Dublin-born duo Long Island Sound (Rob Roche and Tim Nolan) are known for their euphoric-yet-introspective take on electronic music. Balancing emotion and energy, the pair craft dynamic and dreamy explorations via their own imprint, Signs of Space. 2022 saw the release of their seven-track Lost Connection, which Resident Advisor described as ‘glorious, heart-tugging sunset techno’. Following the success of their debut LP and a sold-out launch party in Dublin’s own Tengu, the pair embarked on their Summer festival tour, culminating in a standout set at Ireland’s All Together Now.
2023 began with the release of Lost Connection Remixes, a heavyweight remix package featuring remarkable reinterpretations of Long Island Sound’s debut album by Mor Elian, Benjamin Damage, James Shinra and Cromby. That summer, they followed up with the highly anticipated ‘Don’t Let Me/Air’ EP; a pair of unadulterated festival-ready house epics supported by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, Tim Sweeney on Beats in Space and Jenny Greene on RTÉ 2FM. To cap off the year, they landed a remix for synth-rock titans Depeche Mode, creating a well-received rework of ‘My Favorite Stranger’ from the album Memento Mori.
Long Island Sound kicked off 2024 strongly with a remix for UK techno/house duo Kassian, transforming ‘The Machine’ into a big room melancholic trance track. March saw the release of their Fracture EP on Istanbul’s Oath, a six-track exploration of dark spaces and emotions, featuring remixes from Otik and Spray, garnering support from industry heavyweights Bonobo, I.Jordan, Fred Again and more. With their debut album, Hydra, and accompanying live show on the horizon, the pair are set to bring their unique blend of energy and emotion to new heights.
