about

AFTV aka Austin Fox and Tiago Varjao are two of the most unique, innovative, and knowledgable members of the Texas underground music community. When discussing music with them one quickly realizes how wide and vast their musical knowledge and influence. It's rare that you'll find a pair of people who's inspiration comes everywhere from Brazilian jazz, early country music, punk, ambient, classical, techno, shoegaze, italo, synth-pop, and just about everywhere in between.

This project was a long time coming and has been in the works for many years. The two have been recording music together for over a decade and has resulted in boxes upon boxes of cassette tape and reel to reel recordings. They do this on their own terms unapologetically with more regard to the moment, the feeling, and the mood than professional recording techniques and pre/post production. I felt extremely lucky to have this vault of music opened to me as AFTV's music in a sense is sacred and is never flaunted out to those other than a select few in their inner circle. I spent hours upon hours listening back to and digitizing these recordings in order to finally get AFTV's music out to all their adoring fans who had been wanting this for years. Many live shows they performed left audiences in awe, always wanting more, yet would have to succumb to the highest level of patience in order to catch one of these infrequent performances once again.

AFTV's self-titled release is a culmination of the best of (in my opinion) 6 cassette tapes and 3 reel to reels. This has been compiled in a way that showcases their prowess in creating different forms of electronic music made for different frames of mind. The first half features cuts aimed at the dance floor with elements of acid, industrial, and deep house yet has a certain character only Austin and Tiago are able to create. The second half is a psychedelic trip with their ambient and dub techno flags raised high, transporting you to a higher plane and level of consciousness.
