VIDEO: Lilacs & Champagne – Sour / Sweet

• 5th Mar 2013

As if it were crafted especially today and the first rays of sun of the UK springtime, this belting new hazy summer slice from Lilacs & Champagne nosed its way into our inbox dripping in golden reminisces and lazy afternoon beats, the warm vinyl crackle and choppy samples had us reaching for the repeat button approximately LOADS of times.

Lilacs & Champagne, the side project of Grails’ Emil Amos and Alex Hall, is made up of sounds sourced from Scandinavian porn and hyper-obscure b-movies from the late ‘60s, ‘Danish & Blue’ pulls from records other DJs wouldn’t touch by strategy. “We want to twist the knife as far as it can go into sample-based methodology, by taking pieces of loner music history and empowering them to shed light on both the pathetic side of human life and its improbable beauty.” says Amos.

UK and European live dates to be announced shortly.
