About Tiedye Ky: Vibrating rooms all throughout the Philadelphia music scene, tiedye’s dynamic and natural sounding music accompanied by his modest charm, embark on a warm and colorful journey that has only just begun for this fresh sound bender. About Potions:Chicago multi-instrumentalist and producer, Tom Owens, has gathered together the standard tools of the solo (and laptop-less) electronic musician trade - a system of drum machines, samplers and synths - and rather than veering too far in the direction.. "Spend any time at DIY house parties or experimental shows in the Chicago underground scene and you will come to know the music of multi-instrumentalist Tom Owens. His solo jams as Potions, conveyed from a complex system of synths, samplers, and drum machines, have sparked innumerable room-shaking grooves, sending even the normies present to confer with their gyrating bros about how "This is really weird, but I like it." Having studied jazz guitar in college, Owens restarted his musical practice to explore the possibilities of electronic composition - while releasing his own music and his friends' work through his tape label Pretty All Right. Despite their humble terrestrial origins, the sessions that constitute Light and Dark embody a unique strain of analog performance that conjures a vibe closer to space age lounge music than any sub-genre of contemporary dance. Potions tinkers with a palette of post-Yellow Magic Orchestra electronic exotica, charged with tightly programmed beats and intricately layered synth arrangements. Drum patterns clatter through polyrhythmic configurations, evolving into new variations at a rate that shatters expectations of recursion. Melodies unwind in swathes of day-glo activity over labyrinthine chord progressions, locking into memorable harmonic contrasts and moments of pure major-key bliss. Potions cherry-picks tactics from various electronic traditions and repurposes them as logical elements of his dense arrangements: squelching Aphex acid basslines, slow filter sweeps that wash out entire backdrops, four-on-the-floor bass drum patterns laid against syncopated toms and cowbell clicks."
