T.H. White -- "Scene & Modify" SPLIT 12-INCH EP out OCTOBER 30, 2012 on SKY COUNCIL RECORDINGS

SHARED VINYL CONTAINS REMIXES & ORIGINALS FROM
WITH LIONS, WISHES & THIEVES AND DUB CITY

“White is one of the few beat makers that can lay claim to being a musician first and DJ-Producer by default. Sprinklings of enough genres to satisfy a wide range of music fans.”

— Paper Magazine

T.H. WHITE released his fourth full-length release, How Bad Do You Want It!? in Fall 2011, followed by the How Bad Do You Want Remixes!? EP last month. The multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, arranger, producer and DJ presents the SPLIT 12-INCH, Scene & Modify EP, out October 20, 2012 via Sky Council Recordings. The release will also be available digitally.

The vinyl is centered on the T.H. White track “Scene & Modify” and shared with other notable producer/musician combosWith Lions and Wishes and Thieves, who have both remixed the track and provided an original tune of their own for White to remix. Side A of the EP contains the “Scene & Modify” original track as well as remixes and Side B sees T.H. White remixing the original work of the “S&M” remixers. White’s glossy production and writing style has led to remixes forPhenomenal Handclap Band, Fol Chen, Boy in Static and Faunts.

With Lions contributed the track “Olympia” from their Equipo EP, which My Old Kentucky Blog called, “Rich tenor harmonies, dusk-blue piano notes, and the shifting sands of brushes wielded by the percussionist... it’s all about sonic paintings full of color and texture.” Jim Farber from the NY Daily News also lauded the work saying, “With their rich orchestrations and sweeping melodies, With Lions makes cinematic rock you can see.”

Wishes and Thieves had White remix their recent single “Let You In” from their sophomore EP, Forest Fire.

Filter Magazine premiered the video for “Let You In” noting, "The start and stop beat brings the stress and desperation of the track to the forefront while the images give you a sense that emotion is the main driver in this video.”

You’ll also notice a remix and track from Dub City on the 12-inch. Dub City is the side project of T.H. White and he has done several remixes under this name. A full length LP for Dub City is under way and expected to be released sometime in 2013.

From finger picked and crystallized guitars paired with beat driven female vocals to live funky bass grooves under futuristic soaring synths, constant new ground is touched in the music of T.H. White. Foundations lie in the world of DJ/Producers such as Thievery Corporation, LCD Sound System and Moby as his sound interlaces his influences of golden Hip-Hop, psychedelic 70s funk rock and lush lounge beats.

Critics and fans often relate to White's unique blending of ultra-modern production infused with his own organic instrumentation. It’s a sound that has led to his music being featured in the now legendary HBO series The Sopranos, Fox Television’s (X-Files spin-off) The Inside, SYFY Channel’s vampire hit Being Human, BMW ads, several PBS shows and constant use on NPR Radio. This exposure has further led to White becoming an in-demand DJ and music supervisor for such high profile clients as Elle Magazine, Mercedes Fashion Week, Car and Driver Magazine, The Asti Spumonte Company and Premier Magazine.

“With such clever and eclectic touches, this throbbing electro-pop shows a gift for titillating, slinky melodies from the club to the breakfast table. White’s got the skills and the songs are energetic.”

— SPIN Magazine

“T.H. White’s not your average icy synthesizer.”

— Stereogum
