Jeannie Hopper had a very candid conversation with Oliver Stumm and Domie Clausen, the NYC-based production and DJ duo A Touch Of Class (ATOC). ATOC was featured during the 2006 PS1 Contemporary Art Center's Warm Up DJ summer series. They founded A Touch Of Class Recordings in 1999 as a platform to release their own music material as well as help launch other acts. ATOC fit style-wise somewhere between Electro/Disco and Dance Rock, combining real instruments with electronics. They have delivered an impressive roster of production work and have had numerous chart toppers in the U.K., including Scissor Sisters' Comfortably Numb and Filthy Gorgeous, The Ones' Flawless, and Xavier's Give Me The Night. They are known for both discovering the then unknown Scissor Sisters as well as producing and releasing the band's first few singles before signing them to a major label. ATOC have remixed artists such as The Gossip, Le Tigre, A.R.E. Weapons, Erasure, et al. to high reviews and DJ play. Their work is best heard on their critically acclaimed 2003 retrospective A Touch Of Class Sucks! and the 2007 follow up A Touch Of Class Still Sucks!.
