Coalesced are a music production and live act (Mike Bandoni & James Warren). Both are accomplished DJs and their stock has rapidly risen since writing and producing together at the beginning of 2006 and recently taking an exciting live act on the road.
Mike & James come from divergent musical backgrounds - James gradually gaining a reputation as a meticulous programmer of quality digital mixes (downloaded in many cases by tens of thousands of people!) which he's now transferring into the live arena; and Mike with vast knowledge and experience as a signed recording artist, talented musician and DJ. Mike has remixed and featured alongside the likes of Mother Earth, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Nostramus, James Hardway, and DJ Pogo amongst others, for a range of labels such as ACID JAZZ Records, EMI, Substance Recordings and many more! These varied musical upbringings have given the duo an added dimension lacking in much of today's dance music to enable them to come together to produce some of the most exciting and intelligent breaks music heard in recent times.
Rather than slavishly following the sample based path made easier by recent developments in software technology, Coalesced place greater emphasis on the melodic structure and arrangement of their tracks, by creating the majority of musical components themselves. This gives their music an added dimension, sometimes lacking in the world of looping and sampling. With a musical pedigree of that of Coalesced, nothing less than first class original instrumentation can be expected!
To date labels as diverse as Morphosis, Composure and Polytechnic are all promoting the work of Coalesced with plenty more expressing strong interest for future works. With fresh material and shows planned for the coming year, you can be sure to hear the sound of Coalesced in a club near you…

I hope all is well and good and I just wanted to let you know I've just put up a new track called ECHO so I thought you might want to have a listen. :o) It's just the instrumental version I did not long ago but I do have a full section of vocal to arrange into this track so I'll keep you posted on the outcome! :o)

Sure thing James, just let me know what you want. I'm busy with wedding and honeymoon until the end of August so I'll be happy to get back into it in September. Can't wait to hear the final track.
Hi James, hope all is well. Hows that new track coming with the vocal we recorded? I'm sure Mike told you about our gig on Norway so here are a few vids for you to check out.
it's been a while but come and have a listen to a new track (in my player now). I haven't put anything up since the last EP. This new track 'Solitude' is of a laid back, chillout kind of vibe.
Rich strings against distant pianos, textured synths and light rhythms make this a 'kick back and smoke a phat one' moment! Ideal perhaps for a movie soundtrack so I am told...
Please listen and enjoy and give me some feedback if possible as Im thinking of releasing this digitally alongside some other choice cuts!
