Adeyhawke's Driving All Night

Influenced by the Valerie Collective, Ciaran aka Adeyhawke decided to start producing music, actually he came across the blog by accident and went linking, he told us that everything associated to it like the 80s influences, images, the sounds captivated him. He comes from a ambient background and he had released an album on a small Dublin label under a different name, so doing electro is new for Adeyhawke but by his sounds and this really deep touch we can tell that he has been around.

As far as influences go, he likes all the biggies like Moroder, Cowley, John Carpernter etc. He's also into Colonel Abrahams, Midnight Star, Herbie Hancock and most other people in that general vein. Boards of Canada is a big influence also and that explains the aged feel of Adeyhawke's tracks.

Now, what you are all waiting, here's a really great remix for AnoraaK's "Nightdrive with You" by Adeyhawke and believe me you'll get the deep feeling that i was talking about.

I have two more gifts for you, the original version by AnoraaK and "Skyscraped" a great track produced by Adeyhawke. Be the judge on these ones and check out AnoraaK's myspace because his EP comes out late April and is going to be tight.

One more for The Neon Talent.

I'd like to introuduce to you Digikid84 . Two 23 yr. old producers from France, (Huntington William a.k.a Billy Bones and Adrian Bloom a.k.a Kid84), coming from the Hip-Hop movement.

"Being for a long time fans of the 80s and of all who cling to it, Billy and Kid draw their inspirations
as well from classical authors of this period (A-HA, Boy Georges, Michael Jackson, TOTO, Eurhythmics)
as in generics of cartoons expensive to a whole generation (Cosmocats, SilverHawks, GalaxyRangers, Jayce and the conquerors of the light and many others).

The nostalgia for these two apprentices is thus of use to us a florilege of all the musics which rocked their ears, the whole sprinkled with heavy and energetic drum kits to spice the whole!"

Valerie Collective meets Boys Noize. They have that 8 bit feeling, but add so much more. Their sound is not that distorted as others, and you can tell their hip hop background somewhere in the middle of everything.

One of the new french upcomers that doesn't sound like everybody else. They've done remixes for LC, Ocelot, NT89 and more.

Keep your eyes on this guys because you're going to here more from them. Specially here at The Neon Rider, we'll have more stuff from them soon.

I'll leave you a double treat as always. Two different songs, so you can appreciate the range of this guys.
