Pnau

Pnau — featuring Sydney college buddies Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes — weren’t the normal Aussie music action if they first strike the stage through the mid-’90s. Rather than rock, they performed acid home and trance. Within a changing environment down under, nevertheless, where dance music was attaining power, the duo quickly won a lot of supporters and respect. By enough time Pnau had been ready to released their debut record, that they had gravitated toward deep home, funk, and hip-hop with Latin and jazz tastes. The album, entitled Sambanova, premiered in 1999 by Warner and produced a huge splash on Australia’s underground music picture. However, due to issues with the copyright of a number of the examples applied to the record, the record firm made a decision to re-release it. The brand new edition of Sambanova arrived in 2001, minus two monitors included on the initial, “Arthur’s Pizza” and “Disk One,” but boasting three clean quantities: “Trip Agent,” “Normal Time,” and “Searchin’.” The group’s profile increased during the remaining 2000s, because of albums such as for example 2007’s self-titled work and 2011’s Soft Universe. The duo continued to be prolific collaborators, with tasks including Empire of sunlight, Littlemore’s group using the Sleepy Jackson’s Luke Steele, and HELLO to the night time, a 2012 recording with Elton John.
