Eric Copeland is an experimental musician based in New York. He is a core member of Black Dice and forms half of the duo Terrestrial Tones with Animal Collective's Avey Tare.
With his unique sound, Copeland has established himself as a prominent figure in the experimental music scene. His work pushes boundaries and challenges traditional notions of music, creating a captivating and immersive experience for listeners.
Influenced by artists such as Excepter, Lucky Dragons, Gang Gang Dance, and Prince Rama, Copeland's music combines elements of noise, electronic beats, and abstract melodies. His collaborations with Avey Tare in Terrestrial Tones have resulted in critically acclaimed albums that showcase their innovative approach to music-making.

After the success of last year’s Mixbone EP, four dance music experimentalists have been invited again to remix Eric Copeland. Where 2017’s Goofballs was the first album recorded in its entirety in Eric’s current home of Palma de Mallorca, Spain, and the result of countless hours spent working in the studio, last fall’s Trogg Modal Vol. 1 pushed his ‘Freakbeat 4/4’ agenda even further, with a sense of humor that bubbles over and out through the speakers. Rife with chunky percussive layers and tweaked loopy vocals, these frenzied, self-described “rippers” are practically designed to be remixed.

Parris (Trilogy Tapes, Hemlock) and RAMZi (RVNG, 12th Isle) both take on the singsongy rhythms of “Heads.” Parris’ take pares down the track, giving it room to glisten and expand, while RAMZi’s paddles along in a characteristically murky, laid-back manner. Lokier (Days Of Being Wild, Spirits) goes in for the jugular with an acidic rework of “321 Contact,” repurposing vocal samples as spooky EBM. Closing out the record is Gerry Read (Aus, Accidental Jnr), who pits the heavy stomp of “Electric Mud” against whizzing frequencies. Newfangled interpretations of tracks that were already out there to begin with.
