There are at least two artists with this name. Versatile is an American hip hop artist from Chicago, Illinois. Versatile is also a band from Barcelona, founded in April 2005, after a meeting between Dani Dòriga and Sergi Cameron, connected by Eliana Martínez. In 2006 they recorded their first demo Versatile Magic Experience, it brings them to win prizes like Embrió 2006 in Bocanord and the second prize in the spanish national contest "U-play", organized by Sennheiser & Hard Rock Café. In 2008 they self-produce their first LP “La Habitación de la Luz”.
Excellent 60s summertime vibes from this Brazilian psychedelic foursome. This one came out of absolutely nowhere, and is easily one of the better submissions to appear in our inbox recently. Although As Plantas Que Curam doesn't boast the same squeaky clean studio recording quality as Tame Impala/Foxygen/Jacco Gardner's most recent records, this debut EP will certainly catch the attention of those who've been loving those records. There's also something about their sound that instantly transported me back to when I heard Dungen for the first time almost 10 years ago.
