S Transporter is Izaak S and Ryan Spencer, a pan-American duo of exact origins unknown. With roots jetsetting to and from Detroit & San Francisco, the project is somewhere around "4 years old," conceptualized between DJ gigs & throwing raves. The songs were initially demoed in Izaak's bedroom and forgotten about, until Ryan played them at his weekly, Monday Is The New Monday (co-founded with PGS' Ben & Zach). Immediately, the songs burst with new life into their ears, with requests to hear more. In a tale every creative can relate to, Ryan, simply, didn't know if they were good. We found them extraordinary.
What followed were several months of phone calls, Facetimes, iMessages, and group texts, edits & additional recording sessions, in Ryan's apartment in Southwest Detroit, Izaak's in SF, and the Portage Garage in Hamtramck. The songs showcase a sound more influenced by the genre-collisions featured at MITNM, from Krautrock, boogie, trance, to acid and house, in a way other PGS releases have hinted at, but never fully expressed.
S Transporter is the name of the EP, the project, and all four songs. A maximalist sound with a minimalist presentation, naming the songs - so many years after their inception - would, perhaps, take away from the feeling the feeling that struck all three of us the first time we heard them on a club-grade sound system.
Izaak S is a San Francisco resident, DJ from the Loveshadow dance collective.
Ryan Spencer is a Detroit resident, DJ, co-founder of Monday Is The New Monday, and is a member of Freakish Pleasures.
