Isaac Delusion
Isaac Delusion are three Paris-based multidisciplinary artists who are continually exploring new musical landscapes. From deep to high pitches, Loic's distinctive voice allows him to find the right tone and create his own identity with every breath.

Loic's imagination makes him a mysterious character. His trips to Iceland and his love for American pop folk led him to compose with his friend Jules.

The trio's first offering, the Midnight Sun EP, was released… Show more on the esteemed French taste-maker label Cracki Records in early 2012. The EP is full of honest and simple pop songs, including the instant favorite, "Midnight Sun." Chris Douridas from KCRW best describes the tracks as "a burst of sweetly-sung pop propelled by catchy beats."

Early Morning, the trio's second EP also on Cracki Records, mixes pop, electronic, hip hop loops, folk and a funk bass, all with an unbearable lightness. It's a step forward for the band and shows an ongoing musical evolution. All this has been amplifying lately, from shows in New York for the CMJ Festival to Berlin, Barcelona and Warsaw, with a set at the 2012 Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris.

Just like a dream disappears when trying to catch one, Isaac Delusion's music is elusive. The first release was about sun at midnight, the second is about dawn. The band is currently working on a full-length album for release in 2013, keeping us all awake.

Seatraffic
Seatraffic is Mark Zannad (vox, synths) and Brandon Harrison (drums). Hailing from San Francisco, the duo's brand of shoegazy dreampop uses the city's richness and dynamic culture as a muse. They formed during the cold summer of 2011 and later released their self-titled EP in November 2011.

"The San Francisco electronic pop duo takes a page out of the 1980s synth playbook, and executes it with a shiny modern gleam, incorporating dreamy reverb, and heavy, shoe-gazing beats." --SF Bay Guardian
