Hemingway may be considered a veteran from the Electro Wars era:
Pelifics – Forever (Hemingway Remix)
He was making chill waves before chillwave became the genre du jour, and his sound has this tropical vibe to it – before it became the thing to do for other dj’s/remixers, and yet he remains in relative obscurity to the proletariat of the electro indie-webz.
Hemingway is the talented James Harris from Toronto.
Hemingway’s work may be labeled many different things and if we’re playing this game then I think tropical-dreamwave to be quite fitting.
Whatever you want to call it you can’t deny that this dj is very creative and fresh with his sound:
Cyclist – Bass Face (Hemingway’s Space Party Remix)
Hemingway’s tracks are hard to pin down — not strictly dancefloor per se, his songs are listenable in any alternative state your indie-self might be:
they’re good to vibe out to with your chill bros and broettes, they’re good to grind out too – in SloMo, of course – with some alternative bootie, they’re perfect for when you’re cruisin’ the midnight city, and they’re a fitting choice for when you’re experimenting with some designer drugs.
Hemingway’s mixes are always a trip
When I listen to his tracks I am always transported to some sort of Banana Republic juxtaposed with the haziness of Los Angeles at 4:55am and a swirl of coconut essence (I blame the bongo drums!).
Matt Van Schie – Lady (Hemingway’s Beach Bossa Mix) (Be My Lady)
With such funkiness oozing out of every song Hemingway has been a long time indie electro fave for me.
Hemingway has always struck me as an absurdly creative dj/producer/remixer – taking songs in surprisingly refreshing directions.
His remixes are well executed but don’t feel too serious – they’re playful, easy going on your eardrums, and with gorgeous tropi-cool laced vibes.
Keenhouse – Aries (Hemingways Starlight Yacht Remix)
Word on the web is that he might be releasing an EP this year.
If 2012 is gonna bring anything special, I pray to the indie-electro gods that it is Hemingway’s long-awaited EP!
So, when/if the world goes at least I’ll have a dope soundtrack to go with the fireworks!
