Keeping the Harmonious Discord style in full effect, this “mini-album” features 6 solo works from J.D. Northrup aka Chakaharta. Funky percussive beat construction and dubby-yet-progressive edits keep these songs moving and grooving both on the dancefloor and off. Available as an exclusive release on Beatport.com through 8/22 (other distro to follow).

B1. Pale Blue Dot (Patchen’s North Texas Defection Mix)
B2. Motion (Patchen’s Swing-set Mix)
Almost a year ago we made contact with an artist we felt would be pioneering an edgy, forward-thinking sound. Patchen Preston is an unsung veteran of early Dallas house and down-tempo, who in 2007 switched his attention to putting his patented electronic swing to use in a string of releases for our label.
Patchen- Pale Blue Dot (JV’s Full Circle Remix) is currently #28 on THE BALANCE CHART
Harmonious Discord is pleased to announce its 10th release with an artist we feel shatters convention at every opportunity. Over the past 5 years Harmonious Discord has been a favorite for abstract DJ’s in the know with releases from artists like Morgan Page, Rithma, Jacob London, Merrick Brown and Demarkus Lewis. During our 5th release we received a remix from an artist that blew us away, and since then we have been itching to work with him artist in a greater capacity. We felt it only proper that we celebrate our 10th release with an artist we feel is changing the landscape of electronic music — KiloWatts.
