33Hz Embark on Whirlwind European Tour

33Hz is recognized as one of New York's best-known electro-pop acts, who have followings from NYC to Paris to Istanbul to Brazil to Tennessee, Oklahoma and San Francisco (not that exact route). Having most of their album featured on MTV's the Real World and Road Rules has helped the word spread about 33Hz as have highly acclaimed UK remixes of "Crazy All the Time" and "Hot Flashes," which are featured on Ministry of Sound's Ibiza 2006 compilation. With a whirlwind tour of Europe in March, you can experience 33Hz with gigs in Paris (9th March), Berlin (13th March) and London (14th, 15th & 16th March). If comparisons had to be made they might fit somewhere between The Scissor Sisters, Timberlake/Timbaland, and Justice. Except that its pure tri-state-trash funk. Strong Island baby.

London, UK (PRWEB) February 28, 2007 -- 33Hz is Bennie Lowe and Timothy G. Wagner, childhood friends from the eastern reaches of Long Island, who have gone on to become one of New York City's best-known electro-pop acts. After garnering an international following with their first record, 33Hz (Outlook Music), the group's notoriety has ballooned thru Myspace, high profile Radio Plays, remixes and of course, word-of-mouth.

Somehow that word has spread from NYC to Paris to Istanbul to Brazil (where there is an Orkut community dedicated strictly to 33Hz) to Tennessee, Oklahoma and San Francisco (not that exact route, perhaps). The band's urbane approach to 21st century electro has managed to cross cultural, geographical and political lines.

33Hz the album was informed equally by classic R&B and NYC garage and electro; quite a shocking mix in 2005 for a world obsessed by only the latest indie rock trend. Its creation was facilitated by NFL Star Trevor Pryce, who signed them to his Outlook Music Label in 2003. But through positive reviews (Urb, 4 Stars) word of mouth and US touring, news of the album's unique sound began to spread.

Having four tracks featured on MTV's the Real World and Road Rules helped as well, as did play in every mall chain store known to man from Abercrombie & Fitch to Hollister to the always-stylish American Eagle. Soon enough, the world was waiting for more 33Hz.

They released their single Crazy All the Time/Hot Flashes on DefDrive
records in the UK in May 2006, and soon their "tron-inspired" (and heavily blogged about) video for "Hot Flashes" was in rotation on M2 UK while Pete Tong was extolling the virtues of the group's sound on BBC Radio 1. DJs across Europe soon caught wind of 33Hz and their next vinyl release (on Dominique Keegan's Plant Music), Whatever Happened to the Party? quickly sold out its first few runs. Remixes of "Crazy All the Time" and "Hot Flashes" were also widely played and the former was featured on Ministry of Sound's Ibiza 2006 compilation.

The group toured Europe in Spring 2006 and then Canada with Architecture in Helsinki during summer, after which point they were commissioned by the aforementioned to contribute to their forthcoming remix album. The
subsequent 33Hz remix of "It's Five" was a huge success, and has been raved about throughout the blogosphere from Pitchfork to QBIM to Fluokids in France while filling dancefloors in Sydney and Berlin.

The group also had the opportunity to collaborate with two rappers from two different sides of the Atlantic: Devin Tha Dude of Houston, Texas, and TTC's Teki Latex of Paris, France. The result was the remix project, "Paris, Texas," which features mixes of the original roller by some of the international electronic underground's hottest new names: Max Pask, Curtis Vodka, in Flagranti, Gentlemen Drivers, 33Hz and yes, Architecture in Helsinki. Hitting stores and dancefloors this spring.

33Hz European Tour
33Hz have tweaked their live show to reflect their 2007 sound. Definitely customized to rock the dance-floor, the group's new tracks are completely unique yet remain unmistakably 33Hz. Harder and more electronic, they reflect living in a post hip-hop New York obsessed by wealth, yet a place where disco has returned to the underground clubs in new and exciting forms. If comparisons had to be made, 33Hz's music might fit somewhere between The Scissor Sisters, Timberlake/Timbaland, and Justice. Except that it's pure tri-state-trash funk. Strong Island baby.
