Deep Space

Deep Space was created in the mystical wee hours of acid trips and seances within the desert lands of Austin TX, 2012. Women moan & men scream but there's no sound to be found out here in Deep Space. "Evil Dreams" is the upcoming sophomore release to the ground breaking "Cosmic Waves", a psychedelic trip that was released early February 2013.

Helado Negro

The son of Ecuadorean immigrants, Roberto Carlos Lange was born in South Florida in 1980. His childhood was suffused with tropical heat, humidity, hurricanes, all refracted with the rich sounds and colors of the various Latin American cultures of southern Florida. Pounding bass beats from passing cars, boom boxes bouncing down the block, and late-night parties called "peñas" provided a foundation for Lange’s interest in sound and lifelong quest to discover the unlimited variety of objects used to produce music.
