Washington DC based Visors double down on Texas together with Austin based YATTE on the new Ishi remix of 'The Scene' - giving the soft rock tune a chillwave setting.
---
YATTE (pronounced YAH-tay) craft the soundtracks for top-down drives home from your next technically illegal all-nighter. Operating out of Austin, Texas, YATTE is a collaborative enterprise piloted by vocalist, synth player and producer Alex Chod. He comments this new collab like this:

- "I embarked on a mission to “throwback” the retrowave EDM vibe even further then it already was thrown. Attempting here to land into the world of ‘80s Don Henley, Toto, etc. Thanks to Visors, I had lots of room to move around and add my YATTE spices."

Visors is a new-school, new wave re-imagination, helmed by longtime industry vet Jeff Martin, a musician and producer whose sound has been shaped by years of touring on all sides of the pond. Martin re-connected with longtime friend Daniel Biltmore, a DJ/producer who signed on after spending over a decade of tutelage under Chad Hugo of The Neptunes/N*E*R*D. Studio wizard Tom LoMacchio would throw his hat in as well, creating their own brand of retrofuturism along the way.

The Texas based phenomenon Ishi’s ability to successfully walk the line between an ambitious studio act and a multi-sensory live experience allows him to engage the audience in an uplifting celebration of life. His subtle undertones of inner exploration combine to create a concert experience that is unequivocally one-of-a-kind. Each night, Ishi intends to create an entirely unique environment of mysticism, awareness, love and acceptance. Adored by fans and critics alike, there is no denying that Ishi is an immersive experience that everyone should discover. Last year Ishi released his third album 'Sweet Gold' and now is back with new music (new album is planned for 2024). Earlier this year Ishi teamed up with his friend and worldwide club phenomenon Maceo Plex on their collab 'Moon Sky' released on Maceo's Lone Romantic label. Hot off the back of that collaboration Ishi teamed up with fellow Dallas based artist Electrophunck on the new single Ride or Die which also got reworked by internationally acclaimed EDM-producer Oliver Nelson, and a ChopNotSlop mix by fellow Texan DJ Candlestick who recently remixed the whole Heroes & Villains album from Metro Boomin (!).

Ishi has established himself as an outsider phenomenon in Texas with a plethora of music ranging from nu-disco through synth-pop and indie-soulpop. Contributors including Medicine Man Revival, Nia Brock, Keite Young, and Cure for Paranoia. He's received praise everywhere from Run The Trap to the Dallas Observer, and remixes fr. CAPYAC, Kraak & Smaak, YUKSEK, Glamour Hammer and Oliver Nelson etc. He's also had a lot of great sync placements, most recently in the latest season of Atlanta, and playlisting placements incl. Retrowave//Outrun (Spotify), Coffee Club (Spotify) Metropolis (Spotify) Estate Chill (Spotify), Ripple Effect: Texas (Spotify), and New in R&B (Apple Music) Nightcap (Apple Music), indie + chill (Apple Music).
