Schematic Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schematic records releases often feature striking covers by top designers such as The Designers Republic, Friends With You, Graphic Havok and Keep Adding.
Formerly dubbed Soul Oddity, they were hometown champions of electronic music, pioneering Miami’s rave scene. A dispute with their first label, Astralwerks, inspired a change in name and attitude. As Phoenecia, the quirky duo (Joshua Kay and Romulo del Castillo) have spearheaded the Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) movement with their inventive, chirpy, blip-and-bass antics.
They have set aside recording to run their label, Schematic Music, and to manage other artists. But lately they’ve been performing out, including a Soul Oddity tribute concert in the Design District that drew hundreds of old-school fans clamoring for the once-hot tune "DJ Tokyo." Phoenecia puts art -- abstract collages of synthesized sound -- before pandering to fans. The future-is-now approach leads many to consider them legends ahead of their time.
