Com Truise is the nom de guerre of producer and designer Seth Haley. His synth and sci-fi-obsessed records are as infectious as they are expansive. From his breakout EP in 2010, Cyanide Sisters, to his first LP in 2011, Galactic Melt, and his numerous records, remixes and collections to follow, Com Truise has refined his singular style of melodic beat music. Each piece ties together his ideas of synth-wave and slow-motion funk amidst a glowing backdrop of rich, nostalgic pathos.
Haleyâs been making music for over 15 years, dabbling as a DJ and with a number of aliases before locking into Com Truise. Though undoubtedly influenced by his parents' record collections and old, faded product design, the Com Truise project doesn't only pull from the past. Hints of Joy Division, New Order, and Cocteau Twins bubble up in every prismatic piece, but it's as if they're processed through a waterlogged game consoleâwarped, cybernetic, and high-definition. Somehow, Com Truise sounds both familiar and uncanny, and always beautifully handmade.

Portland-based keyboardist/producer Asher Fulero has been a go-to collaborator for an incredibly diverse array of artists across genres, from atmospheric EDM legend Emancipator and Rap genius Aesop Rock to shred-guitar hero Paul Gilbert and Jamgrass pioneers Yonder Mountain String Band (and many, many more), all while simultaneously growing his own widely-diverse arsenal of top-notch original performing projects and composing nearly 50 genre-spanning albums of accomplished original music over the last 25 years.
Released in 2024, Fuleroâs LP âWorldsâ crosses influences from Downtempo, Indie Live-electronic & Post-Rock into a polished mix of emotionally powerful instrumental overtures blending the texture of real instruments with patient studio production magic.
The âWorlds: Liveâ band expertly recreates the studio pieces and mashes them up with remixes from the forthcoming âOtherworldsâ remix album, mixing in a few selections from Fuleroâs previous EDM alter-ego Halo Refuser realized with live instrumentation for the first time. The band includes Brett McConnell on lap steel, Dan Duval on electric & acoustic guitars, and Chelsea Luker on saxophone/flute, alongside Asherâs electric bass, keyboards, and laptop.
âWith this ambitious amalgam of hi-fidelity beat tape and downtempo IDM soundscapes, the renowned keyboardist/producer masterfully blends a minimalist indie aesthetic with copious instrumental virtuosity, resulting in a kaleidoscopic caravan. Nodding to pioneering producers in similar sonic spaces like Emancipator, Tycho, & Bonobo, plus legendary Chicago post-rock scions Tortoise, the emotional quotient reliably rises to the surface, and is discernible early and often. Breakbeat snares, R&B rimshots, and bulbous basslines set a meditative framework, then course-correct into the background, thoughtfully tapered away to make room for more gossamer sounds such as flute, steel guitar, Fender Rhodes, or acoustic piano. Naturally, Fuleroâs prolific piano performances are featured prominently, wonderfully woven into the other melodic elementsâ - B. Getz âLive For Live Musicâ
