When Joel Ford and Daniel Lopatin met in sixth grade, they bonded over jazz-fusion tapes, blasting tracks from Dan's father's collection of dubbed Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra c90s. As time passed, both Dan & Joel were immersed in their own personal projects Joel with Tigercity and Daniel with Oneohtrix Point Never, when they started to send each other tracks via the Internet. Channel Pressure, the production duo's debut full-length album is a highly focused study in the effects of consumer electronics that touches on sensual bangers and hyper-spherical anthems prime for the dance floor.
