About Cloudchord: A specialist in augmenting music possibility, Derek VanScoten is the producer, guitarist, and Emmy-winning musician behind Cloudchord. His remarkable technical skills on the guitar give a refreshing take on dance music, solidifying his place in the world of psychedelic soulful chillhop beats. Derek grew up coveting guitar gods like Jimi Hendrix. The game changed when his Dad took him to see George Benson, and his Mom paid for jazz guitar lessons. His college years saw him learning about high-level recording studios; a summer spent as an audio engineer intern at the Aspen Music Institute ignited his reverence for acoustic music. His inspirations grew to include jazz pianist and life mentor Art Lande, and hip hop acts like Jurassic 5 and The Roots. After several years as a Brooklyn-based touring act called D.V.S*, Derek moved to Austin and rebranded. The creative focus was on the chill sides of dance music (from chillhop to deep house) while featuring live guitar and lap steel. In his first year as Cloudchord, he scored 6 consecutive #1 tracks on Hype Machine. Shortly after, a call came to score the documentary In Football We Trust. The work premiered at Sundance and won an Emmy. Other scoring clients have grown to include Disney, Gatorade, Facebook & L’Oreal. His latest LP (last year's Bloom Bap) and EP (this year's Daybreak) are continued explorations of his signature guitar riffs and a sonic reflection of living a creative, playful gratitude-filled life. “I see no reason ever to stop because music is absolutely my favorite thing to do in the world. Music is my spirituality and my quest for truth. It’s always right there if you’re willing to listen for it.” About Jeff Pierre: Jeff Pierre born and raised in Port-au-Prince Haiti, grew up surrounded by traditional Haitian drumming, dance and song in his mother's company. This is where he first fell in love with music and learned to drum. Jeff has been traveling the world sharing the beauty, complexity and Funkyness of Haitian Drumming. Listening to music on the radio, Jeff became curious and fascinated in how music is produced. This was what pushed him to explore the world of electronic music. Jeff's music is a blend of magical melodies, Fun, Nature, Haiti and Grooviness. When he plays and produces music he gets lost in the flow and the creativity. Jeff's goal is to put out loving energy and inspire others so we can create a happier, simpler and more loving world. About Bayonne: A performance pseudonym of experimental musician Roger Sellers, Bayonne incorporates voice, synths, looping, effects, acoustic percussion, and more into his ultra-layered, textured songs. After releasing a handful of albums under his own name in the early 2010s that explored an electro-acoustic avant-folk, Sellers started going by Bayonne for his more electronics-based work. A native of Spring, Texas, Sellers' affection for music began as a toddler, when he became fascinated with Eric Clapton's MTV Unplugged performance. An early love of Phil Collins led to his first drum kit at age six. With a background in formal study but largely self-taught on multiple instruments, he released the self-titled Roger Sellers in 2010, settling into a more structured, part-electronic folk over the course of 2011's Moments and 2012's 8 Song. In the meantime, Sellers established a fan base in Austin with his live, loop-layering solo shows before adopting the Bayonne moniker and releasing Primitives (2016) and Drastic Measures (2019) via Mom + Pop Records. Following up on the collaborative Nature's Voice EP between guitarist/producer Cloudchord and percussionist/vocalist Jeff Pierre, Bayonne provides the remix treatment for hypnotizing track "Beautiful Daze". Keeping the tropical vibes alive, this one sounds like an electrified dance party pulsing with guitars and synths. Think early morning in Ibiza or Tulum, Barbados or Canary Islands. Think Global Groove. It's lively and electric, immersive and feel-good. Perfect for the final song to close out the club or a poolside lounge during the sunset. Press play and have it instantly feel like summer again.
