After the unexpected attention from their debut EP, How Long Does It Take To Get To Space?, classmates Henry Allen and Preston Walker, known by most as the live EDM duo VIRTUAL BOY, took some time to create their follow up effort, Omega Supreme – EP, scheduled to release on 1320 Records on June 29th, 2010. The EP features two new tracks with remixes from cohorts, St Andrew and FuzZ, as well as the duo’s college professor and Los Angeles electronic producer don, Steve Nalepa. With another release on the horizon, Omega Supreme – EP is a regal sample of what Virtual Boy has in store for the future.

After nearly a year of intense synthesizer love making, FuzZ is set to release Sparkle Vision, a 23-minute collection of delightfully evil, and strangely sparkly music. Meshing distorted funk riffs with 80’s inspired synthesis and heavy psychedelic interludes, Sparkle Vision fuses several musical influences into a cohesive, and enjoyable wall of so

Steve Nalepa teaches a music technology class at Chapman University Conservatory of Music that has become a breeding ground for inspiring new talent; alumni include fellow 1320 artists Virtual Boy, FuzZ and St Andrew. His students receive an abundance of audio production and recording techniques, explore the history of innovation in music technology, and get deep with Ableton Live, Reason and Logic. Each week they create songs, score to picture and craft remixes, and also receive a heavy dose of career advice from the high-profile guests that come in and lecture throughout the semester. Previous guests include Mary Anne Hobbs, Nosaj Thing, Richard Devine, Adam Freeland, Daddy Kev, The Glitch Mob, The Delta Mirror, and Lorn to name a few. In this first installment of the ‘Professor Nalepa vs’ series of collaborative EPs between teacher and former students, Nalepa hit the studio with indie rockers, It’s Not Over Quebec. The resulting tracks developed organically into deep, heavy rocking electronic excursions that ended up pushing both artists into uncharted territory.
