Recalling the intrepid sample-driven pop made by artists such as
Beck and
Cornelius during the '90s, the music produced by New York-based duo
Dawn People is a thick, hazy collage of funky breakbeats, grainy tape loops, and live instrumentation. The project was founded in 2016 by
Nick Forté and Peter Negroponte, both of whom are veterans of several experimental, electronic, and indie music scenes. Among other projects,
Forté released glitch/IDM on labels like Schematic and Sublight and performed in post-punk and hardcore bands like
Computer Cougar and
Raspberry Bulbs, as well as the experimental group
Christmas Decorations, and Negroponte founded the acclaimed no wave punk-funk group
Guerilla Toss, in addition to releasing solo material as Do Pas O.
Dawn People's debut full-length,
The Star Is Your Future, was recorded by
Forté and Negroponte along with engineer Josh Druckman and mixer Abe Seiferth, and DFA released it in November of 2017. ~ Paul Simpson
