Altered Zones

Logan Takahashi of Teengirl Fantasy says:
Tiago Carneiro is a young Porto-based producer and DJ we played a show with last December at a venue called Piano B in his home city. We found his music on MySpace and immediately emailed him asking to send some MP3s. Tiago makes sleepy, foggy, minimal come-down jams that could be described as a somewhat moody, Enya-inspired post-dubstep. The aptly titled "Cloudy" billows in and combines a distinct sound-world of warm, floaty synth pads with a sequence of sparse, dry, strategically placed drum hits. His approach definitely has its roots in other older producers dabbling in beat-sprinkled ambience (Brock Van Wey, Dettinger, Wolfgang Voigt), but the result is slightly hookier, drawing from some past dimension of UK garage or 2step.

Check out his page for a bunch of interesting tracks. As of now, his music only exists online, but we've been psyched on this artist for the past year and think more people should have the chance to hear his stuff.
