Taboo presents HELIOS feat. 1979

ABOUT ARTIST:

HELIOS:

A Pennsylvanian by birth, Keith Kenniff is an honors graduate of Boston’s esteemed Berklee College of Music, best known as the brains behind dulcet ambient/electronic practitioner Helios and post-classical piano minimalist music as Goldmund (the latter’s music once described by no less an authority than Ryuichi Sakamoto as “…so, so, so beautiful…”). Together with his wife Hollie, Keith also records as Mint Julep, and the two released their debut album “Save Your Season” which NME coined as “Unquestionably Beautiful”.

1979:

1979, also known by his real name Giovanni Salviato, is an Amsterdam based, Venetian-born artist. Featured by the labels fryhide, previously Klangwelt, AddictedMusic, his newest releases one after the other are gaining international success. His first peak took off with the powerful club banger Prototipo. It received international upraise after Patrice Baumel played it at CRSSD Festival in California(US), then supported by HOSH, Max Cooper, Dominik Eulberg among many. Soon, the summer of 2018 the track “Space Cake” from his latest EP “Once I saw the Sky” on HOSH’s fryhide label, was the second that took over the festival stages with storm and soon broke into the top100 techno charts on Beatport and was also considered one of the top best tracks of techno this summer on the platform. His early music influences sparked in the small town of Vicenza, in the midst of the Alps and Shakespearean North Italy. After his background in classical piano he dove into electronic productions with a steel determination and has been doing it for over 10 years.
