  • Stream: Sleep Thieves – Sparks (Haüer Remix)

    May 21, 2015 - By 

    Eight months on from the release of his (inter)stellar debut EP, Esperbyte, Dublin electro producer John Rooney AKA Haüer has unveiled his remix of Sleep Thieves‘ ‘Sparks’, the b-side to the latter’s latest single, ‘You Want The Night’. A synth-drenched masterstroke, the remix is a retro-futuristic, electro-disco re-imaging of ridiculously danceable proportions, re-igniting our excitement for new Haüer material later in the year.

  • EP Stream: Haüer – Esperbyte

    September 9, 2014 - By 

    Dublin electro wizard Haüer immediately grabbed our attention last week with ‘Merc II’, the lead single from his second EP, Esperbyte. “Cursed with a weakness for nostalgic 80’s music production and synth-based cinematic film scores”, the producer has concocted real retrofuturistic, synth-governed magic on the aforementioned four-track release – evoking everyone and everything from Perturbator to Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury’s Drokk: Music inspired by Mega​-​City One – set for release on Friday. Ahead of our interview with producer – as well as our review of the EP – stream the Esperbyte via Soundcloud below. Photo by Loreana Rushe.
