5.11 Saturday (Electronic) Nectar & Solid Sound present: COM TRUISE (DJ Set) with DJ Kid Hops (KEXP) and Austin Robertson (Routine) $22adv 8pm, 21+ Nectar Lounge 412 N 36th St www.nectarlounge.com Com Truise is the nom de guerre of producer and designer Seth Haley, born-and-raised in upstate New York and currently working out of Los Angeles. His synth- and sci-fi-obsessed records are as infectious as they are expansive. From 2011's Galactic Melt LP to its long-awaited follow-up, Iteration, Com Truise has refined his singular style of melodic beat music. Each piece ties together his ideas of "synth-wave" and "slow-motion funk" amidst a glowing backdrop of rich, nostalgic pathos. Haleys been making music for over 15 years, dabbling as a DJ and with a number of aliases before locking into Com Truise. Though undoubtedly influenced by his parents' record collections and old, faded product design, the Com Truise project doesn't only pull from the past. Hints of Joy Division, New Order, and Cocteau Twins bubble up in every prismatic piece, but it's as if they're processed through a waterlogged game consolewarped, cybernetic, and high-definition. Somehow, Com Truise sounds both familiar and uncanny, and always beautifully handmade.
