on SoundCloud.

Deadline is August 5.
