Big History: New Single

New Orleans 6 piece indie-electronica band Big History has been playing One Eyed Jack's and the Republic for a little bit now... and anyone who claims to be into the local music scene has seen these guys live a few times at least. But they just recently released their first major single "War Drum" that has the blogosphere buzzing with excitement.

"War Drum" is a pounding electronic journey through synths and violins with Meg Roussel's warm vocals leading the way. With some help from British electro-pop artist/producer Japayork, Big History's production really let the sparks fly on this track. They are moving further in the dance direction and we're loving it...

Christoph Andersson: New Album on the Way

New Orleans isn't the first place anyone thinks of when you mention electronic music. But Christoph Andersson's monthly Electronic TKVR parties that he hosts with other local acts Swiss Chriss and G-Eazy have grown to  500+ ragers in little over a year. He likes being the black sheep in NOLA where electronic is a less popular genre. He told Filter Magazine "Not being around other electronic musicians or a huge scene has benefitted me. I don't think I'd do very well in a place like New York or L.A.... I doubt I'm even cool enough."

Oh you're cool enough, mister. Andersson, despite being new to the scene, has already shared the stage with Hot Chip and Crookers at Voodoo Fest and started his own record label, Hurst Recordings (named after the Nola street where he grew up) and, over the past year,  released an EP and various catchy beat-driven pop tracks. His refreshing sound has caught the attention of other artists and bloggers with its bridge between airy pop and dance. He told LSU magazine that his main goal going into every track is to "blend really catchy pop music...with really contemporary electronic technique".
