Altrice

Tucson, Arizona's Altrice produces music ranging from reflective, sample-driven downtempo to bittersweet house tracks. Initially earning attention for his remixes of <a href="spotify:artist:4aEnNH9PuU1HF3TsZTru54">Caribou</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4Z8W4fKeB5YxbusRsdQVPb">Radiohead</a> during the early 2010s, he largely kept a low profile for the rest of the decade, releasing hip-hop and experimental material before issuing an EP of club-friendly tracks, Compciter, in 2022.

Altrice, whose real name is Mike Sadatmousavi, remixed the <a href="spotify:artist:4aEnNH9PuU1HF3TsZTru54">Caribou</a> song "Sun" as part of a remix contest in 2010. His mix won and was featured on Swim Remixes along with contributions by <a href="spotify:artist:39x9e2QDpAxK8xTuJDwRqR">Junior Boys</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6xS3zemJD9h94iueQvGqVk">Gold Panda</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1kR99O4MgSTasyeJh8UFCg">DJ Koze</a>, and others. Altrice then remixed the entire Swim album and released it as Stem. He additionally made an appearance on <a href="spotify:artist:4Z8W4fKeB5YxbusRsdQVPb">Radiohead</a>'s remix album TKOL RMX 1234567. Later in the decade, he digitally released two independent full-lengths, Mehran (2017) and Contemporary LP (2019), which mixed organic downtempo and low-key house tracks. He also released collaborations with Arizona-based conscious rapper Jaca Zulu. Focusing on club material, Altrice released the five-song Compciter EP on <a href="spotify:artist:4aEnNH9PuU1HF3TsZTru54">Caribou</a>'s <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Jiaolong%22">Jiaolong</a> label in 2022. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
