Sean Palm
Sean Palm first dreamt of electric sheep during the early 1990's. Ortofon Androids remained sleepless on traintracks in
Brooklyn, their feet kicking up the dust that would eventually settle on the heydey of East Coast Underground Culture.
Before the decade was up, Palm began programming his visions into atmospheric rhythms, utilizing a customized shrine-like studio surrounded by faint whispers
of his strongest teachers. His inspiration initialy came from a diverse collection of classic wax. Tattered jackets featuring the logos of Warp, R&S & Strictly
Rhythm gave this dedicated producer visions of not only moving dance floors, but also stirring bodies and minds in more intimate settings.
In early 2005 he and partner Matt Xavier founded the label project Railyard Recordings. The forward thinking label with strong roots in Techno's past would not
only be an output for his solo productions, but would also provide a support system for past, present and future compositions in an open source family
environment.
His first production "Where's My Dongle?" was featured as the opening track on Loco Dice's essential "Time Warp" Compilation. Riding the momentum, he made a
guest appearance with Railyard's Joel Mull on Steve Bug's stellar Audiomatique label. The release was immediately licensed by Steve Lawler for his VIVA
Compilation. The duo's newfound project THE DESCENT draws from the sonic mastery of Sweden's most soulful producer while incorporating the trademark, hypnotic
Palm sound. Klickhouse minimalist Tim Xavier, Poker Flat New Zealander Simon Flower, and long time mastermind Alexi Delano have all remixed the "future-sound"
of Railyard's head honcho.
Keep your ears close to the tracks in 2008. The rumble is growing... |
