Estate Teams With Liquid Pegasus On “Tendency”

ESTATE & LIQUID PEGASUS TEAM UP TO RELEASE A CLASSIC INDIE DANCE DEBUT WITH “TENDENCY”

‘Tendency” is the first collaboration between Estate and Liquid Pegasus– is an indie dance track full of smooth, ethereal vocals and 80s synth beats. With dance music now turning ultra-futuristic, a divide has grown between those who aim to cultivate vintage sounds for modern audiences, and those who want to create original sound unique to modern production techniques. Estate and Liquid Pegasus give it to listeners both ways.

Liquid Pegasus, based in Tokyo, has spent the past few years cultivating his own soulfully dirty, playful Baleric boogie with house notes. Meanwhile, New York City’s Estate has taken a decidedly modern, 90’s influenced indie dance approach. The exchange of styles and sensibilities keeps one foot in the vintage and one in the modern – while creating something entirely original. The bands col laborated across hemispheres by exchanging digital files – and never working in the same studio. In fact, most of the time Estate’s Josh Johnson works from his New York studio, while bandmate Dan Kramer works in Minneapolis.

Liquid Pegasus, aka Josh Lundquist, has been pro ducing music for 10 years. Soon after moving to Tokyo a decade ago, a friend gave him an abandoned Juno 106 someone had been abandoned on the sidewalk. Lundquist took this as a sign to carve out his own brand of boogie-influenced Balearic funk, with a remix of Codebreaker’s “Fire” ft. Kathy Diamond and then played around with ethereal slouching disco on a remix of “Hon-Ken” by Auxion off of Shaddock Records. Liquid Pegasus’ first album will be released in early 2014.
