Big Data

Led by Brooklyn-based producer Alan Wilkis, Big Data is a contemporary electro-pop group that features vocalist Daniel Armbruster. Rajeev Basu ("interactive/hacker") and GHOST+COW ("visual") have also been credited with input. During the tail-end of the 2000s and the beginning of the 2010s, Wilkis established himself as a remix producer for the likes of Temper Trap ("Sweet Disposition"), Fenech-Soler ("Demons"), and Yelle ("Que Veux-Tu") — one who makes all-new instrumentals and uses only the vocal tracks from the original material. Big Data took shape in 2012 and debuted the following October with a four-track EP titled 1.0, issued on Wilkis' Wilcassettes label. The same year, Wilkis also issued PRINTS — a four-track release as well, based on collaborations with Armbruster's Joywave, the Kickdrums, Paul Holmes, and World War. Big Data's 1.5, consisting of eight remixes of 1.0's" Dangerous," was out by year's end.
