NIGHT PLANE
William Rauscher is Night Plane. He is watched over by the god Apollo. Raised in Texas, William currently lives in New York where he produces music, writes and teaches at NYU. After several years playing fuzzed-out keys in rock bands, William started Night Plane, which he was flown solo since 2009. His live set is a potent brew of sexy slow-mo disco, minimal house, indie vibes and Madchester madness. Night Plane has performed live on three continents, including recent stops in Moscow, Berlin, the Wolf+Lamb label showcase at WMC 2012, and D-Edge in Sao Paulo.
Night Plane caught notice in 2010 when his dream-house bootleg Str8 2 Ur Heart caught on fire, first championed by Soul Clap and then receiving heavy support from the likes of DJ Three, Till Von Sein and Sasha. Last year his haunting tune Parallel Lines made it onto the Clap’s mix for Art Department’s No.19 label, and his well-loved remix of LA girl rockers Warpaint lit up the deep house dancefloors with its potent brew of indie guitars and trippy vocals.
In 2010 Willliam founded CCC together with DJ Harry Bennett and art director JM as an outlet for creative projects in multiple fields. The CCC label output includes Str8 2 Ur Heart as well as the barnstorming Acid Snow and a number of deep-house tinged indie remixes. CCC’s first book, On Acid: A Field Guide to Altered States, collects research from the group’s encyclopedic Acid Age blog. On Acid explores psychedelia in contemporary art and literature and was recently acquired by the MoMA library

NICK MONACO
In the year 1990 Nick Monaco was conceived by two passionate lovebirds in the mystical depths of the Grand Canyon, it was known then that this boy was destined to make magic himself. Nick is a 90’s baby from Northern California’s Bay Area. He likes long walks on the beach, appreciates sunshine, bass and abides by his personal philosophy: the weirder, the funkier, the better.
Rocking house parties is how Nick spent most weekends in his not so distant adolescence. Thank G-O-D for out of town parents! While his peers fussed over iPod playlists, Monaco busted in with crates of wax and brought down the spot, learning to win the crowds in true school style.
As a freshman in high school, Monaco was obsessed with turntablism and anything with the words Hip and Hop in it. Locking himself in his bedroom with his decks he scratched his fingers numb for more than 5 hours a day. Practice seemed to make perfect as he was soon sought after for his innovative scratches by the all-time extraterrestrial DJ Qbert who asked for Monaco’s contribution for the instructional glossary “Scratchlopedia Breaktannica.” (Available online!)
Nick will tell you himself, he is as much influenced by Deee-Lite as he is by Elliot Smith and you can really hear it in his wide and eclectic musical tastes. The Soul Clap boys would agree. They received a demo from Monaco in 2011, which featured “Set the Table,” and were blown away by its quirkiness, innocence, and originality. Since then they have adopted him as a part of the Soul Clap family and have saved a seat for him on the mothership, Soul Clap Records.
Claude VonStroke over in the offices of Dirty Bird Records has also taken a shining to Monaco. When Nick kicked off 2012 with “Long Kiss Goodnight (Soul Clap Edit),” it was signed to Dirtybird’s “Hatched” compilation; a meaningful gesture electing him to represent the future of his native Bay Area. Currently Nick Monaco is making his transition from big bass to deeper, emotional, and more musical explorations, a sign of maturity and growth, the fruit of which we are soon to taste.
