Free Friday: Habits – “Desert Daze Remixtape”

L.A. based synth-pop producer Habits (Dustin Krapes) will be performing at the Desert Daze Festival this weekend at the Sunset Ranch Oasis in Mecca, CA alongside headliners The Raveonettes, Liars, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.  In celebration, he has released the Desert Daze Remixtape via his Soundcloud page on which he puts his own glitchy synth-driven spin on tracks from five of his fellow Desert Daze performers such as Deap Valley, Fever The Ghost, Liphemra, Froth and Corners.  The standout tracks include the funky and danceable beat added to Fever The Ghost’s “Source” and the stuttering electronics of “Woman Of Intention” by female garage rock duo, Deap Valley.

Additionally, Habits released his latest synth and sample-based album; Unselves In Arrival via Austin cassette label Fleeting Youth Records earlier this year.  The excellent album - available digitally and on cassette - perfectly showcases his post-punk and psych-pop influenced brand of electro-rock.
