Pocket (aka Richard Jankovich) was the principal creative mind and front man for NYC electro pop band, Burnside Project. Their single “Cue The Pulse To Begin” became the theme song for Showtime’s Queer As Folk and went Top 40 in Japan. Since 2006, Jankovich has been making a new name for himself in the remix community as Pocket, quickly becoming one of today’s most celebrated producers. POCKET has remixed Beck,Radiohead, Kristin Hersh, Of Montreal, Elk City, Joanna Newsom, Cat Power, Dirty on Purpose, Antony & The Johnsonsand many many more. Pocket’s most ambitious project yet is a year’s worth of singles featuring a stunning lineup of both legendary musicians and breaking artists; a vast array of partners pairing vocal and remixing talents with POCKET’s boundless creativity. Artists featured in the series include Robyn Hitchcock, Tanya Donelly (Belly), Steve Kilbey (The Church), Sal Principato(Liquid Liquid), Yuki Chikudate (Asobi Seksu), Craig Wedren(Shudder To Think), Danny Seim (Menomena), Dave Smalley(Dag Nasty / Down By Law), Mark Burgess (The Chameleons UK), and many many more.
