POCKET: DOUBLE A-SIDE EP’S FEATURING
CRAIG WEDREN & DAVE SMALLEY
Plus remixes by Styrofoam, GD Luxxe & Spoolwork
DESCRIPTION
Something different this time:
2 separate singles, each acting as the others B-Side!
Craig Wedren (Shudder To Think) and Dave Smalley (Dag Nasty, Down By Law) both have connections to DC’s hardcore scene and Dischord Records, so it seems like a fun idea to release them together! POCKET used pieces of the same Satoshi artwork for the covers so if you hold them together, you get the complete picture. Videos for both songs will be released in conjunction with the singles.
POCKET, aka Richard Jankovich, fronted electro pop group Burnside Project whose “Cue The Pulse To Begin” was the title theme of Showtime’s Queer As Folk.
He has remixed Radiohead, Beck, Joanna Newsom, Of Montreal, Kristen Hersh, Antony & The Johnsons, Asher Roth and many more.
POCKET’s latest project is a series of singles with A-Sides featuring a “Dream List” of legendary vocalists to collaborate with. These songs are paired with B-Sides where he introduces breaking artists. Each release also features three remixes
by producers from across the spectrum of electronic music, such as Styrofoam, Justus Köhncke & GD Luxxe.
