Coupons – Driving to your House Party
Standing atop Mount Vesuvius, Stuart Chater turns to Brent Haley, "We should fly off this mountain top."
"... do you want to make music first?"
"Yeah. Alright."
And so, Coupons musical collaboration was born. Hailing from Sydney, Australia this duo have been producing Dream Rave for the past two years, embracing the D.I.Y approach in a studio built from hot-ass tech, preloved keys, suspicious cables, duct tape and love, they compose addictive tracks like clouds make rain.
Exhibiting early potential, the lads won Royksopp's "Tricky Tricky" remix competition to some acclaim, check out the MySpace. You'll see. A girl I know, she loved it. They also dabble in live performance. The exercise is healthy.
They wrote a single, it's pretty boss. People like Aeroplane are playing to hot girls in sun dresses. According to Stuart "Singles are the future."
"Singles are also the roots," replies Brent.
Both are correct.
Here is said single. Discotexas have put it out. Now our robot overlords will enslave us all. Here's hoping they love synth.

BXENTRIC (MODA): The EP has been perfect weapon in our collection of records. We have been supporting the original and all remixes in our latest Moda gigs playing it to over 4000 people in just 2 weeks.
Over the past years, Australia has offered us a number of bands and producers with a distinctive sound. Still argued whether they add a indie feel to dance music or a dance feel to indie music the fact is that this new "australian sound" attracts more and more fans worlwide.
Coupons are a new breed within this australian indie dance scene, calling their style dreamrave: a restless amalgamation of bright textures and toe-tapping percussion. take 8 parts of disco, 4 parts 80's pop and 17 parts of awesome and you'll get the picture. After a number of fine remixes under their belts, "Driving to Your House Party" is their debut release featuring remixes from fellow australian producer/musician Jad and The Ladyboy and two Discotexas in house producers: Xinobi and Moullinex, the latter in collaboration with SymbolOne, introducing their new collaboration moniker, 'Gesso'.
