"Torontonian quartet, Azari & III have announced their debut self-titled album on Turbo Recordings/Loose Lips Records/Modular. It follows the release of the single 'Hungry For The Power,' which erupted a storm of awe on the underground music scene and a collaborative track 'Stay Here' with Friendly Fires in 2010. The record is set to become the sound of a dystopian summer with their innately brooding beat and sordid-pop edge. Azari & III's unique blend of moody electronica, dark yet hooky vocal choruses and analog-thick rhythms has earned them a hardcore following and sees this album as one of the most-anticipated in the calendar. The four-piece, consisting of producer/musicians Dinamo Azari and Alixander III with vocalists Fritz Helder and Starving Yet Full, have crafted a defining sound that relishes in its references while maintaining a future perspective. From the velvety refrains of 'Reckless With Your Love' through to the creeping melancholy of 'Manhooker' and the unhinged technopera of 'Undecided', their album possesses an individual classic-future feel, with trademark lush synthesizations, biting soulful chorus's and ominous overtones." Housed in a gatefold sleeve.

TURBO 103EP

"Hungry For the Power gets a fresh batch of big-name remixes in advance of Azari & III's debut LP release. Headlining the package is a showdown of Crosstown Rebels stars, with the red-hot Jamie Jones and Art Department each turning in massive renditions. Jamie's mix is a full-blown, driving party anthem, while Azari's fellow Torontonians elevate the pop flavors with a more laid-back approach. Guy Gerber delivers a feverish, saturated late-night mix."

Azari & III present a banging 12" with two remixes from DJ Sneak. And Sneak does what Sneak does best: disco-infected and loop-oriented house music. The full vocal mix has a more moderate tempo while the "Gangstaz Dub" speeds up the tempo a bit. The remix from label heads Tom Bioly and Benjamin Fröhlich bring beats + bells + piano/vocal break + organ loop + strings + angel voices + happiness.

TURBO 085EP
|
"Turbo Recordings is proud to present its latest signing, Azari & III. Azari & III's first two singles were championed by an impressive cross-section of DJs and artists like Erol Alkan, Hercules & Love Affair, Michael Mayer and Friendly Fires. This broad-spectrum appeal led to Juno Plus featuring them on their 'Ones to Watch in 2010' list, while 'Hungry for the Power' ranked on Resident Advisor's 'Top 50 Tracks of 2009' poll. They've been courted by Trax to become the flag-bearers of a late 80s Chicago revival, made arguably the best 90s dance pop hit of the 2000s with 'Reckless (For Your Love)', attracted the attention of Pitchfork and the indie kids, and yet they've only released two EPs. What they've got in the pipeline is going to blow people away. Their first outing on Turbo showcases a more stripped-down club sound, the pop vocals subdued to lush moans, the tones darker and deeper than what you've heard from them before, but every bit as catchy and effective on the dancefloor. The dub is an extended version with 10% more funk, 5% more 'jack', and 1% more jazz (our imposed limit)." On blue vinyl.

"Reckless (With Your Love)" by Azari & III, with its '90s house vibe, received plenty of love from all the global players, so it was time for some remixes. Tensnake sounds like he invited Snap and the C&C Music Factory for some mojitos while turning on the groove machine. Tuff City Kids come up with a high-nrg house monster with Derrick May-styled strings, Midnight Magic turn "Reckless" into a true New York-style disco smasher, while Good Guy Mikesh & Filburt go ten floors deeper.
