Podcast XLR8R Podcast - Azari & III

[[ms]_Podcast_Bot]

XLR8R has been following the exploits of Azari & III for quite some time. Back in the summer of 2010, we did an in-depth feature on the elusive outfit, and in the months and years that followed, we've seen the Toronto-based group turn out a solid array of singles, videos, and even a self-titled debut full-length, all without thrusting themselves completely into the spotlight. Even now, as the album is being reissued today—surprisingly enough, via the Dim Mak imprint—and the group is set to embark on a large-scale North American tour put together by Barcelona's Sónar festival, the popularity of Azari & III can largely be traced back to one thing: the music. Effectively mining the best bits of late-'80s/early-'90s house and techno and brilliantly incorporating live, attitude-laden vocals into the mix, Azari & III's output may lean retro, but it remains thrilling all the same—as does the prospect of the group putting together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series.
