INAUDIBLE

On the decks for the second installment of Young Producers is my man ROUTE 8…

Singlehandedly putting Budapest on the techno map, Gergely Szilveszter Horváth, who signs his productions as Route 8, creates spacey house and techno music that taps into a strong sense of nostalgia. Most of his jams are of the eyes closed, head bobbin’, foot tappin’ variety and play out just as well on the dancefloor as they do on the couch, even if his vibe is decidedly chill.

Horváth’s first releases came out courtesy of local Hungary, Budapest label, Farbwechsel, which gained him the attention of one of my current fave presses, Lobster Theremin, where he’s dropped his Dry Thoughts EP in 2014, and the even peppier This Raw Feeling EP that came out this spring. He’s also put out the more introspective and dubby Eleda EP on Berlin based Nous Records, another emerging label that has only released class act music from young and upcoming producers.

Route 8 records all of his tracks live and says that his live gigs are the main influence on his songwriting at the moment, and in an interview with Leisure Collective from 2014 he stated that when he first started playing shows he was always shocked when he saw people dancing to his music, but now it’s become his mission to get asses movin’ on the dancefloor as he tours around Europe and perfects his craft as a DJ and producer.

Horváth’s trajectory is only on the up and up and his music as Route 8 is definitely worth checking out. Peace. See ya next week.
