The all powerful Goldroom has parted the clouds to enlighten me on this one and I am ecstatic. Electric touch indeed. Feeling this one in a Valerie collective type of fashion. Thats huge props if you know how I feels about some Valerie collective. Dreamy, funky, ghostly almost and undeniably funky. We are loving this one. Free download as well you say? too kind....far too kind. Hot Hot Hawk feat Patrick Baker - Electric Touch by Patrick Baker So damn smooth. by the time the synth [...]
After hearing the "Electric Touch" collaboration between Nashville vocalist Patrick Baker (pictured above) and Russian production duo Hot Hot Hawk , I reached out to get some insight into how they started working togher. "Hot Hot Hawk got in touch with me about doing some vocals after hearing the demos I had posted on SoundCloud," says Baker. "Even though we couldn't be further apart geographically we're both in a smaller sub-scene within the larger indie dance/nu-disco community that tends to gravitate towards a more retro/802s aesthetic. I think because it's a [...]

American retro ElectroPopper Patrick Baker has not only made an extremely impressive name for him self in a short time but is also fast becoming the king of collaborations. There’s not many singers floating around the SynthWave/Outrun scene, so when one comes along as talented as Baker I guess everyone wants a crack at vocal stuff. His most recent collaboration is this new single with one of Russia’s finest, Hot Hot Hawk . Electric Touch , the fruit of this union, get’s it’s proper release around X-Mas on a compilation album titled [...]

![Break Science & Michal Menert – Electric Touch : Glitch / Soul / Dubstep Collaboration [Pretty Lights Music]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4557720_lg.jpg)
Seeing collaboration tracks between two producers I really dig ignites a little childlike excitement. Heres' "Electric Touch" , an electro soul anthem done by Break Science and Michal Menert . When two groups who are signed under the Pretty Lights Music label team up, you know you are going to get a beast of a track filled with so endless soul and groove. It incorporates the live drumming and keys from Break Science, fused with Michal Menert's insane sampling and producing abilities. This is the first sample of their upcoming EP, coming out. This [...]
The title of Electric Touch's second album drips with unintentional irony, as the record is created from nothing but recycled (yet catchy) ideas from the book of big dumb rock clichs. I'm not sure if the title Never Look Back is intended as irony, but it certainly works on that level. This album, the second from Austin's Electric Touch, does nothing but look back. The songs here are created entirely from the book of big dumb rock clichs, and the band never betrays a hint of self-awareness about what they're doing. There's a chance that the band [...]
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that this Saturday, April 21, is the fourth annual Record Store Day . Like the past three years, record stores around the country are offering exclusive releases, great deals, free goodies and even in-store performances for Saturday's celebration of independently owned record stores. The event is even better if you live in Chicago because there are many great record stores strewn across the city, but it's hard to keep count of which one is doing what. Therefore, once again , we've done the dirty work for you in this [...]
It's a well-known fact that most band names are essentially gobbledygook, but here at Rocks Off we're trying hard to find meaning in the oddest monikers. Posters extolling the virtues of Austin'... Continue reading "Electric Touch: Their Sinister Plot Exposed" >

Though Electric Touch may mostly hail from Austin, Texas, the band's singer calls England home.

Electric Touch tour dates: Feb 14 - Denver, CO - Bluebird Theatre Feb 15 - Salt Lake City, UT - In the Venue Feb 17 - Vancouver, BC - Venue Feb 20 - [...]

Ah, the Warped Tour. One of the last remaining bastions of a punk-rock tour in the U.S. Even though I've never heard of most of the bands that are playing the festival this year and the tour tends to cater to a much younger crowd (i.e. 12-16 years old, it seems), Warped is still an American institution that should be attended at least once. That being said, the main acts for this, the 17th annual Warped Tour, include the following bands: 3OH!3, A Day To Remember, The Devil Wears Prada, Against Me!, August Burns Red, [...]

Wow. So apparently Our Lady Peace is still a band and they are actually coming to Antones on Tuesday night. Recent Austin transplants Electric Touch will also be on hand providing opening support. If interested, get yo tickets now for $20 . Much to our surprise, Our Lady Peace also just released a brand new album last month with this new single "All You Did was Save my Life". It's.... interesting. Download: Our Lady Peace - All You Did was Save my Life [MP3]
Day two of All Points West brought one welcome addition: sun. Not enough to dry up the mountains of mud of course, but enough so that the experience could be pleasant from the knees up. Against all odds, the good weather lasted the entire day, allowing for the kind of roaming musical exploration for which festivals were made. First up was alt-in die rockers …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead . From their aggressively melodic instrumental opening through the finale where singer/guitarist/drummer Jason Reece [...]
Misquoted : w/ Electric Touch (again, you may notice that all of the Mile High Music Festival interviews have roughly the same questions. This is because I wanted to get different points of view from as many bands as I could concerning these topics. Enjoy!) Have you guys noticed if there have been any trends in music that seem to be [...]
Electric Touch is playing the final night of a three-show NYC residency tonight at Piano's. This is an early show and the Electric Touch goes on at 7PM. The band puts on a great live show and has been playing a lot of major festival (including All Points West this Saturday) so I would expect Piano's to be packed; Get there early!
