BLIZZARDO's Debut EP, CHALLENGER, on OurLabel Intl



"Blizzardo's synth cords and effects-laden diva vocals give his tune a retro sensibility, while the
wiggling bassline and percussive beat imbue the production with a bubbly sense of fun."
XLR8R

"'You Don't Know Jack' is a great piece of Chicago house, with all the right early 90s vibes."
Acid Ted

BLIZZARDO BIO:
Blizzardo is a new project of psychedelic guitarist, architectural designer, and installation artist Pete Feigenbaum. Although primarily a vocalist, guitarist, bandleader, and producer in Brooklyn's DIY noise/psych underground, his pronounced interest in post-punk, kraut-rock, suddenly gave way to a new fascination with all things Hacienda, Paradise Garage, Acid House + Detroit/Chicago. After furiously producing close to 15 tracks aimed for the club from 2010 to 2012, 'Mr. Price' elbowed its way onto the internet via Sup Magazine and UK taste-makers 20Jazzfunkgreats. Dance music is seldom sentimental about its past in the way that rock can be; but Blizzardo attempts to resuscitate long-lost sounds such as the acid 303 sound, 808 handclaps and classic disco bongos, while utilizing the latest in digital effects automation, ambiance, loops and sampling. Blizzardo is equally at home on the racks next to Traxx classics as it is next to contemporary underground house heads like Pink Skull or Ital. Vibes range from the Kevin Saunderson throwback "Mr. Price" to the spacey and Balaeric "Tax Day", to the poly-rhythmic acid attack of "Rupture." Nonetheless, Blizzardo tracks are united by an attention to detail and layering that defies all things minimal--and a bombastic streak not seen since the KLF burned one million quid. Blizzardo's debut EP, Challenger will be out on August 7th, via OurLabel Intl.

BLIZZARDO PRESS:
"Blizzardo gazes at the chunky architecture of the windy city, through the progressive lens of the legendary Hacienda Heroes. Like them, it delivers an exquisitely cheesy trip, our crystal star-cruiser flies into the heart of the psychedelic galaxy, which happens to be a CGI fractal drone cycling hypnotically in the wall of a hedonistic sweatbox.”
- 20 Jazz Funk Greats

"A sick club trax project that throws his money in the ring with a bunch of strobe lights and an eye to acid house and techno.”
- Impose Magazine

"Blizzardo is straight synthesized sugar cereal. Music for late late late night parties at the houses of people you don't know, in towns you've never been to. Kinda want to do some E and just blizz out.”
- QroMag
