We’re excited to announce that as of last week, Real Magic has officially joined the Madison House roster for booking and 11E1even group for management!

A Denver native and Bay Area newcomer, Real Magic entered the scene a little over 2 years ago with his self-titled EP on LA’s Heart Music Group, and a mention in Stereogum’s Artists to Watch feature. He has since opened for the likes of YACHT and School of Seven Bells and has performed at festivals such as CMJ, Goldrush and more.

For those unfamiliar with Real Magic, his distinctive baritone vocals  are what really separate him from his electronic music contemporaries and add a significant layer to his dark yet uplifting electro-pop compositions.

Stream in full/purchase Real Magic’s debut LP, “Deep Breathing” over at the HUG Records bandcamp: http://hugrecords.bandcamp.com/album/deep-breathing

HU’s Experimental ambient noise makers The Kevin Costner Suicide Pact recently premiered their new record, Tape Phase, on Decoder magazine. Read the review and stream the album in full over at Decoder and order your copy on cassette (or digital) today through Fire Talk records.

Denver’s mysterious dark-wave duo Force Publique are back with a new music video/cover of The Smashing Pumpkins’ hit “Today” that just premiered over on the Mishka blog!

HU’s own Men in Burka sign with UK Label Robot Elephant Records for the release of their forthcoming Techno Allah EP! The EP has been described by KIT Records as ” Joy Division meets Omar Souleyman” and we couldn’t agree more.

Preview their new song “Kumb Mela” on the new Robot Elephant Mix Tape (3rd from last), and grab a copy on vinyl starting June 22nd!
