sonns: teacher

Now a household name in the Los Angeles underground dance milieu, Alexandre Mouracade's DJ sets as Sonns carry the influences of a life lived with the sounds of NEU!, Tones on Tail, and Arthur Russell -- a genre-bending bricolage ranging from punk-infused club serenades to multi-colored synth riffs -- and his studio sessions routinely fuse vintage analog equipment with digital synths, guitar pedals, and field recordings. This expertise heavily informs the tightly woven "Teacher," which comes in a propelling "Danse Version" and as pop-indebted original, and also features the rich and silky vocals of "Tobias Buch" (The Late Great Fitzcarraldos).
