“(Data Romance’s music) is a modern marvel of enthralling electronic bliss, and it's bound to captivate anyone and everyone who falls into it. Somehow, this speaks to the heavy music fans and the hipsters, and those might as well be the two toughest crowds in existence.” –ARTISTdirect

Electronic duo Data Romance is excited to announce a run of national tour dates this summer. Joining Skullcandy’s acclaimed ‘IDentity Festival’, the band is set to perform on the main stage,  featuring a bill of electronic music’s best names including: Kascade, Steve Aoki, Pretty Lights, Holy Ghost, Jessie and the Toy Boys, and The Crystal Method. “It'll be surreal sharing the stage with artists who've been inspiring our music over the years.

The enigmatic sounds on Data Romance’s self-titled debut blur the lines between genres. A happenstance meeting between Ajay Bhattacharyya and Amy Kirkpatrick, both 25, in their hometown of Victoria on Canada’s Vancouver Island led the pair to discover each others’ artistic talent, which would eventually be incorporated into their music. Kirkpatrick was using her training to do lights for the city’s biggest clubs. Bhattacharyya, meanwhile, had come to the city to study sound design for film, mentored by the likes of master Craig Berkey, who has worked on movies like No Country For Old Men, True Grit, and Transformers. Kirkpatrick’s lighting experience influenced Data Romance’s highly visual live show, while Bhattacharyya’s film training can be heard in the album’s most intricate tracks.
