TV ON THE RADIO ON THE RADIO.

I heard this freshly released TV On The Radio track this morn on KCRW. Love Dave Sitek's production...

The track is called "Will Do", and is lifted from their upcoming Interscope release, Nine Types of Light, which is set to be released errrwhere on April 12th...

...they are also beginning a tour 4 days before the album drops....

So Sitek is just all over the place for me in the past couple days. I posted one of his remixes of a  Lykke Li track the other day, and then I get home after hearing the above TOTR track and find this remix of one of my favorite songs/bands of last year...fuck yea stars lining up and shit.

The Naked and Famous - Young Blood

ENTRICUT & ROB SWIFT.

Tonight my brother Entricut opens for Rob Swift of the legendary X-ecutioners with Rajnii as Loose Leaves  @ Club Metronome in Burlington!

Get it homie.

207.



Now a little taste of the headliner and what he doin...

FREE DOWNLOAD of Rob Swift's Scion Radio 17 Host EP as part of his ongoing streaming web radio show, Dope on Plastic. Titled Sketches of The Architect, the 6 track banger revisits some uncompleted songs from his 2010 LP, The Architect, both of which are inspired by a recent deep delve into classical music.

"This new facination influenced his complex, turntable and MPC-based music in unpredictable ways."  

Radio 17 also features a gang of other shows hosted by some of the illest around.

YELA. TRAVIS.

I'M GOOD. I'M TYLER.

ON that indi today. Sllllooooowwww.

No not this Tyler..

thiiiiis Tyler.

VAN CITY x L.A.

Yes. New Oliver again.... This U-Tern (he never fails.) and this U and Oligee team up got me psyched like a Taco Zone suadero molita. Actually no, a little less than that..

SADNESS I'M YOUR BIRD.

Lykke Li  is a longtime fave over hurr @ the Hero. The old incarnation of our site had plenty of features on the Swedish siren.

Well she took a well deserved break from the spotlight, and now that the mystique has had time to build, her second album is nearly upon us.

The first thing to pop from the forthcoming sophmore effort was"Get Some", and the track has been in rotation here in L.A. thanks the the amazingly awesome make me love radio forever, 88.9 KCRW, and she has had a video as well for the track for a bit.



"I Follow Rivers" (also has an amazing video, see below), well, followed, and recently she stopped by BBC Radio 6 to perform a few, and the masses were treated to an acoustic version of another album cut, this one titled "Sadness Is A Blessing". Psyched to hear the studio version....



The full length, Wounded Rhymes, is out March 1st on her own LL Recordings/Atlantic

I saw she was playing L.A. soon, and apparently I slept on it too long because her March 9th (..."the greatest rapper alive died on March 9th"...sorry I couldn't help it!) @ El Rey Theatre is now sold out!!! Boooo!



Oh and I just found this remix from Dave Sitek from TV on The Radio which will appear, with another remix from Subliminal Kid and Van Rivers, on the "I Follow Rivers" single which dropped on Valentine's Day...lovin' it.
 

PLAY DAY.

When I started at the studio where I spend a lot of time these days (the beautiful Fonogenic Studios) one of the first few projects I had the pleasure of being present for, as well as having a small part in the engineering of, was the recording of an EP for the band Dayplayer.  Produced & engineered by my mentor of sorts, Ran Pink, the songs sounded great at the time, and now the day has come that it is available to everyone in all of its full high fidelity goodness! "Hollywood Couple" leads it off, and is one of my favorites, however the guitar solos in both "Smoke & Soot" and "Peak" are also hard to beat. Oh and the synth madness in the end of "Better"?! Well yall know how I feel about synth madness...don't make me go all Yellow Magic Orchestra and shit...



Aaaaaand! Check out the newly released video for the track "To Me"... great concept!
